This is what Saskia Noort earns from Netflix success The Dinner Club
I have an enormous evangelistic drive when I like something. Current obsession: The Eetclub. I think it’s such a well-made series in every way: the script, the three timelines in which it is told (present, past, and the interrogation line), the styling, the locations, the direction, and the actors. How wonderful it must be for Saskia Noort that a book she wrote 22 years ago is blooming again.
What did Saskia Noort think of the earlier adaptation of her book?
Many people are curious about what Saskia Noort thinks is better about this series. Anyway, a satisfied writer, because the film version of her book did not appeal to her at the time. The characters were too flat, it lacked the nuance of the book. But she found the series amazing, and it immediately gave a boost to the sales of her novel from 2004.

WATCH VIDEOHow much has Saskia Noort earned from the book The Eetclub?
She must have earned at least a million from the book itself, as more than 700,000 copies have been sold, and due to this Netflix effect, a few thousand more books will likely be added. The book has already been translated into German, English, and French, and since the series is available in 54 countries, the translated version of the book will also receive fresh attention there.
What does the Netflix series bring Saskia Noort extra?
Furthermore, an author of Netflix generally receives an amount to adapt a book into a series. When the series goes into production, an additional amount is added, and there will undoubtedly be a bonus scheme linked to it if the series is a success. So that is a lovely extra for Saskia Noort.
Is there going to be a second season of De Eetclub?
What further occupies the minds of those who have devoured the series is the question: is there going to be a part two? Because Saskia Noort has indeed written a sequel to De Eetclub, so the blueprint for a new series is there. And let me tell you, I listened to a podcast, The Bigger Picture, where the two writers were speaking, and I picked up quite a big hint there. Anyway, just take a look at this video.
Have a great weekend, and if you haven't watched De Eetclub yet: tonight. Do it.
