Vox Continues Long‑Term Series 'Wir werden groß'
Vox announced two new episodes of its long-term documentary series "Wir werden groß!" to air on 28 July and 4 August 2026 at 20:15. The series, which began in 2016, follows twelve children who are now 13–14 years old; the upcoming episodes carry the theme "Teenagers on a voyage of discovery" and feature a sailing adventure intended to test friendships. The project is produced by sagamedia, filmed with 30 remote cameras and supported by developmental psychologists. Vox positions the episodes as a generational observational documentary exploring self-discovery, friendship, first love and responsibility rather than a classic youth doc.
Routine broadcaster programming update with limited industry impact beyond scheduling, audience planning and short‑term ad inventory implications; notes involvement of production company sagamedia.
