Bo and Jantje spoke about the cancelation of 1899 in an interview with O Globo: βThe cancellation of β1899β has changed the way we think about our projects. Things have changed a lot in the industry and in society, especially in the way people produce and consume content.β
For reference: 1899 worked with the Alice in Wonderland theme from the beginning featuring it also in the intro song. In Stranger Things, they included a clear reference to Alice in Wonderland with Holly and Henry.
Regarding what happened with SIKTC: βSIKTC was previously set up at the streamer as a series. Netflix passed on it at the end of 2024 after opting not to move forward following extensive development with both Mike Flanagan, as well as Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese.β
@SkyeFirehart Netflix owns the rights. Iβm pretty sure they canβt do anything that will make them profit off it without the permission to do so. Not sure how the regulations are exactly though.
@mikekaraoke23 Numbers are not the same. Itβs the completion rate that matters. When many start it and not finish it, thatβs βbadβ. Whether we like this strategy or not. I do have to admit that 1899 had a rough start though.
