Horror-Mystery Series “1899” Cancelled at Netflix After Just One Season
Another Netflix series is no more, as we’ve learned that the brand new horror series “1899” – which just premiered back in November – has already been axed after a single season.
The horror-mystery series was from the creators of Netflix’s “Dark,” billed as a “visually stunning Odyssee where nothing is as it seems” and starring Emily Beecham.
In Netflix’s “1899,” “On their journey across the vast and treacherous Atlantic Ocean, the passengers of the Kerberos encounter the biggest mystery of their lives.”
Joe Lipsett wrote in his 4-star review for BD, “1899 is a polished, compelling period mystery. There’s plenty of intrigue wrapped up in the events of the disappearing ship, as well as the diverse cast of characters whose futures become intertwined in its reappearance.” Joe also raved in his review, “There’s nothing else quite like 1899 on TV right now.”
“1899” came from creators Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese.
The duo said in a statement today, “We would have loved to finish this incredible journey with a 2nd and 3rd season as we did with Dark. But sometimes things don’t turn out the way you planned. That’s life. We know this will disappoint millions of fans out there. But we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts that you were part of this wonderful adventure.”
Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.
Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.
Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…
“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.
We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.
“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
