New Netflix Dutch Drama: Key Details

What Is It About?

The new drama follows Alex. When she meets the charming Christiaan, there is an immediate spark between them. What begins as an unexpected and passionate romance gradually evolves into a relationship that becomes increasingly unhealthy. Alex throws herself wholeheartedly into this new and unexpected love — but the unpredictability with which Christiaan alternately pulls her close and pushes her away becomes maddening, and in her attempts to prove her love, Alex risks losing everything, including herself. whats-on-netflix

It’s a story that cuts close to home for many — the kind of psychological drama that holds a mirror up to toxic relationship patterns with unflinching honesty. European Netflix originals have a strong track record with this genre, and this one looks to follow suit.

Who Stars in It?

Leading the series is Hadewych Minis, best known for her role as Marina in the film Borgman, for which she won the Dutch Golden Calf Award for Best Actress in 2013, and who later appeared in the Netflix film Forever Rich. Alongside her, Belgian actor Geert van Rampelberg takes on the male lead — known for Young Hearts, The Alzheimer Case, and Patsers, and recognisable to Netflix viewers from the French crime series Ganglands.

The supporting cast includes Ruben van der Meer, Marcel Hensema, Yootha Wong-Loi-Sing, Freek Bartels, and several others — a deep ensemble that suggests serious dramatic ambition.

Director Paula van der Oest shared her enthusiasm: “I am looking forward to bringing this vulnerable story to life as a series, supported by a remarkable cast. Portraying the anatomy of a toxic relationship requires precision and mutual trust from everyone involved on set.” whats-on-netflix
