Sinéad Keenan and Sanjeev Bhaskar in “Unforgotten”
Cover Story In the mood for mystery: Detective dramas return with back-to-back premieres By Sarah Passingham Some of television’s favorite detectives are hot on the trail of chilling cases across Europe as PBS welcomes back two crime dramas for season premieres on this side of the pond. “Unforgotten” and “Van der Valk” debut back-toback season premieres on Sunday, Sept. 30. “Van der Valk” premieres the first installment of its three-episode third season following the titular cynic detective Piet Van der Valk (Marc Warren, “Flack”) as he combs through the criminal underbelly of idyllic Amsterdam to solve the city’s murders. A reboot of the 1972-1992 series of the same name starring Barry Foster (“Maurice,” 1987), both series are inspired by the “Van der Valk” detective novels by author Nicolas Freeling. The character’s stories

have been adapted not just for TV but for radio and film as well. In the season premiere of “Van der Valk,” the detective chases leads in the murder of a prominent freerunner. Connections in the case to Amsterdam’s drug scene send Van der Valk on a mission that puts his street smarts to the test. Maimie McCoy (“All Creatures Great and Small”) stars as Insp. Lucienne Hassell, with new additions this season, Django ChanReeves (“Industry”) as Sgt. Citra Li and Azan Ahmed (“Mood”) as Sgt. Eddie Suleman. Emma Fielding (“Sanditon”) returns as Van der Valk’s boss, commissioner Julia Dahlman, and Darrell D’Silva (“Domina”) is back this season as forensic pathologist Hendrik Davie. London-set drama “Unforgotten” stars Sanjeev Bhaskar (“Yesterday,” 2019) as DCI Sunil
“Sunny” Khan and new addition Sinéad Keenan (“Showtrial”) as DCI Jessica James in its fifth season of cold case deep dives. Each six-episode season centers on one decades-old case reinvigorated by newly discovered evidence. The much-anticipated upcoming season of “Unforgotten” kicks off with a puzzling first case for the newest member of the cold case unit. A bit stiff and overly professional in her new role, DCI James is sent to Hammersmith, London, to investigate the discovery of remains that could possibly date back as far as the 1930s. Uncovered during restoration work, it is not immediately clear which of the antiques in the historical home could be contemporaneous to the remains. The team must quickly figure out how to work together if they are going
to construct a timeline that could very well span a century. Returning this season are Carolina Main (“Foundation”) as DC Fran Lingley, Jordan Long (“Prime Suspect: Tennison”) as DS Murray Boulting, Pippa Nixon (“Angela Black”) as DC Karen Willetts, Georgia Mackenzie (“Casualty”) as pathologist Dr. Leanne Balcombe and Michelle Bonnard (“Blindspot”) as Sally Field, Sunny’s partner. Fair warning that spoilers lie ahead that reveal the events of the fourth season of “Unforgotten.” If you are caught up on the show, then you already know who is missing from cast members returning for the new season. “Unforgotten” said goodbye last season to the beloved DCI Cassie Stuart, portrayed by “Annika” star Nicola Walker.
