Netflix’s decision to cancel ‘1899’ has drawn fans’ fury!
Despite being among Netflix’s most-watched series and ending on a cliffhanger, “1899” joins the ranks of shows the streamer has unjustly canceled after one season.
The showrunners of Netflix mystery hit “Dark” — announced their new series had been canceled after just one season.
“With a heavy heart, we have to tell you that ‘1899’ will not be renewed,” read the pair’s statement, posted on Instagram.
“We would have loved to finish this incredible journey with a second and third season as we did with Dark. But sometimes things don’t turn out the way you planned. That’s life.”

Dear @Netflix – I personally know how it feels to have your series canceled on a cliffhanger. It's deeply heartbreaking. So trust me when I say: Canceling 1899 goes against audience desire, finality & the magic of cinema. So keep cinema magic alive & renew #1899Netflix#Save1899 pic.twitter.com/2OmbUY6Kpj

“1899” is not the first Netflix series with a strong fan following to get the ax recently.
“Resident Evil” was canned after a single season, and “Warrior Nun” after two seasons.
1899 series was launched in November 2022 with a full-on media blitz. The show garnered sterling critical reviews worldwide and according to Netflix’s own charts.
It debuted at number one on the streaming platform in 55 countries.
