Marc Warren (Safe, Mad Dogs, Hustle) reprises the titular role of Commissaris Piet Van Der Valk in the third series of detective drama Van Der Valk which is filmed entirely on location in and around Amsterdam.

The street-smart detective is once again joined by Maimie McCoy as Inspector Lucienne Hassell, Darrell D'Silva as team pathologist Hendrik Davie and Emma Fielding as Chief Commissaris Julia Dahlman. Returning cast are joined by new team members Sergeants Citra Li played by Django Chan-Reeves and Eddie Suleman played by Azan Ahmed.

The return of Van Der Valk sees the Dutch detective and his team solving three more homicides in the city. In the first episode the team are immediately plunged into an investigation following the dramatic shooting of an idealistic Freerunning champion, which draws them into the murky world of drug smuggling.

Episode two explores the series' first ever Cold Case. The present-day murder of a museum employee involved in the restitution of ancient artefacts links back to a case Van Der Valk worked on at the beginning of his career, alongside boss Julia Dahlman's ex-husband, when a troubled teenage girl seemingly burnt her younger siblings to death.

And in the climactic episode of the series the team are taken to the edge of reality following the death of a participant in a magical ritual invoking a demon. Is there a supernatural cause for the murder, or is there a much more earthbound explanation?

Van Der Valk: Series 3 is released on DVD 3rd July 2023 from Dazzler Media.
