Gagnants ("Winners") is a Hennish coming-of-age drama television series produced by Horizon Pictures and Ecran Hennehouwe for De Eerste and iPlay. It is based principally on the 2018 novel of the same name by Leyla Meinert, who also serves as the series' lead writer and executive producer. The series follows the lives of six students from radically different backgrounds whose lives intersect at the start of their undergraduate studies at the prestigious Leeuwenbrug University.
The series is filmed on-location at Leeuwenbrug University in Leeuwenbrug, Flamia, with additional filming for season one taking place in s'Holle and Gaullica. Writing for the series was conducted by Meinert and Mannix van Devanter, the latter of whom also served as director alongside Benoit Lichterman and Femke Bick. The series premiered on De Eerste in Hennehouwe on 14 October 2021, with an international release through iPlay one day later on 15 October 2021.
The first season of Gagnants received positive reviews in its native Hennehouwe, with praise for its cast performances, writing, cinematography, and its approach to sensitive and taboo topics. Issues addressed during the first season included love, sex, mental health, drug use, sexual assault, LGBTQ+ issues and friendship breakdown. Gagnants won an award for Best Hennish Drama at the 2022 Gouden Awards, with individual awards for cast members x and y for xaward and yaward, respectively. On 10 January 2022, HNO and iPlay announced that Gagnants had been green lit for a second season, slated to air in late 2023.
