Netflix’s original series Dark will debut on the streaming service on Friday, December 1, 2017. Dark, Netflix’s first series created, shot and produced entirely in Germany, had its premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival. The series was created by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese (Who am I), and both served as showrunners on the 10 episode first season.

Dark is an incredible German story that will appeal to a global audience.” said Erik Barmack, Vice President International Originals at Netflix. “Bo and Jantje are creative talents that have developed great projects in both Berlin and Hollywood, and we are thrilled to be working with them on our first original series entirely authored, shot and produced in Germany.”

The Plot: Dark is set in a German town in present day where the disappearance of two young children exposes the double lives and fractured relationships among four families. In ten, hour-long episodes, the story takes on a supernatural twist that ties back to the same town in 1986.
