Inspiration from famous news events

A disturbing story of kidnapping and imprisonment unfolded, full of suspense six 50-minute episodesand the pace of production true crime which Netflix particularly likes. But Dear little one it is pure fiction that is not based on a true story. However, the miniseries is the adaptation of the successful novel of the same name by Romy Hausmann. And the writer was inspired real facts of which to write the story Dear little one. He told it like this for Netflix in June 2023, then recalling the influence of Natascha Kampusch for writing the character of Hannah.

I saw Natascha Kampusch’s TV interview with Günther Jauch in 2006. It was a few weeks after she escaped from her captor. I have never forgotten this interview, because I was so moved by the way this young woman sat there, after so many years spent in a basement. She was so educated, she expressed herself so well. She could see it: she had learned, she had school books and she had developed a vision of the world – despite these circumstances at crucial stages of her life.

Hannah, who also lives in an isolated environment, studies books intensely. Since she does not know the world, she memorizes its definitions in a dictionary. I found it fascinating to let them engage with the world with these definitions. As a reader, and now also as a viewer, you notice how the theory of things and their practice clash.

High profile criminal cases

On the evening of her escape, her captor threw himself under a train. At the time the international press widely reported this terrible news.

Furthermore, another infamous story that also inspired Romy Hausman, that of the Austrian Elisabetta Fritzl. She is a young girl kidnapped and raped by her father for 24 years, between 1984 and 2008. During her captivity she gave birth to seven children, all the result of rapes suffered by her father.
