Van der Valk star on possibility of season 3: "As long as people want it"
Marc Warren admits he would like the ITV drama to return, but says he is waiting for the audience reaction.
Van der Valk season 2 comes to an end this Sunday, with the Dutch detective investigating after a classic musician dies following an acid attack.
This second season of the rebooted crime series, based on Nicolas Freeling's novels and following another TV adaptation from 1972 to 1992, came two years after the first, but now all attention is of course on whether a third is in the offing.
Star Marc Warren has now weighed in on the chances of another outing for the detective drama, telling RadioTimes.com and other press that he personally would like to see it happen.
Warren said: "Yeah [I’d love to return]. I think as long as people want it, then yeah. Let's see. Let's see what the reaction is."
This weeks final episode of season 2 is set to be a personal one, particularly for Maimie McCoy's character Lucienne, as it turns out the victim's partner is her ex.
Warren also recently spoke about a tense moment he and the cast encountered while filming the episode, explaining that while shooting they "had to drive through Dam Square at its most packed in the Cherokee and we were wearing bulletproof vests."
He continued: "I don't think we had our guns on us but we had the flashing lights going on, and somebody had not told the local police that we were doing that and we got pulled over and I suddenly thought, 'Christ, if we've got guns on us as well, we're going to be in a lot of trouble.'"
