BBC Studios is rebranding its BBC First drama channel in Belgium as it looks to build on its success with Flemish audiences.
The service will continue to deliver drama and light crime, curated for Flemish audiences and fully localized with Dutch subtitles.
Bram Husken, SVP and GM for Benelux and Nordics at BBC Studios, said: “Rebranding the channel to BBC Belgium allows us to better reflect our loyal Belgian audience and our commitment to bringing exceptional British stories to the region. For over a decade, our handpicked stories have been starting conversations and changing perspectives. Our new identity will help to deepen our growing connection with fans of the best British content.”
At launch, the channel will feature properties like Wild Cherry, season three of The Marlow Murder Club, season 15 of Call the Midwife, Lynley and more. BBC Belgium will officially launch in May.
