Produced by Banijay subsidiary NL Film, the Dutch version of the Amazon Original series will premiere on Prime Video.
This winter, the Dutch adaptation of the Amazon Original series Modern Love will premiere exclusively on Prime Video, worldwide in more than 240 countries and territories.
Modern Love shows a variety of stories about love and relationships, with each episode based on the popular column from The New York Times. For the Dutch Modern Love series, leading directors and writers have collaborated. The columns they have chosen form the basis for this heartwarming series. The stories all take place in Amsterdam, from central station, the Amstel to Amsterdam-Noord and Zuidoost.
“Modern Love Amsterdam is the series we wanted to make right now. A series that shows that love always wins, no matter how confusing the time we live in is. The makers have opted for special, authentic stories in which the characters all search for love in their own way,” says Jacomien Nijhof, head of Netherlands Originals, Amazon Studios.
“What does fidelity look like in an open relationship, or how do you deal with equality and dependence if your partner suddenly becomes disabled? I am very impressed with the vulnerability that can be felt in the unique stories, which will certainly appeal to our viewers.”
“Modern Love transcends distance and differences between people, which is why it resonates internationally with a large audience,” said Georgia Brown, head of European Originals, Amazon Studios. “We are very excited to give a unique Dutch perspective to this format, for our Dutch and international viewers.”
Modern Love is produced by NL Film with Sabine Brian as producer and Robert Alberdingk Thijm as showrunner. The episodes were written by Robert Alberdingk Thijm, Roos Ouwehand, Maud Wiemeijer, Anne Barnhoorn, and Esther Duysker. The directors are Mijke de Jong, Boudewijn Koole, Mischa Kamp, Mustafa Duygulu, and Norbert ter Hall.
