Antoinette Beumer, Director of Series for Benelux at Netflix: "We are excited to announce the first series from our creative partnership deal with Nico Moolenaar: Amsterdam Empire.

Having Famke Janssen on board as Betty is an absolute honour, and we look forward to seeing the incredible impact she'll bring to this role and the series."

"It has been a long-time ambition to bring our national treasure, Famke Janssen, back to the Netherlands to see her act in a Dutch production for the first time in her illustrious career. Betty was written with Famke in mind, and I am thrilled that she's willing to embark on this adventure with us." said creator and executive producer, Nico Moolenaar. "After spending years in the world of Ferry Bouman, it is exciting to create a new universe. As always, I do this with my regular partners in crime, Piet Matthys and Bart Uytdenhouwen, on my side. I am privileged to add the wonderfully talented Jonas Govaerts to the team. Please stay tuned for more updates as we assemble a stellar cast and crew."
