Netflix brings mysteries to the high seas with the latest series from the creators of Dark, 1899. The streamer released a new trailer for the series on Monday, which gave us our best description of its plot — or at least its mystery — yet.
The series’ new trailer sets up a boatful of international travelers whose captain throws them off course in hopes of rescuing a lost ship called Prometheus. But when they all arrive, they find the boat has sunk and mysteriously resurfaced without a single person on board. As the investigation continues, a vast mystery begins to unravel, pointing to the boat’s greater mysteries, its disappearance, and why and how it reappeared.
1899 comes from Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar, the creators of Netflix’s exceedingly complex German-language time travel drama Dark. This series ran three seasons, but it’s not yet clear if 1899 intended to be a limited series or to continue its story over several years. 1899 brings together an international cast that includes actors like Emily Beecham (Hail, Caesar!) and aneurine Bernard (Dunkirk), as well as some actors like Andreas Pietschmann, who played important roles in Dark.
1899 will premiere on November 17 on Netflix.
