Fiction Valley Ties Up with Pieter Bart Korthuis

Fiction Valley has entered into a three-year deal with the Dutch screenwriter and director Pieter Bart Korthuis.

The agreement will see the Fremantle-owned production company develop and produce a slate of new scripted drama series in partnership with Korthuis. Most recently, Korthuis collaborated with Annemieke van Vliet and Fiction Valley as the creator and showrunner on the hit Netflix original series Dirty Lines.

Korthuis said: “Fiction Valley has proven to be a company that puts talent first. It was because of the support of Annemieke van Vliet that I felt confident enough to develop such a challenging and fun show like Dirty Lines. I’m looking forward to continuing working with her and her team to create exciting new projects for the Dutch and international market.”

Fiction Valley Creative Director van Vliet said: “Having worked with Pieter Bart Korthuis on Dirty Lines and other series, we are looking forward to this creative partnership. Pieter’s extraordinary talent as creator, writer, director and showrunner is unique and beyond limits. It’s an honor that he’ll be joining forces with Fiction Valley for the next three years.”
