Vienna Blood season 4 is on the way very soon as we now have an official release date.
At one point we feared the series might end and it would have been a crime to have ended the adventures of Max Liebermann, a young doctor of psychology, and world-weary cop, Oskar Rheinhardt. Thankfully a fourth season has been made again starring Matthew Beard and Juergen Maurer.
Rather than focusing on a different story in each episode, the new series will focus on a single case.
Vienna Blood season 4 release date
The new two-part series will begin on BBC Two on Sunday, August 4 at 9 pm and it will be available on BBC iPlayer as a boxset.
It's heading to PBS in the US but we don't have an American release date as yet.
Vienna Blood season 4 plot
Max and Oskar get embroiled in a case that threatens to bring down the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire. A murder of an arms dealer and the killing of a top public official rocks Vienna and it's down to Max and Oskar to restore order. Writer Steve Thompson, whose previous credits include Sherlock and Doctor Who , has again penned the plot.
Speaking about the appeal of the show, Thompson previously said: "There have been some brilliant series in the last few decades focussing on criminal psychologists and the idea of creating a profile of the criminal mind. I think what's unique about Vienna Blood is that we're seeing the birth of that science, the beginning of the relationship between crime and psychotherapy. This is the very first time a psychotherapist has been consulted on a criminal case. And for me that's incredibly exciting."
Oskar will no doubt be nursing a broken heart after his latest girlfriend turned out to have a secret husband. While might Max and Clara finally get it together?
