The Empress continues to be a hit on Netflix by maintaining its place in the top 10. The opportunity to go further by recommending another series with the brilliant Melika Foroutan, who plays Sissi’s mother-in-law.
In The Empress, she plays Sophie, Sissi’s cantankerous stepmother. A complex and fascinating character that Melika Foroutan interprets with accuracy. If the face of this German-Iranian actress means anything to you, it’s because she has already worked with Netflix.
The young woman is indeed part of the distribution of Tribes of Europa, a German choral series which was launched in February 2021. Taking place in the future, more precisely in 2074, it follows three brothers and sisters fighting for their survival in a Europe bruised, fractured into several micro-states after a mysterious global catastrophe. Each of the tribes wishes to dominate the entire European continent.
Melika Foroutan plays Lord Varvara, one of the antagonists of the series. Exit corsets and imposing dresses, she offers herself in Tribes of Europa a darker and more sexy look. His character, a member of a warrior clan called the “Crows”, is one of the most successful and intriguing. In particular, she has an ambiguous relationship with Kiano (Emilio Sakraya), the eldest of the siblings who was captured, whom she will shape in her image.
To date, only a small season of 6 episodes is available on Netflix. A year and a half after it aired, fans are still waiting for its renewal, but no announcement has been made yet. It would also seem that the platform has lost interest in the project to devote itself to another more ambitious German production, by the creators of Dark. Entitled 1899, it will be released on November 17.
Besides, if you’re more into film than series, Netflix released the horrifying feature film Old People a few days ago in which Melika Foroutan plays a mother trying to escape… from residents of a house. of retirement.
