help Freud FAQ

Is Netflix's Freud a true biography of Sigmund Freud?

No, it is a fictional crime mystery built around a young Sigmund Freud, not a documentary biography. The Austrian broadcaster's description explicitly calls the criminal case fiction, while Netflix places it in Vienna in 1886. [Netflix Freud page](https://www.netflix.com/title/80209184)

How many episodes does Freud have?

The series has eight episodes, each roughly 45 minutes in the production description. It first aired on ORF in 2020 and was then released internationally on Netflix. [ZDF Studios series page](https://www.zdf-studios.com/en/program-catalog/international/drama/series/crime-suspense/freud)

Who plays Freud, Fleur Salomé, and Alfred Kiss?

Robert Finster plays Sigmund Freud, Ella Rumpf plays medium Fleur Salomé, and Georg Friedrich plays police officer Alfred Kiss. Netflix's synopsis pairs the three as an unlikely group solving bloody mysteries in 19th-century Vienna. [Netflix Freud page](https://www.netflix.com/title/80209184)

What kind of show is Freud, and does it use supernatural elements?

It blends historical crime drama with psychic-mystery elements through Fleur Salomé, so it takes major fictional liberties with Freud's early life. Netflix lists the central case as a string of bloody mysteries rather than a factual account of psychoanalysis. [Netflix Freud page](https://www.netflix.com/title/80209184)
