Netflix canceled the ambitious series 1899 after just one season. Fans of the mystery-horror series, on the other hand, do not seem happy with this decision.
Producer Baran bo Odar announced on Instagram that Netflix has chosen not to renew 1899 for a second season, which is about a group of immigrants traveling on a ship from England to New York. The statement reads: “As many of you know… 1899 will not be renewed for seasons 2 and 3… This fact has really ruined us all. Thank you all for watching.”
As a lot of you may already know… 1899 will not be renewed for a 2nd and 3rd season… We are all truly devastated by this fact. This photo was taken the first night I met these people. You can take away the show, but you can’t take away family🖤 Thank you all for watching

The decision came six weeks after 1899 went on the air. The series has reportedly been watched 257.2 million hours since its launch on November 17, 2022.
Set in 1899, the series is about a group of passengers on a steamship called Kerberos. On their journey to New York, Kerberos encounters the Prometheus, a ship that mysteriously disappeared months ago and sets in motion a surreal and terrifying chain of events.
Fans were understandably upset by Netflix’s decision to cancel the series. In the hours following Bo Odar’s statement, fans took to social media and called Netflix executives to reverse their decision with the hashtag #save1899. Others have filed a Change.org petition asking Netflix to greenlight two more seasons to unravel the plot. But unfortunately all these efforts will probably fail. There have been numerous canceled Netflix productions over the past few years, and the streaming giant has yet to give in to the public.
