Van der Valk is a British television crime drama series that premiered on ITV in 2020. It is a loose remake of the original Van der Valk series that ran from 1972 to 1992 on ITV. Adapted from the eponymous series of crime thriller novels by Nicolas Freeling, the reboot was created and written by Chris Murray, with Marc Warren starring as police detective Van der Valk. Continuity with the original series is not preserved in the remake, which introduces revised and new characters as well as new storylines.
