With "Freud", Netflix has released a new series that shows psychologist Sigmund Freud in an unusual light. Will there be a second season?

  • On March 23, 2020, the new German-language series "Freud" appeared on Netflix .
  • It is about the psychologist Sigmund Freud , but it is not a filmic biography.
  • Director Marvin Kren suspects that the series could cause controversial discussions.

A series about Sigmund Freud ? That definitely sounds conclusive, because the life of the world-famous psychologist should provide more than enough material for a filmic implementation. Marvin Kren , the showrunner of the new ORF and Netflix series "Freud" , may also have had this idea. However, he added a fictional component to the psychologist's life story: a murder case that turned Freud's life upside down.

Not everyone will like the new Netflix series "Freud"

After Netflix released the eight episodes of season 1 on March 23, 2020, "Freud" quickly climbed into the daily top 10 streaming service *. Some viewers may have tuned in for a very specific reason: media reports made it clear beforehand that the user could expect a cruel and bloodthirsty spectacle .

Director and producer Marvin Kren makes no secret of this. He expects controversial discussions, since the Freud depicted may not correspond to the picture that many of him have. The BR quotes him in the following words: "We treat him [Freud] with the greatest homage and respect. And on the one hand we really try to create a visual memorial. But we are disrespectful to say that he is a self-destructive cocaine addict."

The combination of Freud's life story and a fictional murder case that the psychologist gets to the bottom of is still well received by many viewers. So will there be a second season?
