Netflix is losing an original crime drama series with 100% on Rotten Tomatoes next week — now's the time to binge-watch
Netflix has confirmed that it's removing 'The Twelve' (original title: 'De Twaalf') on July 9, so if you've never seen this haunting Belgian crime drama, now is the perfect time to stream all 10 episodes before it vanishes from the platform. This Belgian series first aired on the network Eén in November 2019 and later caught the attention of global audiences when Netflix picked up the international streaming rights. It landed on the platform in July 2020 under the 'Netflix original' banner, though Netflix didn't produce the show itself. The story centers on the trial of a school principal accused of two separate murders, but the real brilliance lies in the twelve jurors. Each episode digs into their personal lives, traumas, and secrets, peeling back the layers to reveal how private struggles quietly shape public judgment. It's also important not to confuse this original series with the 2022 Australian remake starring Sam Neill, which adapted the same premise but with a different tone and setting. The Belgian version remains the more grounded and emotionally layered of the two. If you're a fan of character-driven dramas that leave you questioning what justice really looks like, 'The Twelve' is well worth your time. Here's everything to know before adding it to your Netflix watchlist. 'The Twelve' follows the trial of Frie Palmers (Maaike Cafmeyer), a respected school principal accused of two separate murders — her best friend almost twenty years ago, and her young daughter more recently. The case draws twelve jurors who must decide her fate, but the series is just as interested in them as it is in the crime itself. While courtroom proceedings take center stage, the story branches into each juror's personal life, revealing fractured families, strained relationships, and long-buried secrets over 10 episodes. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Testimony and evidence steadily reshape how each juror views the trial. Their decisions are shaped not only by what they hear in court but by the quiet chaos unfolding in their own lives. The show moves between legal drama and intimate character study, building toward a verdict influenced by far more than just the facts. 'The Twelve' offers a unique perspective on the criminal justice system by focusing on the lives of the jurors themselves. As the trial unfolds, viewers gain insight into how each juror's personal experiences and prejudices influence their interpretation of the evidence against Frie and their ultimate judgment of her guilt or innocence. Creators Sanne Nuyens and Bert Van Dael present a complex, layered narrative here. The two murders Frie faces trial for are separated by 16 years and appear unrelated at first, with Frie seemingly innocent in both cases. However, the jury must weigh evidence spanning these two crimes amid Frie's troubled past. Exploring the jurors' personal lives proves just as compelling. The series focuses on the events and experiences that shaped their perspectives on the case, despite their promises to remain unbiased. Bias exists within everyone's worldview, no matter how hard they try to stay neutral, and witnessing how it influences their interpretation of the evidence makes for a captivating aspect of the story. If you're not a fan of slow-burn dramas, 'The Twelve' might not be for you, since the story takes place over 10 episodes and the most gripping moments don't really arrive until the final few installments. It's designed to keep you hooked all the way through. That said, this crime drama can still make for an engaging binge-watch. It earned a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes (though that's based on just five reviews), while audiences gave it a 68% rating. Even though it's lower, that score still qualifies the series as 'fresh.' Hannah Brown from Jerusalem Post said: 'The Twelve passed my ultimate streaming test: More than 15 minutes passed before I checked the time. If I get completely absorbed in a drama for more than 10 minutes, that's a very good sign.' Meanwhile, Decider's Joel Keller stated: 'Good performances and a layered, unique approach elevates The Twelve above most court dramas.' While 'The Twelve' may not be packed with constant twists or headline-grabbing stars, it still stands out for its unique approach to courtroom storytelling. With all 10 episodes set to leave Netflix U.S. on July 9, now is the perfect time to delve in before it disappears. Stream 'The Twelve' on Netflix now or see what's new on the streamer in July 2025.

