A ship and a mystery
Now, Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, creators of the series 1899 (instead of four letters, four numbers), they have decided to take the action at the end of the 19th century to an ocean liner, one of those that crossed the ocean full of emigrants from countless European countries who went to America in search of opportunities for a better life. The problem is that on the way, they will run into another ship and that is where the strange phenomena will begin. Or the mystery.
Now, when there is hardly half a year left until it is released (the end of 2022 is the data provided today by Netflix) Part of the cast that will participate is known. Not so much the names of the actors, but some of the identities that they will interpret in fiction. Not in vain, the cast is on this occasion one of its enormous strengths, with actresses and actors from the United Kingdom, Russia, Denmark, Germany and also Spain.
What we know about the cast
As we say, a good part of the cast is known, either from the trailer, or from the little information that exists around the series, that its history is being taken practically seriously, lest we take away some key data for its development as a gift. So it will be time to see how Netflix’s communication policy evolves to delve even deeper into a story that promises to keep us glued to the screen from the first minute and until the last.
At the moment, we only know from the official trailer released in early June, that the leading (or rather central) role could fall on the character of Maura Franklin, played by Emily Beecham, since she is the only one named in that preview and that puts some of what happens with the voiceover in context. From there, nothing more is known. Only loose names of the main cast that is available on IMDb.
That yes, the fiction is going to maintain, at least in its original version, a very clear premise that has to do with the language of each character. Being a ship full of emigrants from different countries of the continent, its creators want the dialogues between them to take place in their mother tongue Therefore, unless the dubbing decides otherwise, we will need a good amount of subtitles to understand, not only Spanish or English, but also French, German, Russian and any of the other languages present on the ship.
For now, let’s go there with some performers and the name of their confirmed roles not history, origin or importance, which are currently unknown. Are these:
