Wolfs sterft na klap van zogenaamd zoon in eerste aflevering nieuwe seizoen
Maastricht, vrijdag, 27 februari 2026.
Floris Wolfs is dood. Het iconische personage uit Flikken Maastricht overleed na een harde klap van Boris, de man die beweert zijn zoon te zijn. De scène speelde zich af buiten beeld. Wolfs werd later in het ziekenhuis dood verklaard. Boris zit vast op verdenking van poging tot zware mishandeling. Hij had kort daarvoor een DNA-match laten zien. Die bevestigde volgens hem de vaderschap. Kijkers reageren teleurgesteld. Ze noemen het einde ongeloofwaardig. Wolfs had achttien seizoenen lang extremere gevaren overleefd. Victor Reinier, die Wolfs speelde, kondigde vorig jaar zijn vertrek aan. Dit is zijn laatste optreden in de serie.
the end of an era for floris wolfs
The twentieth season of ‘Flikken Maastricht’ premiered on Friday, 27 February 2026, marking the definitive departure of Floris Wolfs, portrayed by Victor Reinier [1]. Although Reinier announced his exit in February 2025 due to reported tensions on set, particularly with co-star Angela Schijf, viewers were left uncertain until the premiere [2]. His character’s fate was resolved off-screen after being attacked by Boris, a man claiming to be his son through a DNA match [3]. The abrupt closure disappointed longtime fans who expected a more fitting farewell for such a central figure.
fans react to wolfs’ sudden demise
Audiences took to social media immediately following the episode, expressing disbelief and dissatisfaction with how Wolfs’ story concluded [4]. Many pointed out that the character survived nineteen seasons filled with life-threatening situations—shootings, kidnappings, explosions—only to die from a single blow [5]. Comments included: ‘Then you’ve already survived the most extreme cliffhangers. And now you’re gone because of a slap?’ [@jordilang2] [6]. Others criticized the lack of an emotional send-off, calling it unworthy of the legacy built over nearly two decades [7].
boris revealed as wolfs’ alleged son
In the opening scenes of season twenty, Boris—a key suspect in a drug theft investigation—confronts Wolfs in downtown Maastricht [8]. During their encounter, Boris declares: ‘Klootzak. Je bent mijn vader’ (‘Asshole. You’re my father’) before striking him down [9]. Earlier forensic evidence showed a confirmed DNA match between the characters, supporting Boris’ paternity claim [10]. Following the assault, Wolfs was hospitalized but did not survive complications arising from the injury [11]. Boris remains in custody facing charges of attempted grievous bodily harm [12].
transition to new lead amid controversy
With Victor Reinier’s exit, actor Eric Corton assumes the male lead role in the series [13]. Producers acknowledged Reinier’s significant contribution, describing him as both lead actor and director across seventeen years of production [14]. Despite prior assurances that the storyline would adapt respectfully, the decision to kill off Wolfs without an on-screen presence during his final moments sparked backlash [15]. Viewers contrasted the grandiose survival arcs of past episodes with the anticlimactic nature of this ending, questioning its believability [16].
