Arjen Lubach will remain with RTL until the end of 2029. The broadcaster announced this on Wednesday, according to a report by NL Vandaag based on BuzzE.
Lubach moved from VPRO to RTL at the end of 2024. His satirical programme LUBACH began there in 2025 and is broadcast on RTL 4 and Videoland.
According to the reports, Lubach calls the extension a crowning achievement for his team’s work. RTL content director Peter Lubbers says the collaboration will continue.
The contract extension indicates that RTL intends to retain the combination of news, satire and streaming in its programming for the time being. The announcement does not yet clarify the financial terms or future programmes.
The available free sources do confirm the existing collaboration and the programme, but provide no second independent confirmation of the new contract duration. The report therefore receives the status insufficient_sources.

The text is limited to what the available sources report. The contract duration has not been independently confirmed and is therefore explicitly marked as insufficiently supported by independent sources.
