Comeback Rumors Surround De TV Kantine
“We can probably laugh our heads off again soon at the nicest characters from De TV Kantine,” Luuk Ikink told mediacourant.nl.
Speculation over a television comeback for the Dutch celebrity-spoof comedy By TV Kantine has intensified after creative partner Herald Adolfs shared a mysterious social media post on Thursday, Nov. 12, 2026. The series ran for twelve seasons before concluding in February 2021, when host Carlo Boszhard placed the format on hiatus because he felt the parody genre needed renewal.
Adolfs posted an image on Instagram featuring the familiar program logo alongside a picture of the RTL Boulevard set, complete with presenters and panelists. The post included no explanatory text, though Kylie Minogue’s track “Lights Camera Action” played in the background, according to mediacourant.nl.
The Response at RTL Boulevard
Staff at the daily entertainment show noticed the image immediately and attempted to contact the creators for clarification. “We have called and no one is reachable, so who knows,” Ikink told mediacourant.nl.
Reporter Aran Bade interpreted the lack of communication as a positive signal for a revival. “Yes, then it’s going to happen,” Bade told mediacourant.nl, while co-host Vivienne van den Assem responded enthusiastically to the prospect.
Neither Boszhard nor Adolfs has officially confirmed a new season or a specific parody project. The original run featured celebrity impressions by performers including Irene Moors and Elise Schaap before leaving the airwaves nearly six years ago.
