Netflix orders Dirty Lines, a Dutch original series on 1980s exotic phone lines
-
The Amsterdam-set Dirty Lines is inspired by Fred Saueressig’s book 06-Cowboys, about young businessman Frank Stigter setting up Europe’s first phone sex line, sparking what would become a multimillion dollar industry. Dirty Lines will be written by Pieter Bart Korthuis. “We have been excited to tell a surprising story that combines elements of Amsterdam we have seen before but is told from an angle that is new to many," says Netflix's Tesha Crawford.
