When the series was first revealed, early reports described the genre as horror, but Friese says that's not really accurate. "I would say it's a drama mystery show, or maybe a mystery thriller. I mean, we're always mixing genres, but the DNA is not per se a horror show."
Another part of the series that was touted when it was first announced was that 1899 would not be entirely in German, like Dark, nor would it be in any one language. "We do love challenges," Odar says with a laugh. "And we wanted to do a multilingual show that you treat all these different cultures with respect, and you don't just do it in English,...
Sorry Dark fans, no time-travel wormholes here. Odar promises another "very interesting, weird theme" to 1899, but can't reveal what it is.

The largest LED "Volume" of its kind in Europe, it unlocks the ability to capture a significant amount of complex visual effects shots in-camera through virtual sets and locati...
If all goes according to plan, fans have many more episodes to look forward to. "It's structured again as a three-season mystery puzzle just like Dark," Friese explains. "And obviously, this will only happen if enough people watch, but the way that we approached development and how season 1 is ending, you kind of want to have another one. So hopefu...
