The official trailer for Netflix’s 1899 has arrived, giving us a look at the next project from Dark co-creators Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese. Set 13 years before the Titanic‘s first and last voyage, the eight-episode mystery thriller also involves a relatively grand passenger ship — though exactly how ill-fated 1899‘s vessel is remains to be seen. Its prospects don’t look good, though.
1899 follows a ship full of European migrants sailing from London to New York in the titular year. When the crew receive what appears to be a transmission from a vessel that vanished months ago, they decide to take a detour and investigate. Unfortunately, this act of humanity quickly veers what should have been a simple seven-day trip into a disturbing, dangerous mystery.
If the trailer’s repeated triangle motif is anything to go by, the fact that the infamous Bermuda Triangle is a relatively short detour along the ship’s route will probably come into play.
1899 arrives Nov. 17 on Netflix.
