Dutch Adaptation for Amazon’s Modern Love

Prime Video has ordered a Dutch adaptation of the Amazon original series Modern Love, with stories that take place in Amsterdam.

Based on the popular New York Times column, each episode features a different story about love and relationships. For the Dutch Modern Love series, leading directors and writers have collaborated.

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.

“Modern Love Amsterdam is the series we wanted to make right now,” said Jacomien Nijhof, head of Netherlands originals at Amazon Studios. “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. 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 at Amazon Studios. “We are very excited to give a unique Dutch perspective to this format for our Dutch and international viewers.”
