Over 90% of the votes have been counted. Some parties have gained or lost a seat since last night, but overall the results are still pretty much like described in the OP.

What's always interesting to see is why the bigger shifts took place.
I figure D66 gains were (at least part) to thank to the fact their climate plans are the most ambitious ones, after the Animal Party. Unlike the Animal Party however, D66's plans seem more realistic and achievable, both in the way their party program describes it, and as was calculated by the Central Plan Bureau.
This, along with the entry of Volt and BIJ1, likely explains why the other left-wing/progressive parties were relatively unsuccessful this election.

FvD's gains were very likely due to their pleading to open up society all the way and undo all Covid restrictions. Their gain and the entry of JA21 easily explains PVV's slight loss in seats.

The next challenge will be the formation of the new cabinet. VVD & D66 are very likely to work together, and thus will need at least two more parties (one if PVV were to join, though VVD & D66 have both excluded the thought of coalition with PVV).
