‘Amsterdam Empire’: Famke Janssen On Her Wild Weed Fueled Netflix Crime Series, Netherlands, & Why She’s Not In ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ [Bingeworthy Podcast] —
Crime, corruption, and a phoenix-like comeback collide in the heart of Amsterdam’s weed underworld. Netflix’s “Amsterdam Empire” is a pulpy, fun new crime series set in Amsterdam’s glamorous and dangerous weed industry, where revenge and reinvention go hand in hand. The show follows Betty, a former pop star played by Famke Janssen, whose crumbling marriage to the owner of a Marijuana shop empire known as “The Jackal” sparks a battle that pulls in gangsters, police, and lovers. Weed may be legal to smoke in the Netherlands, but growing it is not, and the family’s illegal grow operations soon attract unwanted attention from rival factions and law enforcement alike.
Joining Bingeworthy for this episode is Famke Janssen, who not only stars as Betty but also serves as executive producer and co-costume designer. The series also marks her first time performing in her native Dutch language. She describes the experience as both nerve-wracking and exhilarating.
