Fans of detective dramas, we have some excellent news: ITV has finally revealed the launch date for Van Der Valk and it's so soon!

Tweeting the news alongside a brand new publicity snap, the channel said: "New three-part detective drama series, Van Der Valk (starring Marc Warren) starts Sunday 26th April at 8pm on ITV."


Gritty drama Van Der Valk follows Simon van der Valk, a cynical yet intuitive Dutch detective.

Featuring three feature-length episodes - written by Chris Murray whose previous credits include Midsomer Murders - viewers follow the brooding detective on a series of cases in Amsterdam.

The titular character will be played by Marc Warren (Beecham House, The Good Wife, The Musketeers), while Maimie McCoy (White House Farm, A Confession) will star as Lucienne Hassell, Van Der Valk's partner.
