This Could Be Why Netflix Canceled ‘1899’, The Series From The Creators Of ‘DARK’

After his mega success with the worldwide phenomenon ‘DARK’, Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese are back on Netflix to present a new puzzle series titled ‘1899’ which was supposed to have 3 seasons on the streaming platform but surprisingly the streaming giant decided to cancel it thus disappointing thousands of fans.

The official reason why Netflix has decided to cancel the series ‘1899’ It is not known, and the news has been released because the creators of the story have released a statement through social networks confirming that season 2 and 3 have been rejected by the streaming platform and now the story will not have its deserved end to explain in the detail what happens in the life of the ship’s passengers.

However, the most logical reason for the cancellation of this, and any other series like ‘Warrior Nun’, could be because it doesn’t meet the viewership reach that the company expects. The problem is that to measure this metric, Netflix relies on the first 28 days of broadcasting since its premiere, which is sometimes not enough to capture the attention of the entire audience, especially if there is more than one “mega premiere”. in the same week.

According to an analysis published by ColliderNetflix would have been responsible for the series “1899” not being as successful as expected, not only due to its weak promotional campaign and lack of recognized stars in the cast, but also because it premiered just days before a ‘another of the most awaited series of the year: ‘Merlina’.

‘Merlina’ may have caused ‘1899’ to be deleted

The premiere of ‘1899’ was on November 17, 2022, while ‘merlin’ debuted on the 23rd, just days after the series from the creators of ‘DARK’, so it was overshadowed by the success of the daughter of the Locos Addams, who not only has a franchise with a long history behind it, but also a’ excellent advertising campaign and Tim Burton’s signature to ensure its success.

Obviously it is impossible to directly blame ‘Merlina’ for the cancellation of ‘1899’, however, if Netflix compared the success of this series with that of ‘1899’ to decide the renewal, it was more than evident that it would end by canceling the story of Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friesealthough curiously a second season has not been confirmed for the story of the daughter of the Locos Addams starring Jenna Ortega.

Another aspect that may have caused the cancellation of ‘1899’ is that it is a series with a complicated storyline and difficult to understand, which makes the 28 days metric unfair to calculate its success and should have been measured differently to ensure its return to the streaming platform and give it time to become a new global phenomenon like ‘DARK’ in 2017, but now sadly fans will never know where the story ends.
