Linda de Mol and Tjitske Reidinga on Gooische Vrouwen: 'It keeps getting better'

Actresses Linda de Mol and Tjitske Reidinga discuss the return of the popular series Gooische Vrouwen, which is now in its eighth season. The cast members find their long-standing roles increasingly rewarding as they continue to balance new comedic storylines with the show's enduring themes of friendship.

The popular Dutch series Gooische Vrouwen has returned for an eighth season, featuring the return of lead actresses Linda de Mol and Tjitske Reidinga. In the new episodes, the four friends face fresh challenges, including unexpected childcare responsibilities and new romantic entanglements. De Mol noted that inspiration for the show continues to come from her own life in the Gooi region, including a storyline involving a gardener character based on a local handyman. The cast, who have developed close personal bonds over the last two decades, expressed that playing these familiar characters has become increasingly enjoyable as they have matured.

Despite the long-standing success of the series, which originally ended in 2009 and returned in 2024, the creators are mindful of ending the show while it remains at its peak. While production on a ninth season is already underway, the team remains cautious about longevity to avoid viewer fatigue. The current season is available on Videoland and SBS6.
