The fourth season of Vienna Blood looks set to premiere in the UK on BBC Two and streaming on BBC iPlayer in early 2024. There’s no confirmation yet on which other returning cast members will be joining the crime-fighting duo though. Matthew Beard ( The Imitation Game) and Austrian actor Juergen Maurer will both be reprising their roles as brilliant young English doctor Max Liebermann and Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt. “And will their lives ever be the same again?” Can the Freudian psychiatrist and the detective do enough to stop a seditious mole known as ‘Mephisto’ from bringing the Austro-Hungarian Empire to destruction? “Oskar and Max discover a conspiracy that leads to the heart of government. when Inspector Rheinhardt asks for help in what could be the biggest case of their career. “Doctor Max Liebermann has only just returned from a tour of the U.S. “It’s Vienna, 1909 and the double murder of an arms dealer in police custody and a senior public official has shaken Vienna to its core.

Introducing a big shift in the show’s storytelling, Season 4 will tell feature one single story told over three episodes. The first three seasons were each comprised of three 90-minute mysteries, and this is where the producers will be shaking things up. So we’re very happy to confirm that a fourth season of Vienna Blood began filming on location in Austria this summer!Ĭreated by Sherlock writer Steve Thompson and based on Frank Tallis’s Liebermann novels, the series has been a hit for the BBC and PBS since it debuted in 2019. News on the show has been very thin on the ground since then, however, and we were beginning to wonder if the show had been quietly axed. Caveat emptor - If you want candy floss - look elsewhere.We’ve finally got an update on the future of Vienna Blood.Ī third season of the 1900s Austria-set period crime drama premiered in the UK last December, airing in the US earlier this year. My wish was rather to have some more time to explore the places, the times, and to get to know a little more of the intriguing characters. I loved the way both the visuals and story details were gradually unfolded and the characters allowed to evolve. I loved the care taken with settings, camera angles, lighting, the colour balance etc. It is best not to view and to try to apprehend a grand master painting in the same way as one might set about enjoying a Mickey Mouse cartoon. ![]() The prime value for me in this excellent series is in enjoying the texture of the work. One of the complaints I read was that the story lines were rather too simple, another complained that the series was slow moving. ![]() I am hooked, please sir can I have some more? ADDENDUM: On reading some of the critical reviews, I felt I should add a further note to my very brief review in order to help place the series in a little sharper relief. The casting, acting, directing, styling, cinematography, and for the most part the story lines were of a very high quality. ![]() It is quietly funny in places and very disturbing in others, the crumbling Empire and undertones of Nazism and not so much the gore are what I found to be the bits that left an aftertaste. It's not popcorn and candy cuisine, and it requires a degree of digesting. This superb, refreshingly different, historical who-done-it series takes a little bit of work to fully enjoy. Not for the unsophisticated block-buster fans or the action movie addicts. ![]()
