Interview with Lucy Griffiths who plays Amelia Lydgate in Vienna BloodThe second series of Vienna Blood (3 x 90’) will air on BBC Two this winterOFFICIAL PRESS RELEASENEWS PROVIDED BY BBC TWO Who is Amelia Lydgate? How has Amelia’s situation developed since season one? In season one, Amelia was a patient of Max’s and she’s since recovered. She is stable and healthy, working well and kind of on her own in Vienna. But she doesn’t mind. How was taking over the role from Jessica De Gouw? It was good because I had someone else’s work to refer to, and used it to inform what I was doing which I liked. Jess played Amelia as quite a reserved character. She held her cards close to her chest. At the same time she was quite independent and confident. Amelia held ‘her own’ in season one and I think that’s a good way to play this character. So I could just take Jess’ lead and keep on with a similar vibe. How would you describe Vienna Blood? It’s very dark. That said, there’s a levity to the show which I don’t think necessarily matches the subject matter all the time, which means it’s just enjoyable to watch because it’s not constant murder!
