Netflix Releases The Trap Psychological Thriller Series

Netflix has released The Trap, a six-part German psychological thriller series about successful author Lisa Konrad, who isolates herself after witnessing her sister Anna's murder and attempts to trap the person she believes is responsible.

According to Yahoo, the series is adapted from Melanie Raabe's bestselling novel and follows Lisa as she uses a new book project to lure a journalist she suspects of being connected to the crime. The production was created by Isabel Kleefeld, Tom Spiess, and Friederich Oetker.

The story centers on Lisa, played by Friederike Becht, who has not left her home for nearly ten years after the killing. According to Decider, she sees journalist Robert Lenzen on television and believes he is the person she saw near the scene of Anna's death.

Lisa's past and investigation drive the series' central conflict, with Hans Löw playing Robert Lenzen and other cast members including Matthias Brandt, Miriam Ohlmeyer, Malaya Stern Takeda, Josephine Thiesen, Anna Schudt, Michael Klammer, Ursula Strauss, and Sesede Terziyan.

"I had a sister who was three years younger than me. Her name was Anna. I loved her.

So much." Lisa's narration establishes the trauma behind the story, as reported by Decider.

The series portrays Lisa's plan to obtain evidence by creating a fictional novel and arranging an interview with Lenzen. Decider reported that she hopes the meeting will allow her to collect DNA evidence connected to the unsolved murder.

"But when she believes she recognises the killer on television, she sets out to trap him – using herself as the bait." Netflix's synopsis stated the premise of the series.

The creative team behind The Trap previously worked on the German crime drama Dear Child, according to Yahoo and Heaven of Horror. The series features original music by Volker Bertelmann and Ben Winkler, who scored the Netflix production, according to Film Music Reporter.

"Yours," Lisa says in a scene described by Decider, referring to the DNA she believes belongs to the person responsible for Anna's death.

The Trap is available to stream on Netflix as a limited six-episode psychological thriller based on Raabe's novel.
