That reports Het Algemeen Dagblad. “Behind the scenes, it is being examined in what form the program can make a restart,” according to sources. “With Johan Derksen.”

Last Tuesday evening, Johan Derksen confessed in the SBS6 program ‘Vandaag inside’ that he had assaulted a woman with a candle fifty years ago. His statements immediately sparked a heavy public discussion in the Netherlands (and beyond) and on Thursday Derksen stated that he immediately stopped the talk show. “The cancel and woke culture is big and against us,” he said. “It is a powerful movement that is getting bigger and worse. The only independent program has now fallen to pieces. I can no longer enjoy sitting here. I am done.”
When the other two guests, René van der Gijp and Wilfred Genee, also announced that they did not want to continue, the program was immediately canceled. A decision that ensured that channel SBS6 in one day lost one million viewers.
But now “sources around the program” report to Het Algemeen Dagblad that a return to the screen is possible after all. In what form that will happen, and when, that is still being looked at, it is said. But apparently there is “behind the scenes” hard work on the return of all the protagonists. So also from Derksen.
