The successful EO drama series 'Van Gogh; een huis voor Vincent' has been sold to seven countries by producer Endemol Nederland and the Dutch film sales agent Dutch Features Global Entertainment. The originally four-part series will soon be shown in South Korea, Germany, Italy, former Yugoslavia, Slovenia, Lithuania, and Taiwan.

Other countries are also showing great interest in the drama series during MIPTV, which the EO broadcast in March and April 2013 and managed to captivate over one million viewers weekly. The format in which the series will be shown in the various countries will differ per country: in South Korea, the series will be screened as a 100-minute feature film in film theaters, while former Yugoslavia and Slovenia will broadcast the series on television in four parts.

'Van Gogh: A Home for Vincent' tells the story of perhaps the Netherlands' most famous painter: Vincent van Gogh (portrayed by Barry Atsma). Although Van Gogh now enjoys worldwide fame, his life was full of struggle and wanderings. The drama series also follows the story of his nephew and sole heir, Vincent Willem (played by Jeroen Krabbé). Almost 70 years after the death of his famous uncle, Vincent Willem grapples with the burden of his legacy: the Van Gogh collection. A collection that eventually finds a home.
