Netflix sci-fi mystery drama series 1899 debuted on the platform on Nov 17, 2022. It received decent reviews from critics and viewers. Fans were waiting for its second season but it seems that Netflix isn’t willing to move forward with the series.
1899 will not receive a second season at Netflix. The news was confirmed by series co-creator Baran bo Odar through a statement shared on his official Instagram profile. The letter to fans was also signed by Odar’s partner and series co-creator Jantje Freise.
“With a heavy heart we have to tell you that ‘1899’ will not be renewed,” Odar wrote. “We would have loved to finish this incredible journey with a second and third 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 a part of this wonderful adventure,” the statement continues. “We love you. Never forget.”

The series debuted on Netflix on Nov 17, 2022. It followed a group of immigrants aboard a ship faced with a series of mysterious events. In its first week of release, the show makes it to Netflix’s top 10 chart at the No. 2 slot, behind only “The Crown” Season 5. Within four days, 1899 garnered about 79.27 million hours of viewership.
Fans are really disappointed that Netflix has cancelled the series after just one season. They expressed their disappointment on Twitter.
“One user tweeted: “they’ve cancelled 1899 – why bother starting anything promising netflix? you enter into a piece of storytelling that is clearly multi-series, get viewers hooked, end of a massive cliffhanger and then cancel the show – f**k off. 1899 was well worth the watch, such a shame.”
Another one reacted:
“Between cancelling ‘1899’ after only 1 (pretty succesful season) and rumors ‘Wednesday’ might be moving to Amazon Prime, I must say Netflix is heading towards rock bottom!.”
Here are a few tweets which cleary signifies that fans are not happy with the cancellation:
