VAN DER VALK SET TO RETURN FOR FOURTH SERIES ON ITV

Hit detective drama Van der Valk, led by Marc Warren in the titular role as Commissaris Piet Van der Valk, is set to return for a fourth series, according to online production listings.

The commission has not been announced or confirmed by ITV so it's still speculation at this stage, however the series reportedly commenced production this Spring and is set to air next year.

In the third series, which concluded on ITV last weekend, saw 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.

Louise Pedersen, CEO at All3Media International, said of the previous commission: “With its high production values, suspenseful storylines and beautiful backdrops, Van der Valk has quickly established itself as a standout success globally, and we’re thrilled to reunite with our co-production partners on a brand-new season...

“Long-running premium dramas are always high on the wish-list for our clients, so this new season commission will allow us to build on Van der Valk’s international appeal even further.”

Van Der Valk is available on ITVX. TV Zone approached ITV for comment.
