Mocro Mafia (Mocro Maffia) (translated)

Mocro Maffia is a Dutch crime drama series that premiered on 11 October 2018 on Videoland, the streaming platform of RTL Nederland. Produced by RTL Productions and filmed in Dutch, the show ran for six seasons and 45 episodes, concluding in November 2024.

Created by Achmed Akkabi and Thijs Römer, the series adapts the book of the same name by journalists Wouter Laumans and Marijn Schrijver and draws on real events surrounding the organised drug-crime network known as the "Mocro Maffia" in the Netherlands and Belgium. Directing duties were shared by Bobby Boermans, Giancarlo Sanchez and Victor Ponten.

At its centre are three childhood friends — Romano, Potlood and De Paus — who leap from petty crime to seizing control of Amsterdam's cocaine trade in record time, until jealousy and betrayal turn their bond into a bloody war. The first season also follows a journalist investigating the wave of killings sweeping the Dutch capital as the cocaine conflict escalates.

In the Netherlands the series drew criticism for hewing closely to real cases at the expense of victims' families, yet audiences praised its acting, direction and writing. Internationally, it reached Germany via Joyn from November 2019 and France on Série Club from February 2021.
