The broadcaster VRT is developing a follow-up documentary to its series "Godvergeten", a spokesperson confirmed on Sunday.

The original series, aired in September 2023, explored years of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church. It sparked significant societal debate and prompted the creation of a parliamentary inquiry.

According to a statement from VRT, much has happened in society regarding church-related abuse over the past two-and-a-half years. The broadcaster’s editorial team has closely monitored these developments and is now working on a standalone documentary to examine the outcomes during this period.

This new production will not be a multi-episode sequel to ‘Godvergeten’; instead, it will be a single-episode documentary focusing on the aftermath of the series.

Details about the documentary’s content have not yet been disclosed, and its broadcast date remains unknown.
