Welcome to Global Breakouts, Deadline’s fortnightly strand in which we shine a spotlight on the TV shows and films killing it in their local territories. The industry is as globalized as it’s ever been, but breakout hits are appearing in pockets of the world all the time and it can be hard to keep track… So we’re going to do the hard work for you.
This week, we head to the Netherlands, birthplace of Big Brother, The Voice and The Traitors, for a nostalgia format that appeals to both old and young. Don’t Stop the Music whet buyers’ appetites at the recent, formats-dominated Mip TV market and is a buzzy, authentic series that dances to its own tune, demonstrating the best traits of a nation that has over the decades become an entertainment TV powerhouse.

Be in no doubt about it, the Netherlands is the land of formats. Buyers from across the globe are constantly looking to the Western European nation for the next big hit — after all, it has already spawned the likes of Big Brother, The Voice, and, most recently, The Traitors. The latter has given the formats genre a much-needed shot in the arm, becoming a hit in the U.S., UK, Australia and France.
Don’t Stop the Music is the next one to watch. It launched on Dutch public broadcaster NPO3 last month and has been pulling in top ratings across linear and digital since.
Produced by Pants on Fire indie CCCP and distributed by Newen Connect, the series taps into buyers’ growing penchant for nostalgia formats. It cleverly manipulates the sub-genre to both take advantage of one generation’s nostalgic memories while creating them for a younger one.

Given the U.K. reception to Australian series “Colin From Accounts” — which was acquired by the BBC in one of its smartest deals in years — that honor will likely go to Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall, the real-life partners who created and star in the half-hour rom-com.
