Waar de f*ck is stuk? Hunters: Gordon, Soundos, Olcay Cast

"Waar de f*ck is stuk?" Has Its Hunters — and the Cast Is a Treat

Sixteen Dutch celebrities. Five days. One continent. And three very nervous guys.

Videoland announced on October 15, 2026, that the new season of Waar de f*ck is stuk? premieres November 6. Sixteen BN'ers will split into eight duos and spend five days trying to track down Team STUK — Giel de Winter, Thomas van der Vlugt, and Stefan Jurriens — somewhere in Europe. It's the ultimate Dutch celebrity cat-and-mouse game, and it's back.

Three of the hunters are already confirmed, and honestly, the casting team didn't miss. Here's why this lineup has me genuinely excited.

The Confirmed Hunters

Gordon — the veteran showman

If you've followed Dutch entertainment at all, you know Gordon. He's a veteran Dutch singer and TV personality, a household name in the Netherlands for decades. He's loud, he's opinionated, he's never boring — and that's exactly what makes him a fascinating pick for a hunting show.

Here's the thing about Gordon: he does not do low-key. Watching him try to stay stealthy while tracking three guys across Europe is going to be comedy gold. But don't count him out — he's been on Dutch TV long enough to know how the game works, and underestimate him at your own risk.

Soundos El Ahmadi — the sharpest mind in the room

Soundos El Ahmadi is a Dutch comedian and actress, known for her sharp stand-up and her TV appearances. She's one of the funniest people in the Netherlands, full stop. But beyond the laughs, she's clever — and a hunting show is, at its core, a thinking game.

I think Soundos might be the most dangerous hunter confirmed so far. Comedians read people for a living; they spot patterns, they anticipate behavior, they think three steps ahead. Team STUK — Giel de Winter, Thomas van der Vlugt, and Stefan Jurriens — should be very, very careful if Soundos picks up their trail.

Olcay Gulsen — the polished strategist

Olcay Gulsen is a Dutch TV presenter and media personality. She's sharp, she's experienced, and she understands how high-pressure TV formats work from the inside. Where Gordon brings chaos and Soundos brings wit, Olcay brings calm strategy.

That's a combination that could be lethal. Somebody has to keep the duo focused while the clock ticks, and Olcay fits that role perfectly.

And Thirteen More to Come

That's just three of sixteen. Videoland is holding the remaining thirteen hunter names close for now, and they'll be revealed in the coming days and weeks.

I'll be honest — the slow reveal is smart. Every new name announced is another headline, another wave of speculation about which duo will work and which will fall apart. The chemistry between partners matters as much as the hunting skills here.

The Format, Explained for New Viewers

Never watched the show? Here's all you need to know:

1. Team STUK — the trio of Giel de Winter, Thomas van der Vlugt, and Stefan Jurriens — goes into hiding somewhere in Europe.
2. Eight duos of hunters (sixteen BN'ers total) get five days to find them.
3. The hunters follow leads, chase sightings, and use every trick they can think of to close in on the trio.
4. Team STUK has to keep moving, stay off the radar, and survive the full five days without getting caught.

That's the whole show. Simple premise, enormous tension. The fun is in the details — the near misses, the wrong turns, the moments where a hunter is inches away and doesn't know it.

What Makes This Season Worth Watching

A few things have me convinced this could be the strongest season yet.

The numbers. Sixteen hunters is a big cast. Eight duos means eight different strategies, eight different team dynamics, and eight times the chaos. More hunters means less room for Team STUK to breathe.

The mix. Gordon, Soundos El Ahmadi, and Olcay Gulsen couldn't be more different from each other — a veteran showman, a sharp comedian, a polished presenter. If the remaining thirteen are half as varied, the team dynamics alone will carry the season.

The format works. The cat-and-mouse chase across Europe over five days is a proven hook. It doesn't need gimmicks. It just needs good hunters and a trio smart enough to stay ahead of them.
