The show’s creators Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese are known for their thought provoking series.
The duo were also the minds behind Netflix’s Dark.
The critically acclaimed show is about a young girl who goes missing from a fictional German village and in the aftermath of her disappearance, a sinister time travel plot is revealed.
But the pair pointed out that 1899 is very different to Dark.
In an interview, bo Odar said: “We knew we didn’t want to make a second Dark. Dark was an almost melancholy series.
“1899 has a wildly fast tempo. The ship is always moving and that translates onto the whole show.
“It’s about a journey; the characters aren’t standing still, and on the ship itself, everything is always moving.
“The plot has so much energy. We like it. We were really impressed with even the first draft. It’s like a sort of polar opposite to Dark.”
1899 is available to stream on Netflix.
