Banijay Unveils Dutch Drama Bonnie & Clyde

Bonnie & Clyde, the first drama series commission from the rebranded Dutch label Banijay Benelux Scripted, formerly known as EndemolShine Scripted, is in the works for the local streamer Videoland.

A four-part miniseries, Bonnie & Clyde tells the story of two young lovers and their violent quest for freedom. The narrative is inspired by a “Bonnie and Clyde” story in the press that captivated the Netherlands in February 2014.

In the series, Esra Kaplan decides not to return to juvenile detention after a leave visit to her Turkish family and goes on the run with her boyfriend, Greg Driessen. With their crimes going from bad to worse, they become known as the “Bonnie and Clyde of the Low Countries.”

Bonnie & Clyde is co-produced by Totem Media and is distributed globally by Banijay Rights.

Gerd-Jan van Dalen, producer at Banijay Benelux Scripted, said: “Everyone in the Netherlands was gripped with this original, unpredictable tale. Inspired by the real-life events, and with true-crime stories becoming increasingly popular, we believe viewers will feel the suspense in this drama like never before. With Banijay Rights distributing the title, we’re excited to launch the show to a global audience.”
