After his wife cheats on him with his superior, Detective Chief Superintendent Witse leaves Brussels to start a new life in Halle. His idiosyncratic character and investigative technique often cause clashes with his new colleagues.
Quirky and determined, Witse gets presented with the most diverse murder cases. He and his team of detectives and officers from the homicide squad of the Federal Criminal Investigation Service, do whatever it takes to solve these crimes… Sometimes with greater personal fallout than anticipated.
‘Witse’ was one of the best viewed TV programmes in Flanders with an average audience of more than 1,500,000 viewers and a 58% market share. The Netherlands (AVROTROS) licensed all 9 seasons, the ratings and feedback there were great.
In 2014, a few years after the last broadcast, a feature film version 'W.' was produced. This stilled the hunger of ‘Witse’ fans and rounded off the series nicely.
