A Brabant nobody with a talent for talking his way out of trouble becomes the drug lord viewers first met in Undercover — this series tells how he got there.
What is Ferry: The Series about?
Ferry: The Series traces the rise of Ferry Bouman through the criminal underbelly of southern Netherlands and Belgium, years before he became the notorious figure at the center of Undercover. Rather than open with power already secured, the show follows a smaller, hungrier version of the man: someone still climbing, still making the alliances and enemies that will define him. Across ten episodes the story moves through the ranks of a regional drug trade, tracking how obscurity gives way to reputation and how each deal, betrayal, and near-miss pushes Ferry closer to the man the earlier series introduced. The tone leans hard into crime-thriller territory — tense negotiations, sudden violence, and a protagonist whose charm is inseparable from his ruthlessness.
About the cast
Frank Lammers returns to the role of Ferry Bouman, joined by Elise Schaap, Raymond Thiry, and Monic Hendrickx among a cast that spans the Dutch and Belgian crime-drama circuit, including Tygo Gernandt and Huub Smit in supporting turns.
Context & significance
The series functions as a prequel, filling in the criminal education of a character audiences already knew from Undercover. Setting the story in Brabant's drug-trafficking underworld gives it a specific regional texture rather than a generic crime backdrop, and the writing leans on that setting for both plot mechanics and atmosphere.
