International sales company Dutch CORE is heading to MIPCOM 2026 with a diverse slate of Dutch and Flemish programming spanning investigative factual, historical drama, scripted series, youth and children’s content.
The new line-up includes investigative documentary series The Drug Delta: The Road to a Narco State, historical docudrama The Great Offensive, vertical microdrama My Last Summer and coming-of-age film King of the Wanderers. They join titles including Don’t Fall, Dance, Freek of Nature, KABAM!, Those Left Behind and The Class of 2000.
From Organised Crime to Coming-of-Age Stories
The Drug Delta: The Road to a Narco State sees investigative journalists Sinan Can and Rudi Vranckx examine organised crime networks connecting South American cartels with European ports, exploring their impact on security, youth recruitment and democratic institutions.
Historical docudrama The Great Offensive revisits the Allied liberation of Western Europe during World War II, focusing on the rivalry between General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery. The three-part series combines dramatic reconstructions with archival footage.
On the scripted side, Don’t Fall, Dance approaches cancer and mental health through the story of Emma, a young woman whose determination to live life to the fullest is challenged when her illness returns.
Youth title My Last Summer explores cancer, first love and a summer crush through a vertical, digital-first format. The series has generated 15 million views across YouTube and TikTok in the Netherlands.
King of the Wanderers follows 11-year-old Meissy as she reconnects with her father and begins questioning his belief that he is a king. The 90-minute film explores mental health from a child’s perspective and won the Grand Prix at Kinolub before premiering at Cinekid.
Also part of the youth slate are International Emmy-nominated titles The Class of 2000 and Those Left Behind. The former explores identity, friendship, first love and peer pressure against a Y2K backdrop, while the latter follows 11-year-old Sven after financial difficulties force his family to cancel their holiday.
Children’s Slate
Dutch CORE’s children’s line-up includes Freek of Nature, following biologist Professor Freek Vonk on wildlife adventures around the world. The series has more than 40 episodes available and was recently sold to PTS Taiwan.
International Emmy-winning preschool drama KABAM! explores childhood fears through ten stories set around Mr Mo’s class. Season 2 will open at Cinekid Festival in October and has been presold to DR Denmark.
Animated preschool series Ellie the Ellie focuses on inclusion and friendship, following Ellie as she helps friends who feel left out. The series has been sold to VRT, SVT and HOP TV.
“We’re looking for stories that have a clear reason to exist,” said Lorraine Joore, Senior Sales Executive at Dutch CORE. “What connects the titles on our MIPCOM slate is that they start with strong stories and distinctive perspectives but are made to travel.”
Dutch CORE will present its latest slate at MIPCOM 2026 in Cannes.
