Story Details Of 1899
The story follows a group of immigrants from Europe as they make their way to New York. The passengers hail from a variety of countries in Europe, and they are all bound together by the common goal of establishing a new life in a different continent.
They anticipate a trouble-free journey and the dawn of a new century with optimism, but they unexpectedly come across another migrant ship at sea that has been lost for months.
A fascinating web of secrets was revealed as a result of this interaction, some of which are specific to the passengers. Indeed, it appears that everyone is escaping from something. Maura Franklin, a passenger who has been described as enigmatic, occupies a central position (Emily Beecham).
The fact that these passengers are from all over Europe, including Poland, France, Germany, Spain, and England, contributes to the confusion. Because of the cultural conflict, some people find it difficult to communicate clearly.
What Language Will 1899 Be In?
Each actor will speak in their native tongue in the series 1899, according to showrunners Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese. Additionally, Netflix will offer it in that manner. Odar and Friese made it very apparent that they take the linguistic issue seriously and strive to accurately portray every linguistic and cultural feature.
Is There A Trailer For The Series?
Netflix hasn’t yet released the complete trailer, but on June 6, 2022, a minute-long teaser was posted to give viewers a taste of what to expect. Dark fans will be accustomed to the frequent usage of mysterious symbols and odd-looking relics. It is back in the series 1899 once more. In the opening scene, a group of passengers is seen looking perplexed as a voice asks why they believe they are on this ship.
They all seem to be fleeing from something in response. The interaction between the passenger and another ship is shown in the events that follow. This ship seems to be carrying frightening things. There are scenes with stunning costume designs and visual effects that reflect the project’s sophistication. It leaves you with more questions than answers, as is typical with teasers, and because it is a mystery horror, the lack of answers is even more obvious. Have a look at the teaser video down below!
