As the synopsis says: “The passengers, a mixture of European origins, [are] united by their hopes and dreams for the new century and their future abroad. But their journey takes an unexpected turn when they discover another migrant ship adrift in the open sea.. What they find on board will turn their passage to the promised land into a horrible nightmare.”
Speaking about the series, showrunners Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar said, “What really made us connect with this idea was the concept of having a truly European show with a mixed cast from different countries. At its heart is the question of what unites us and what divides us. And how fear can be a trigger for the latter.”
Who is part of the cast of 1899?
The drama is expected to feature a cast of diverse and multilingual ensembles, all of whom will speak in their own respective native languages onscreen.
