Máxima producer working on feature film about Princess Beatrix

Production company Millstreet Films is developing a new feature film documenting the life and reign of Princess Beatrix. The movie will examine her influential role in modernizing the Dutch monarchy during her thirty-year tenure as Queen.

Millstreet Films, the production company behind the popular Maxima series, has announced it is developing a feature film focused on the life of Princess Beatrix. The project aims to chronicle the tenure of the former monarch, who spent over three decades on the throne during an era of significant social transformation in the Netherlands. The film will explore her role in shaping the modern identity of the Dutch royal institution.

While production plans have been confirmed, casting for the lead role remains undecided. Previously, actress Elsie de Brauw portrayed Beatrix in the Maxima series and is set to reprise her role for the upcoming third season. This new film is part of a broader expansion of royal-themed content, which also includes the 2027 debut of a spin-off series centered on Mabel and Margarita. No release date for the feature film has been announced yet.
