Etty

Etty is a television series set to premiere on May 13, 2026. The story centers on Etty Hillesum, who was 27 years old when she began keeping the diaries that form the basis of the narrative. The setting is Nazi-occupied Amsterdam, and the series follows her emotional and spiritual development as recorded in those writings. Central to the drama is her relationship with Julius Spier, a psycho-chirologist whose involvement with Hillesum functions as a catalyst for a significant inner transformation. That transformation unfolds against the escalating dangers she faces as a Jewish woman living under occupation. The arc of the series moves toward what the source material describes as an act of solidarity of considerable personal cost.
