The new BNNVARA youth series *Taakstraf* follows Donny, Tess, Kyara, Younes, and Barry—five vastly different young people who must complete their community service together during the school holidays. Under the supervision of the clumsy work coordinator Sam, they work in the most unexpected places. From a dog shelter to a hospital, a farm, a food bank, and a music festival, even the simplest task invariably descends into total chaos... The series is not just about the punishment itself, but above all about the young people serving it. Along the way, the circumstances, home situations, and choices that led to their community service are revealed. In doing so, the series shows that a first impression rarely tells the whole story.
Directed by —, Taakstraf leans on a strong ensemble — Mark Werkhoven, Kes van den Broek, Esther Mbire — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2026.
