Also, following the success of Season One in the UK and US, BBC Two and PBS are on board for Season Two.

Produced by award-winning production company Endor Productions (Deep State, Roald Dahl’s Esio Trot) and MR Film in Austria (Maximilian, Das Sacher), the three new feature-length episodes have once again been adapted by acclaimed screenwriter Steve Thompson (Deep State, Jericho, Sherlock), based on the best-selling novels by Frank Tallis.

The series will be directed by Academy Award® and Emmy® nominee Robert Dornhelm (Anne Frank: The Whole Story), the lead director of the first series of Vienna Blood.

Production on Season Two of Vienna Blood will begin in August 2020, shooting on location in Vienna in English, and once again starring Matthew Beard (The Imitation Game, Dracula) as Max Liebermann, and Juergen Maurer (Vorstadtweiber, Spuren des Bösen) as Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt.
