Annechien Steenhuizen has returned to NOS Journaal after an absence of roughly two years, according to AD.nl. The presenter's comeback was reported on Thursday, 5 November 2026, and was picked up by several Dutch outlets, including NU, De Telegraaf and TVgids.nl.
De Telegraaf gives her age as 49. RTL.nl reports that NOS has said Steenhuizen is not yet back on a full-time basis, so her return will be gradual rather than a complete resumption of her previous duties. No further details about the terms of her return were included in the available reporting.
The reappearance of a familiar face on the broadcaster's main news programme drew attention across Dutch media, with TVgids.nl describing it as a surprise for viewers. AD.nl and NU both framed the move as a return after two years away from the programme.
What to watch next: whether NOS confirms a schedule for Steenhuizen's appearances and when, or if, she moves back to a full-time role.
