Woman of the Dead (Totenfrau) is a dark and gripping Austrian crime thriller series that premiered on Netflix in 2022. Set against the haunting backdrop of the Tyrolean Alps, this six-episode mystery follows Brünhilde Blum, a devoted wife, mother, and mortician whose life spirals into chaos after the sudden and suspicious death of her husband, Mark.
When Mark—an upstanding police officer—is killed in a supposed hit-and-run, Blum is devastated. But her grief soon gives way to suspicion as she uncovers disturbing evidence suggesting his death was no accident. Driven by a deep sense of justice and a thirst for truth, Blum begins her own investigation. As she peels back layers of small-town secrecy, she uncovers a web of corruption, power, and brutality that reaches into the highest echelons of the community.
Blum’s journey transforms her from a grieving widow into a relentless seeker of vengeance. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes she’s not just battling criminals—she’s taking on an entire system designed to silence the vulnerable. And with every step, she becomes more entangled in violence, risking everything to avenge the man she loved.
Starring Anna Maria Mühe in a riveting lead performance, Woman of the Dead blends emotional intensity with edge-of-your-seat suspense. The series explores themes of grief, justice, morality, and female agency, all wrapped in a chilling noir atmosphere. With its sharp writing, breathtaking alpine visuals, and morally complex characters, Season 1 has earned praise for its originality and emotional depth.
This is more than a murder mystery—it’s a psychological exploration of what happens when a woman refuses to be silenced, even if it means becoming something she never imagined.
