Retired French cop Julien Baptiste – star of hit BBC1 drama The Missing – is set to return to our screens in a spin-off detective show.
The six-episode series, to be called Baptiste, will be set mostly in Amsterdam, where the character, played by Turkish-born French actor Tcheky Karyo, is on holiday with his wife Celia.

The dogged French detective finds his life in danger when he helps local police in the battle against the city’s drug gangs.
News that Baptiste is alive and well will come as a relief to fans who saw him at the end of The Missing awaiting surgery for a life-threatening tumour.
Karyo, 64, said: ‘Julien is very dear to me so I’m really excited to see what dark secrets he unveils this time.’
