Netflix fans ask 'what's the point' as popular show cancelled after just one season

Netflix fans have asked 'what's the point' after the streaming service cancelled a popular show after just one season.

There will be no follow-up to mystery drama 1899, which chronicled a group of immigrants travelling from London to New York on a steamship after getting caught up in a supernatural riddle in the middle of the sea. The show, which had eight episodes, was created by Dark showrunners Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar.

It starred Emily Beecham, Aneurin Barnard, Andreas Pietschmann and Gabby Wong and racked up 79.27 million hours viewed in its first three days alone. Baran said 'millions of fans' would be disappointed as he shared the news on Monday (January 2).
