In the Austrian production Totenfrau, a undertaker struggles to learn the truth about her husband's death.

Gradually it becomes apparent that there are some dark secrets hidden in the idyllic small town in the mountains.

The main character of undertaker Blum was conceived by the Austrian author Bernhard Aichner, who wrote several novels about her.

With "Totenfrau" the bestseller series is now making it onto the screen thanks to the streaming service Netflix, whose cheaper subscription with advertising has not been very popular so far, and the ORF.

The first collaboration between the two stations was the series "Freud".

This time it's about the story of a undertaker from Tyrol, whose husband is hit by a car and dies.

At first everything looks like a tragic hit-and-run accident, but little by little the widow has doubts...

What is the series Totenfrau about?

Brunhilde Blum (Anna Maria Mühe) lives with her husband and their two children in a tranquil little town in the mostly picturesque, snow-covered mountains.

The idyll could hardly be more perfect.

But then one morning, when she is just waving goodbye to her lover as he rolls off the yard on his motorbike to take up his duties as a police officer, everything changes... You can read whether the series is worth it at Serialjunkies.de.
