When the psychological thriller novel Liebes Kind was published four years ago, a huge hype immediately developed around Romy Hausmann’s debut novel. Now the dark bestseller is being filmed by Netflix as a series, which will be launched in just a few weeks.
Liebes Kind awaits us as the second German Netflix series this year after Schlafende Hunde. You can watch the first long trailer for the oppressive kidnapping series exclusively here:
In the trailer for the Netflix thriller Liebes Kind, a disturbing kidnapping nightmare begins
At first glance, Liebes Kind is a claustrophobic and absolutely perfidious psycho nightmare. A woman named Lena (Kim Riedle) is kidnapped by a psychopath and locked in a windowless house, where she must raise two children, Hannah (Naila Schuberth) and Jonathan (Sammy Schrein), under the strictest of rules – until she manages to escape.
And that’s just the beginning. Liebes Kind begins where other kidnapping thrillers end, and those familiar with the literary model know that the story has quite a few unexpected surprises in store. One shocking twist is already revealed in the trailer.
Lena’s parents searched for their missing daughter for 13 years. Now she is said to have finally been found. But the big reunion ends with a bang: the escaped woman is not “their” Lena. While the mystery surrounding Lena and her children must be solved, a race against time begins for the police. Because little Jonathan was left behind in the foreclosed horror house.
