The Dutch Royal Family will be depicted in a brand new TV series, very similar to the popular Netflix show The Crown.
The Crown, which focuses on Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the British Royal Family, is coming to an end later this year, but this new drama about King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima will likely fill the gap for eager royal fans.
The King and Queen of the Netherlands' love story is being turned into a six-part series.
New images of the production have just been released, as well as a teaser trailer.
