This eliminates using a green screen, drastically reducing the time needed in post-production.

For those who watchedDark, you will know the entire series was shot in the German language, with Netflix giving you the ability to play an English dub over the original if you desired. However, Odar and Friese are taking it a step further this time, with1899shooting entirely multilingual, with each actor speaking their native language.
“Being true to the cultures and languages was really important, we never wanted to have characters from different countries but everyone speaks English. We wanted to explore this heart of Europe, where everyone comes from somewhere else and speaks a different language, and language defines so much of your culture and your behavior.”
What to Expect From1899Based onDark
Darkrevolved around time travel with intertwined stories between the main cast and their families within the show. In1899Odar and Friese promised something similar but different.
“Knowing that we did Dark, everyone can be assured that this is going to be something weird and wild and crazy. We don’t repeat ourselves, we really hate that, but it’s going to be a fun puzzle for the audience. We are going back to our mystery roots. All the passengers on the ship are traveling with secrets they don’t want to get out. It’s built like a puzzle again.”
Darkwas indeed a puzzle to be solved. The plot took drastic twists and turns through its three-season run, constantly leaving fans guessing what would happen next.1899should be no different, delivering satisfying conclusions to the mysteries they set up.
