After the success of Dark , Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese are already preparing what will surely be their next success. With a very short teaser and not suitable for epileptics, 1899 invites us to learn more about this new horror thriller set on a ship on the high seas . Everything indicates that it will be a very avant-garde series, with a very interesting multilingual component and a plot that will hook you like never before. This is all we already know about this new Netflix production.
Synopsis and teaser trailer from 1899
The 1899 series already has its second official teaser , which is published a year after the first. And, although you will hardly see a few single images, the important thing is precisely in the blinking and the sounds that are heard in the video, since it is, how could it be otherwise, a morse code that invites us to see the real trailer of the series next Monday, June 6 .
However, the synopsis is already published, and if you like horror and suspense, you will like this thriller too much. 1899 will narrate the journey of a group of European immigrants who will set sail from the United Kingdom to the United States in search of new opportunities. The goal of all these people is to leave the past behind and start the new century in New York City. The trip will be normal and ordinary until, at one point of the route, they will find a ship adrift in the open sea. From there, everything will become dark and gloomy.
What is lost will be found.

The series will have a total of 8 episodes that will last approximately one hour. From what we have been able to read, the past of the characters who travel to the new world will have a vital importance in the plot, since the characters will have a series of interconnected secrets in a very complex way. It has reminded us a bit of Lost, but the showrunners say that the structure that has been used to design the series is quite modern and innovative.
A multilingual series
Beyond the terror, the most interesting thing about this series is the way Netflix has approached it. Those of the Big Red N know perfectly well that we are used to reading subtitles, so the creators of the series have already confirmed that it will be the first multilingual series on the platform .
At the time in which the series is set, the ships that sailed from the old continent to the United States carried people of different nationalities, which means that 1899 is the perfect series to do this experiment. 1899 will feature actors from many different countries :
- Spain: Miguel Bernardeau, known for Elite .
- Germany: Andreas Pietschmann
- Poland: Anton Lesser, known for The Witcher .
- Wales: Aneurin Barnard
- England: Emily Beecham
When does the series come out?
With complete certainty, the release date will be published in the official trailer that will be published on the 6th. The filming of the series ended in Germany a few months ago, so the premiere should not be far away.
