About
Loes Haverkort (January 19, 1981, Almelo) is a versatile artist who tells stories in many forms: on stage, in film and series, through music, and through photography.
After graduating from the Maastricht Academy of Dramatic Arts, Loes began her career with leading companies such as ZT//Hollandia and Het Nationaal Toneel. There she distinguished herself in classics like Richard III and The Merchant of Venice. The wider public discovered her versatility when she portrayed the role of Charlotte as first cast in the musical Soldier of Orange.
On the big screen, Loes broke through with leading roles in the feature films Rendez-Vous and Redbad. In 2025, an international milestone followed: one of the lead roles in the Netflix hit iHostage, the most-watched Dutch film of all time, with 58 million viewing hours worldwide and a #1 position in no fewer than 81 countries. She also made her mark in drama series, with roles in Moedermaffia, Celblok H, Oogappels, and the international series Van der Valk, among others. For her role as Lea in De Jacht, she was nominated for a Golden Calf for Best Leading Role.
Besides acting, music plays an important role in her life. In 2015, she released her first EP with her band LOUISV, which was named Serious Talent by 3FM and performed at Noorderslag, among other venues. In 2022, a new EP followed, Falling, this time under her own name.
In 2023, Loes won over the TV audience once again, this time with a camera instead of on screen: she won Het Perfecte Plaatje, where she excelled by capturing deep emotions in a single photograph. This experience ignited a lasting love for photography. In November 2025, her first photo book TROOST will be published.
What connects all of Loes’s work is her drive to tell stories that touch and connect people. Whether through a role, a song, or a photograph – time and again she seeks recognition and comfort, summed up in her belief: you’re not alone.
Loes can once again be seen in the lead role of the third season of Moedermaffia. She is also currently working on the Netflix Original series De Eetclub, in which she plays one of the leading roles.
