German mystery series “1899” Premiering in Toronto Film Festival
It is the mixture with which the duo already achieved worldwide success with the “Dark” series. And the filmmakers were also celebrated by the audience at the world premiere of “1899” at the 47th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on Tuesday evening (local time). “We’re honestly pretty nervous after three seasons of Dark. This feels very fresh to us. It’s our baby,” Odar said in Toronto.

The international cast includes actors from Spain, Portugal, Denmark and Hong Kong. The cast speaks in their native language. “We feel like global citizens and we wanted to bring that feeling back and work with people from all over the world,” said Friese. This message is just as important to both of them in real life as complex entanglements on screen.
