Netflix has got the global rights to debut the Flemish-language teen drama series Knokke Off (which they’ve labeled as High Tides) and is set to debut the new show on December 7th, 2023.
All ten episodes from the first season will debut on Netflix as an original title on December 7th, with the series first debuting on local streamer VRT Max between May and June of this year.
Created by Anthony Van Biervliet, the show follows a group of teenagers spending summer in a seaside town looking for love, friendship, and finding themselves. Think Outer Banks meets Surviving Summer.
The cast for the series includes Pommelien Thijs, Willem De Schryver, Eliyha Altena, Ruth Becquart, Geert Van Rampelberg, and Jasmine Sendar.
This is the latest Flemish language show to join Netflix, following a few others Netflix has acquired over the years. Other Flemish language shows on Netflix include Undercover, Rough Diamonds, and Taco Chronicles. Tabula Rasa was among Netflix’s Flemish roster but departed in April.
Netflix will have several dubs and subtitle options available, including the original Flemish language option with a Closed caption option. The series will also be available with an English dub and dubs for French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish.
