Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, who both graduated from Munich’s University of Television & Film and previously collaborated on Odar’s feature films THE SILENCE and WHO AM I – NO SYSTEM IS SAFE, have now joined forces as co-creators and co-showrunners for DARK, the first German Netflix original series, to debut exclusively on the leading Internet TV network in late 2017. The 10-part mystery family saga is set in a German town in the present day where the disappearance of two young children exposes the double lives and fractured relationships among four families – with a surprising twist with its origins in the same town back in 1986.
