Skam NL

Skam NL (also known as Skam Dutch or Skam Netherlands; often stylized in all caps) is a Dutch teen drama television series based on the Norwegian television series Skam. It was broadcast by NPO 3 from 16 September 2018 to 4 June 2019.

Plot
Skam NL follows the daily life of high school students at St-Gregorius College in Utrecht and the various problems they face. The plot of each season focuses around a different central character and particular themes. Each adaptation of the original series follows a similar storyline, with the first season focusing on Isa Keijser (the counterpart of Skam's Eva Kviig Mohn), and the second on Liv Reijners (the counterpart of Noora Amalie Sætre).

Season 1
Season 1 comprised 11 episodes. Isa Keijser is the central character and the season focuses on her relationship with her boyfriend Kes, as well as themes of loneliness, identity, and friendship.

Season 2
Season 2 comprised 10 episodes. Liv Reijners is the central character and the season focuses on her relationship with Noah, a popular boy at school, and themes of friendship, self-image, and sexual abuse.

Production
In October 2017, The Hollywood Reporter announced that a Dutch adaptation of Skam was in development alongside American, German, French, Spanish, and Italian versions. NTR purchased the remake rights in January 2018. Production for the first season began in July 2018, while the trailer was released in August. A countdown on the series' website revealed the first clip would be released on September 10, 2018, making it the sixth Skam remake to premiere.

In November 2018, the SKAM NL website was updated to confirm a second season. In February 2019, it was confirmed that the second season's first clip would premiere on March 18, and that full episodes would be airing on Tuesdays, a change from the first season, when episodes aired on Sunday nights. An official trailer for the season was released on March 10.

Cancellation
In September 2019, despite the series' popularity, NPO 3 confirmed that the series would not be returning for a third season, citing high production costs.

In 2020, the SKAM NL official Instagram account announced a binge-watching event of the series in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which many fans believed would lead to a revival of the series, but this was not the case. The series remains available to stream on the official SKAM NL YouTube channel with English subtitles, and on the official NPO 3 website.
