Arjen Lubach extends RTL contract until end of 2029

Arjen Lubach has extended his contract with RTL until the end of 2029, keeping the presenter and comedian at the Dutch broadcaster for the next few years.

RTL announced the deal on Wednesday. Content director Peter Lubbers said he was delighted Lubach would remain, adding that the presenter and his team had quickly found their place at RTL and its streaming service Videoland.

Lubach called the extension “a crowning achievement for all the hard work” and said he was proud of his team and what they had accomplished. He moved from Dutch public broadcaster VPRO to RTL in late 2024, and his satirical programme LUBACH began there in February 2025.

In recent months he has also presented Taskmaster. A second season of the programme is due next year.
