Canneseries Adds ‘Maxima,’ the Dutch Royal Drama From Beta Film, Millstreet Films


The six-part series, starring Delfina Chaves and adapted from the biography by Marica Luyten, follows the Queen through her most formative years.

Germany’s Beta Film(“Babylon Berlin”) sets its sights on the Croisette for the world premiere of Dutch Royal drama “Máxima,” selected to screen out-of-competition at Canneseries on April 9. Directed by Saskia Diesing alongside Joosje Duk and Iván López Núñez, the script was adapted by Marnie Blok, Ilse Ott, Judith Goudsmit, Diede Zillinger Molenaar, Sytske Kok and Marcela Guerty from the biography ‘Máxima Zorreguieta: Motherland,’ written by Dutch journalist Marica Luyten and published by De Bezige Bij. Sebastian Koch (“The Lives of Others”), Elsie de Brauw (“The Death of My Mother”), Valeria Alonso (“Tell Me Who I Am”), Daniel Freire (“Sex and Lucía”) and Ivan Lapadula (“Dos Vidas”) round out the ensemble cast.