Belgium's Prince Emmanuel, 19, revealed to have secret music career as DJ Vyntrix
The Fresh Prince of Bel-gium! Belgium's Prince Emmanuel has quietly launched a successful career as a disc jockey under the stage name DJ Vyntrix. The 19-year-old, who is the youngest son of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, has been spinning decks in his free time — and even released a handful of dance tracks in recent weeks, local outlet Het Laatste Nieuws reports. Advertisement 5 Belgium's Prince Emmanuel has quietly launched a successful career as a DJ under the stage name DJ Vyntrix. BELGA MAG/AFP via Getty Images Emmanuel's DJ Instagram account has surged past 10,000 followers since his secret career came to light. Last month, the young royal surprised fans with two track drops, releasing upbeat tune 'Rio' on June 16, followed by the aptly-named track, 'Palace.' Advertisement The songs credit Emmanuel de Saxe as the composer, which is a nod to Emmanuel's full name Emmanuel of Saxe-Coburg — as well as his hidden talent as a saxophonist. The teen, who is third in line to the Belgian throne, was recently able to showcase his musical offerings during a summer garden party the Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg hosted at Berg Castle. 5 The 19-year-old, who is the youngest son of King Philippe and Queen Mathilde, has been spinning decks in his free time. @ The Grand Duke Henri has been throwing a series of fun soirees ahead of his abdication in October. His eldest son, Guillaume, will take over the throne. Advertisement The Belgian royals boast a close friendship with Luxembourg's royal family. Grand Duke Henri's mother, Josephine-Charlotte, was the sister of Emmanuel's grandfather, King Albert II of Belgium. 5 The young royal has released a handful of dance tracks in recent weeks. @ Emmanuel, for his part, spent a lot of his childhood surrounded by his Luxembourgish relatives. Advertisement Outside of his musical interests, the teen — who is fluent in French, Dutch, and English — boasts an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program, which is comparable to a combination of demanding coursework and AP exams. The prince learned Dutch at the Eureka School in Leuven, Belgium. After successfully completing the course, he is now 'following a language and sports training at an academy abroad,' according to the royal website. 'Emmanuel loves nature and practices the following sports: skiing, tennis, windsurfing and running. He also plays the saxophone,' the site adds. 5 King Philippe and Queen Mathilde with their four children: Princess Eleonore, Prince Gabriel, Princess Elisabeth and Prince Emmanuel.

Last year, the teen spent time in Spain training to compete at the highest level of men's professional soccer, known as La Liga or the Primera División, HLN reported. And it looks as though brains run in the family, as Emmanuel's older sister, Princess Elisabeth, is currently enrolled at Harvard University. Advertisement The 23-year-old royal has just wrapped up her first year at the Ivy League school — and recently faced uncertainty after getting caught in the crossfire of President Trump's showdown with the prestigious Ivy League college. Elisabeth, who also goes by the title of Duchess of Brabant in her home country, was at the risk of being sent back to Belgium as part of Trump's crackdown on international students, which was blocked by a federal judge last month. 5 The teen, who is third in line to the Belgian throne, is fluent in French, Dutch, and English. Getty Images Advertisement The princess is the heir to the Belgian throne, being the eldest of four children born to King Philippe and Queen Mathilde. Before enrolling at Harvard, Elisabeth earned a history and politics degree from the University of Oxford in England.

Cardi B Earns Her Biggest Hit In Years As She Preps Her New Album
Cardi B's 'Outside' debuts at No. 15 on the U.K. Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart, marking her ... More biggest launch in years as she preps new album Am I the Drama? PARIS, FRANCE - SEPTEMBER 26: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY - For Non-Editorial use please seek approval from Fashion House) Cardi B attends the Mugler Womenswear Spring-Summer 2025 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on September 26, 2024 in Paris, France. (Photo by Pascal) For years, Cardi B has been teasing her sophomore album and promoting it with single after single. The hip-hop superstar has scored multiple huge chart wins with both her own tracks and a variety of collaborations, but for quite a while, there was no word about a full-length. Now, the rapper has finally revealed that Am I the Drama? is set to arrive in mid-September, more than seven years after her debut full-length Invasion of Privacy took over the world. Cardi's latest single 'Outside' brings her back to the charts in the United Kingdom and earns the rapper the biggest hit she has managed in that nation in years. 'Outside' Debuts on Four U.K. Charts 'Outside' debuts on four rankings in the U.K. this week, earning its loftiest starting point on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. On that tally, Cardi launches her latest tune at No. 15, scoring the third-highest-ranking debut. This frame, the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles list is dominated by 'Victory Lab,' a collaboration between Fred Again, Skepta, and Plaqueboymax, which opens in first place. Central Cee and Sexyy Red start 'Guilt Trippin'' at No. 8. Cardi B Charts Higher Than She Has in Years Despite being one of the most successful hip-hop musicians of the last decade or so, Cardi has not appeared as high as No. 15 on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart for several years. The last time she lifted to a higher spot was in June 2021. Four years ago, her smash 'Up' – which is set to be featured on Am I the Drama? – climbed as high as No. 7 and spent months living above the No. 15 position where 'Outside' begins its journey. 'Outside' Reaches Multiple Tallies 'Outside' also launches inside the top 20 on both the Official Singles Downloads and Official Singles Sales charts, where it enters at Nos. 17 and 20, respectively. It's only been a little more than a year since Cardi appeared in a more impressive position, as her most recent single 'Enough (Miami)' just narrowly beat where 'Outside' starts this week. Cardi B's Huge Collection of Hit Songs Cardi earns her twenty-sixth placement on the main ranking of the most consumed songs in the U.K. this week, where 'Outside' debuts at No. 72. 'Enough (Miami)' only spent one week at No. 85, while her previous track 'Bongos,' one of several collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion, rose all the way to No. 35 and still ranks as her most recent top 40 hit, even though it was released in September 2023.
