Another series from Sherlock scribe Steve Thompson is coming to the BBC.
The new crime thriller series titled Vienna Blood is based on the best-selling novels by Frank Tallis. It is produced by the UK’s Endor Productions, a Red Arrow Studios company, and Austria’s MR Film.
Vienna Blood stars Matthew Beard (The Imitation Game), and Juergen Maurer (Tatort). According to Variety, the series follows Max Liebermann (Beard) a “brilliant young English doctor, studying under psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. He meets Oskar Rheinhardt (Maurer), an Austrian detective and the pair go on to tackle some of Vienna’s most mysterious and deadly cases.”
Sue Deeks, the BB’s head acquisitions, said: “Vienna Blood is a unique, ambitious and compelling crime drama, set in glorious Vienna during an extraordinary period in its history.”
Bo Stehmeier, president of Red Arrow Studios International, added: “With its combination of gripping storylines, compelling cast, and talented creative team, I’m sure the series will be a hit with viewers in the UK.”
