Football Parents OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Ilse Warringa & Eva van Gessel¡¯s comedy series online

Football Parents OTT Release Date: If you¡¯ve ever stood on the sidelines of a kids¡¯ football match and watched the parents go through more drama than the players on the field, this is the show for you. Dropping exclusively on Netflix from May 16, Football Parents is a Dutch comedy series that dives headfirst into the over-the-top world of competitive football moms and dads, the kind who shout louder than the coach and take snacks more seriously than strategy.

What¡¯s Football Parents all about?

Created, written, and directed by Ilse Warringa (best known for De Luizenmoeder), Football Parents perfectly captures the chaos, competition, and cringe-worthy behavior that goes hand in hand with youth sports. At the heart of the show is Lilian, a mother who enrolls her son Levi into a new football team, hoping for a fresh start. But what she didn¡¯t expect was to enter a tightly-knit circle of ¡°football parents¡± who take sideline drama to a whole new level.

Leading the pack is Marenka (played by Eva van Gessel), the overly enthusiastic team coordinator who thinks running a kids' team is a full-time job. Lilian tries to distance herself, but Levi is happy with his new team and even makes friends with Vito, Marenka¡¯s quirky, unpredictable son. As Lilian tries to find her way through the web of cliques, rivalries, and coffee-fueled chaos, she realizes that escaping the madness won¡¯t be as easy as she thought.

Why should you watch Football Parents?

Football Parents is more about people over just sports, basically how far they¡¯ll go for their kids, how their competitive spirit plays out in weekend matches, and how a seemingly simple football club becomes the stage for social power plays, friendships, and small-town politics. Think of it as a Dutch version of Bad Moms, but on a football field with raincoats and thermos flasks.

The cast also includes a mix of popular Dutch talent, including Mariana Aparicio, Michiel Nooter, Edwin Jonker, Bas Hoeflaak, Guido Pollemans, Leonoor Koster, Arnoud Bos, Nyncke Beekhuyzen, Gurkan K¨¹?¨¹ksent¨¹rk, Evrim Akyigit, Rian Gerritsen, Steef Cuijpers and Ren¨¦ van ¡®t Hof, among others. Directed by Ilse and Albert Jan Van Rees, Football Parents is produced by Hollands Licht.
