For twenty days in 1982 the Netherlands held its breath. Netflix has released the official trailer for Toos: The Van der Valk Kidnapping, a Dutch drama series inspired by the abduction of Toos van der Valk, the matriarch of the country’s biggest hotel family. Lies Visschedijk and Frank Lammers star, and the series arrives on Netflix on 26 November, 44 years to the day since the kidnapping.
