But who watched Dark knows that it can not be all that simple, and indeed the story very soon veers towards the supernatural. “The series talks about what unites us and what divides us, and how fear can trigger divisions” said the authors, just to put their finger on the sore of current events. Filming of 1899 have been made in a virtual production studio in Berlin, the largest of its kind in Europe. In the cast actors of various nations, from Andreas Pietschmann (Dark) a Miguel Bernardeau (Elite), will give Maciej Musial (The Witcher) ad Anton Lesser (Game Of Thrones) and Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen (The Rain).
