Tatjana Šimić is set to return next month as Kees Flodder, reviving the iconic role that made her a household name in the Netherlands. The 62-year-old actress will reprise her beloved character in an upcoming spin-off series premiering on Videoland, marking her first return to the Flodder universe in years.
The new series, titled simply Kees Flodder, is scheduled to debut on May 9, 2026, following filming that wrapped recently in Sittard. Production sources confirm the spin-off will premiere on Videoland, continuing the legacy of the long-running Dutch comedy franchise that began with the 1986 film Flodder.
Šimić’s return comes amid renewed interest in the Flodder saga, with Videoland announcing the spin-off’s launch date earlier this year. The streaming platform has positioned the series as a major addition to its 2026 slate, tapping into nostalgia even as introducing the chaotic Flodder family to a new generation.
Joining Šimić in the revived cast is Gover Meit, best known as a revelation from the Dutch quiz show De Slimste Mens, who has been cast in a guest role. Meit’s involvement adds a fresh dynamic to the ensemble, blending his comedic timing with the series’ signature irreverent humor.
The announcement of the new cast and premiere date follows months of speculation after initial reports surfaced about a Flodder revival. With filming completed in Sittard and post-production underway, the spin-off is now poised for its May 2026 debut, promising fans the same blend of satire, heart, and household chaos that defined the original.
As one of the Netherlands’ most enduring pop-culture exports, the Flodder franchise continues to evolve — and with Šimić back at the helm as Kees, the spirit of the antisocial yet endearing matriarch remains very much alive.
