Van der Valk (2020-2023) is a British crime series set in Amsterdam with Marc Warren starring as Commissaris Piet van der Valk.

In the 1st episode of the 2023 series, assertions are early made by Inspecteur Lucienne Hassell (Maimie McMoy) that imply the orphan status of a young man who raised his brother was sufficient reason to suspect him of murder.

The 2nd episode of the same series also has a displaced child at the centre, but –spoiler alert – it turns out the 16 year who was imprisoned for murder wasn’t the culprit. Nor was she an orphan.
