Fans also shared their sadness, with one person writing: "Why would Netflix choose to hurt itself by canceling brilliant shows? 1899 was one of the most incredible shows I have ever watched," while another added: "Netflix canceled their best show, then I’m going to cancel my subscription."
A third commented: "Is there any chance it could get picked up by someone else? Please, we need the story in its entirety!"
The new show, which was created by Baran along with Jantje Friese, tells of the mysterious events during the voyage of an emigrant ship from Europe to New York, following a group of immigrants in search of new opportunities.
The synopsis continues: "When they discover a second ship on the open sea that has been missing for months, their journey takes an unexpected turn. What they find on board turns their crossing to the promised land into a nightmarish mystery. A web of secrets seems to tie the past of each passenger together."
