There are three brand new cases to look forward to in season 4. Here is the official synopsis:

Episode 1: Safe in Amsterdam

Following the murder of a whistleblower under police custody, the team is tasked with ensuring that the second whistleblower survives long enough to testify and dismantle a criminal organization. However, detective Van der Valk faces a dilemma when he discovers that the officer responsible for safeguarding the deceased whistleblower used to be his romantic partner. In a twist of events, they are given an opportunity to collaborate with the head of the criminal empire in order to identify the murderer. Will Van der Valk seize this chance or choose to work independently instead?

Episode 2: Hope in Amsterdam

The team examines an environmental activist who was brutally killed just before a major international gathering. One of several possible culprits seems to be Cobie Stegenga, a well-known musician who vanished and is believed to have passed away. Detective Van Der Valk reaches out to Cobie’s father in search of the facts, but another gruesome killing leaves Stegenga as a prime suspect. Could it be possible?

Episode 3: Secrets in Amsterdam

Detective Van der Valk and his colleagues are tasked with uncovering the murderer of a scientist who was on the brink of a groundbreaking cancer treatment discovery. To aid them in their investigation, Van der Valk’s former love interest Kalie Tenkers reappears to assist. The question arises as to whether the scientist’s death is connected to wealthy pharmaceutical magnate Freddie Klink. As more chilling murders occur, seemingly at the hands of a skilled assassin, the team zeroes in on Klink.
