Netflix has released the teaser and trailer for its upcoming series, Amsterdam Empire, which is set to premiere on October 30, 2025. The show stars Famke Janssen in her debut role in a Dutch production, where she also serves as executive producer.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Amsterdam’s cannabis scene, this lavish crime drama promises a captivating blend of glamour and grit.

The series is created by Nico Moolenaar, Bart Uytdenhouwen, and Piet Matthys, the acclaimed team behind the hit shows Undercover and Ferry.

In the series, Jack van Doorn is a rich and notorious founder of the coffee shop empire Jackal. He has had to fight his entire career against criminals, competitors, and absurd Dutch laws to become the biggest of them all.

When his affair with a well-known journalist comes to light, it turns out that his most dangerous enemy has been living under his roof all this time: his betrayed wife, Betty (Famke Janssen), an ex-pop diva who knows all his weak spots and secrets and will not rest until she has taken everything from him.

Directed by Jonas Govaerts and Max Porcelijn, Amsterdam Empire is an extravagant crime drama full of glamour and grime at the heart of the Amsterdam cannabis scene.

Famke Janssen and Nico Moolenaar are the executive producers of the series, which is produced by Pupkin and Sander van Meurs. It is co-produced by A Team Productions.
