New Dutch Original for Netflix Dirty Lines has started in Amsterdam.
The series is made in collaboration with Fiction Valley and inspired by Fred Saueressig’s book
06-Cowboys, about the rise of telephone sex lines in the late 1980s. It centers on psychology student Marly Salomon, who takes a side job working for a new firm, Teledutch, a company started by brothers Frank and Ramon Stigter, who established Europe’s first erotic telephone lines.
The series is created by Pieter Bart Korthuis and directed together with Tomas Kaan and Anna van der Heide.

Korthuis said: “Amsterdam is a lot more modern today than it was 30 years ago, so it is quite challenging to find the right streets and houses to match the look and feel of the 1980s. It is amazing how our creative teams have managed to recreate the city that I remember from my youth.
