Overview
- The 10-episode short-form series stars Dutch historical investigator Corjan Mol, who is digitally placed into past events tied to notable streets and squares.
- Each episode blends present-day location filming with AI-created reconstructions built from archival materials such as paintings, engravings and photographs.
- Planned stories include Amsterdam’s Rokin, linked to the world’s first stock exchange, and Utrecht’s Janskerkhof, associated with Dutch Resistance activity in World War II.
- Hearst says it will apply clear guardrails and transparency around AI-generated content, with release slated for January on the channel, its on-demand services and major social platforms.
- Founder Eline van der Velden describes the show as Particle6’s first major on-screen AI deployment following earlier attention over the synthetic character Tilly Norwood.
