Sebastiaan Leeman took office as Genre Manager for Fiction at the NPO in April 2025, knowing that budget cuts were inevitable, resulting in a drop in the number of series from fifteen to twelve per year as the organization prioritizes quality over quantity. Broadcasters such as EO and HUMAN are ceasing fiction production, while the NPO remains the largest provider of Dutch-language fiction with twelve series. From 2027, NPO Start will become the primary platform for new fiction, forcing writers to consider the 'watch-through' effect and a distinctive character, as viewers must actively seek out series. Upcoming titles include Grand Hotel aan Zee and De Machine.
