Could We See a Second Season of 'Vienna Blood'? Here's What We Know

The period mystery series Vienna Blood recently wrapped up its first season on Masterpiece, but the fate of the show remains uncertain.

The series stars Matthew Beard and as a doctor and a detective inspector who solve crimes in 1900s Vienna. Beard stars as Max Liebermann, a 20-something middle-class British-Jew who moved to Austria in his teens and studied under the famous Sigmund Freud. He finds himself working with Maurer's much more traditional Detective Oskar Rheinhardt, and the two forms a Holmes and Watson-esque partnership to solve cases using a combination of good old fashioned police work and some of Liebermann's more mordern forsenic and investigative techniques.

The six-episode first season was based on Frank Tallis' series of novels entitled The Lieberman Papers. (And you can read recaps of each episode here on the site if you missed out.) But it only adapted elements from three of the stories, leaving plenty of material to work with should the series return for a second run. The thing is, we just don't know if it'll get one.
