BBC Studios launching BBC NL+ in Netherlands
May 1, 2025
BBC Studios is expanding its content offering for audiences in the Netherlands with the launch of a multi-genre VoD and streaming service, BBC NL+. The service will launch with KPN later this year.
The new service will complement BBC Studios’ linear channel BBC NL and enable viewers to discover more programming and iconic brands from the BBC and beyond with curated collections across drama, comedy, factual entertainment, soaps, entertainment, lifestyle and natural history, all fully localised with Dutch subtitles. Viewers will also be able to livestream the newly rebranded BBC NL channel as well as enjoy selected dramas ahead of their linear TX. The service will also offer access to FAST channels BBC Drama and Top Gear.
Bram Husken, SVP & General Manager Benelux & Nordics at BBC Studios, commented: “The BBC brand has a longstanding history in the Netherlands and we are extremely proud to be expanding our offering for local audiences. This new video on demand and streaming platform is highly sought-after with our viewers and broadening our content mix with the introduction of BBC NL+ on KPN TV+ later this year will mean subscribers can enjoy even more powerful, entertaining and inspiring storytelling from the BBC and beyond, all with Dutch subtitles. We are grateful to be building on our longstanding relationship, launching BBC NL+ on KPN.”
“We are very pleased with the launch of BBC NL+ for all our KPN TV+ customers,” added Jochem de Jong, VP Partnerships, TV and Entertainment via KPN. “This is an important step in the further expansion of our entertainment offering. The high-quality programming from BBC Studios is a perfect complement to the best TV offering in the Netherlands, available via KPN. Through this collaboration, KPN customers will soon be able to enjoy the best entertainment with the launch of BBC NL+.”
