“Dark,” a family saga with a supernatural twist, will debut exclusively on Netflix in 2017, Bloody Disgusting learned.
The first German production from the world’s leading Internet TV Network is set in a German town in present day where the disappearance of two young children exposes the double lives and fractured relationships among four families.
In ten, hour-long episodes, the story takes on a supernatural twist that ties back to the same town in 1986.
“Dark” is directed by Baran bo Odar, whose latest critically-acclaimed film Who Am I – No System is Safe, starring Tom Schilling and Elyas M’Barek, was a German box office sensation. Who Am I premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2014, won three German Movie Awards and the Bambi for “Best German Film.”
Odar explains: “As “Dark” will be an ensemble mystery series, I especially look forward to discovering and working with new German talent. This will be a fantastic ride and I can’t wait to get started.”
Production is expected to start in 2016 with the series debut worldwide on Netflix in 2017.
