To the 1899 family,
As you may have heard, Netflix has decided not to renew 1899 for a second and third season at this time. The situation has hit all of us hard, from brand-new fans of Bo and Jantje, to fans who have experienced their work from Dark and beyond. Although 75,000 people have lent their voice petitioning Netflix to renew the show, the future of 1899 remains uncertain.
To show our support, we would like to bring the wonderful and immensely talented 1899 community together to combine all of our positive energy, love, and support for Bo, Jantje, and the cast and crew of 1899 into a fan book filled with letters, art, and other memories from the past years, which we plan to deliver to them in person.
The book will be printed in A3 size, and we will be accepting the following fan-made submissions: letters to Bo and Jantje, 1899 and Dark artworks, videos, all of which will be digitally compiled by our team.
We will be accepting submissions for the fan book via email starting now until March 1, 2023, 8pm CET. Please send your submissions to
[email protected], alongside the following information: name that you would like to be credited as, country, and social media handle (optional).
Remember: everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end.
Love from Germany and around the world

As you've probably heard, "1899" has been cancelled on Jan 2nd, 2023.
It's tragic, but there is a chance something can be done about it.
Please sign this petition to save "1899"!
Bo&Jantje put their souls to this project, and so did all of the cast and crew. It's a shame that Netflix have chosen to cancel it, not seeing the show what it is, a wonderful mind-twisting cinematographic masterpiece with a strong scenario.
Let's support their work. They deserve better. Every member of the cast and crew deserve better. And we, as the fans, deserve to get some answers, to enjoy another season or two of this amazing TV series.
Please sign the petition. We have to save it.
