From the prestigious Cannes, Delfina Chaves and Martijn Lakemeier take us on this exciting day.
Today is a special day for Delfina Chaves and Martijn Lakemeier. The protagonists of the new Videoland series about our queen are at the Cannes International Series Festival. Máxima will premiere there today.
International success
In the Netherlands we have been looking forward to the long-awaited series Máxima for months, but it was recently announced that there is also great international interest in the Videoland Original. Máxima has been purchased by Warner Media for the streaming platform Max in Latin America. In addition, the series has been sold to Israel’s Hot, the Croatian HRT, ORF for Austria, LV1 in Latvia, and to Slovakia.
Cannes
And as if that international success wasn’t enough, Videoland announced even more exciting news about the series last month. “The high-end drama series Máxima has been selected for the prestigious Canneseries,” the streaming service announced at the time. Indeed, Cannes: the jet set resort just a stone’s throw from Monaco, where all the Hollywood bigwigs gather annually for the film festival and we can then enjoy the glamor on the red carpet from a distance. However, for several years now the town has also had a series festival, under the name Canneseries. Here the crème de la crème of the television world is once again put in the spotlight.
Dream
Today that Cannes dream came true for Delfina Chaves and Martijn Lakemeier. “A huge surprise too, because we only heard a few weeks ago that the series would be shown here,” Martijn told ANP from France. “I really jumped for a moment then. It is a very nice recognition for the series and a reward for the entire team that worked so hard on it.”
Delfina, who takes on the role of Máxima Zorreguieta, also cannot believe her luck now that she is about to experience the world premiere in Cannes. “It’s really crazy. I also have to constantly pinch myself to check whether what is happening is really real,” she says. “It’s a madhouse, but the people are so very nice. A dream comes true!” Last Sunday she saw herself in cinema format for the first time. “I will never get used to seeing my head so big on screen,” says a laughing Delfina.
Love couple
The fact that Delfina and Martijn no longer only play a couple in love, but also are one, makes this day extra special. “We have a lot of fun together, so it is also very nice to experience this together in Cannes,” says Martijn. What the future will look like for the lovebirds remains to be seen. “We just take it as it all comes.”
