Making 1899

They mention "season 2" a couple of times in casual conversation on set, before they knew Netflix would pull the plug. So they must have hoped it would happen, very sad it isn't.

Great to see behind the scenes, all the details, costume making and hard work. They did create something very unique and cool, during a pandemic.

You'd think with such production innovation and strong cast, Netflix would be keen to continue the adventure.

Perhaps season 2 was pitched but they didn't like it. If the story became a futuristic "space" story, it would be completely different. The steamship was almost one of the characters, all those sets they built, wooden hallways and areas of the ship.

I guess it's possible they simply didn't have a strong direction for the story to take after the true nature of the simulation is revealed.
