Who is in the cast of Vienna Blood alongside Matthew Beard?

VIENNA Blood fans will be happy to hear that the BBC is getting ready to unleash a season two.

The series tells the story of an English doctor and a Detective Inspector who investigate a series of unusual and disturbing murders.

Who is in the cast of Vienna Blood?

The international stars of Vienna Blood are from Ireland, Australia, Austria, Germany and England.

The series was first out back in 2019, and is back for more in 2021.

Here’s who’s in the cast of the BBC drama, and where you’ve seen them before:

Matthew Beard as Max Lieberman

English actor Matthew Beard stars as young man Max Lieberman in Vienna Blood. 

Max is a middle-class British Jew who moved to Austria in his teenage years to chase a living as a junior doctor.

But Max quickly becomes more interested in neurology than the old-fashioned ideas of his lecturers.

Particularly interested in the teachings of Dr Sigmund Freud, Max finds himself obsessing over the psychology of psychopaths and murderers – and eventually manages to convince the Viennese police to let him observe their work. 

The actor has appeared in some big-name films and TV shows and starred as the younger version of Colin Firth’s character in 2007 movie And When Did You Last See Your Father.

Since then, Matthew has appeared as Guy in The Riot Club, Adrian in Kiss Me First, Peter Hilton in The Imitation Game and Arthur Potts in Decline And Fall. 

Jürgen Maurer plays Oskar Rheinhardt

Jürgen Maurer plays half-Slovak police inspector Oskar Rheinhardt in Vienna Blood.

Oskar is often irritated by Max’s long-winded approach to solving crimes, but is quick to realise that Max’s intuitions will be sure to advance his own career.
The Austrian actor rose to fame treading the boards but has since made the shift over to TV acting. 

Conleth Hill as Mendel Liebermann

Conleth Hill stars as Max’s father, Mendel Lieberman, in the BBC crime thriller. 

Game Of Thrones fans will immediately recognise his face from his role as Lord Varys in the series. 

The Irish actor has also appeared in Suits, Salmon Fishing In The Yemen and as Superintendent O’Kelly in crime thriller Dublin Murders. 

Charlene McKenna as Leah Liebermann

Irish actress Charlene McKenna appears in Vienna Blood as Max’s fiery older sister. 

Leah is a widow bringing her son up alone and often berates Max for his behaviour. 

Charlene briefly appeared in the latest series of Peaky Blinders as Captain Swing. 

She also starred as Rose Erskine in Ripper Street and has bagged roles in Pure Mule, Raw, Death And Nightingales, and Whistleblower. 

She played Niamh McGovern in 2021 drama Bloodlands alongside James Nesbitt – and is reprising the role in season two.

Amelia Bullmore as Rachel Liebermann

Amelia Bullmore plays Max’s clingy mother Rachel Liebermann in Vienna Blood. 

Rachel has little ambition beyond her children and heaps pressure on Max to marry Clara as soon as possible. 

Fans of historical dramas are likely to recognise Amelia from her role as righteous Eliza Priestley in Gentleman Jack, or as Olivia in Deep State. 

The English actress has also appeared in Scott & Bailey, Twenty Twelve and Power Monkeys. 

TV fans will know that, decades ago, Amelia rose to fame as Steph Barnes in Coronation Street. 

In 2021 she’s on our screens in The Larkins as Miss Edith Pilchester.

How can I watch Vienna Blood?

An exact air date is yet to be revealed for season two, but the BBC has teased it will be winter 2021.

We also know that there will be three new episodes for you to enjoy.
