• Jaan Rekkor, Tambet Tuisk and Märt Avandi lead all-star Estonian cast • Crime drama is directed by René Vilbre and scripted by Birk Rohelend • ‘Who Shot Otto Mueller?’ will premiere exclusively on Viaplay An unprecedented line-up of Estonia’s top creative talents will partner with Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT Group), the Nordic region’s leading streaming company, to create the first-ever Estonian Viaplay Original. Helmed by award-winning director René Vilbre and written by Birk Rohelend, the tense crime drama ‘Who Shot Otto Mueller?’ stars Jaan Rekkor, Tambet Tuisk and Märt Avandi, and will premiere exclusively on NENT Group’s Viaplay streaming service in Estonia and across the Baltic region. René Vilbre’s recent credits include the blockbuster ‘Class Reunion’ trilogy, which are among the highest grossing films in Estonian cinema history. His next film, ‘Estonian Funeral’, will be released late summer. Birk Rohelend is a successful novelist and the creator of one of Estonia’s biggest TV series, ‘The Pillowclub’, currently in its 14th season, along with hit local dramas ‘The Trap’, ‘Wicked Girls’ and ‘Restart’. In the Viaplay Original ‘Who Shot Otto Mueller?’, a famous businessman and former Soviet wrestling star is found murdered in his manor on his 65th birthday. Detectives interrogate eight family members in turn, and dark truths about a successful and powerful man who once killed a wolf with his bare hands gradually come to light. Everyone has a story about Otto Mueller – and everyone has a motive.

By bringing together the best local talents to tell the most relevant local stories, we want to help take Estonian streamed content to the next level. ‘Who Shot Otto Mueller?’ gives a smart, complex and very Estonian twist to a classic crime format proven to thrill audiences everywhere.” ‘Who Shot Otto Mueller?’ is produced by Tallinn-based Cuba Films, a production company with 10 years’ background in series and TV commercials whose works have received recognition at Estonia’s prestigious Golden Egg festival. Filming will begin in September near Tallinn.
