"Liefde Zonder Grenzen" (translated: "Love without Borders") - The love life of sisters Eva (Yolanthe Cabau) and Lieke, brother Maarten (Jim Bakkum) and father Ferry is completely different and anything but standard. And yet, despite all prejudices, love prevails... The co-production with our Dutch production partner NewBe is a refreshing romantic comedy that celebrates love and life! Trailer (Dutch)

MISFIT: De Serie - Julia (Djamila) and her friends are working on a cool musical with their own music and choreography. In the middle of their preparations, the new headmistress Agnes bursts and forbids them to continue. Her motto is: discipline, good grades and a lot of learning work - and that is not compatible with the work on the musical. But Agnes did not count on Julia's determination. Will the friends manage to perform their dream musical and reclaim "their" school? The co-production with our Dutch production partner NewBe also features the proven and popular cast of Djamila and Niek Roozen in the series version.The nationwide Netflix campaign of the series included a premiere at the Cinekid festival and a Misfit experience Tiktok Museum where fans can make pictures and tiktoks on several locations in The Netherlands.
