It has been more than a year since Netflix dropped the first season of "Dark." As the streaming network already renewed the thriller series for Season 2, it is a big question when it will be released.
Netflix remains mum about "Dark" Season 2, so fans are literally left in the dark. According to OtakuKart News, the show's new season started its production in 2018, but no concrete details are revealed about it yet.
The French website, Télé Star, reported "Dark" Season 2's filming was set in Berlin, and supervised by the original showrunners Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese. Netflix announced the new season's coming in a true "Dark" style by revealing a series of cryptic numbers.
The previous season ended when Jonas (Louis Hoffmann) arrived in the future with a huge catastrophe. This future is said to be what "Dark" Season 2 would be all about. In an interview with The Wrap, Odar said Gretchen's appearance and Mikkel's (Daan Lennard Liebrenz) disappearance would be explored in the new season.
Gretchen's arrival in 1986 seemed to set her journey through time that Claudia (Liza Kreuzer) might be responsible for. Mikkel's disappearance, on the other hand, might set everyone to come in 2019, which might start "Dark" Season 2 by bringing the show to the present.
Friese also teased the opening of another door in "Dark" Season 2. After Jonas' older self destroyed the wormhole, the showrunner said that they had "opened another door at the end." "But, we can't explain to you yet exactly [what that door is]," she said.
The new door is reported to play an important part as the show moves forward in "Dark" Season 2. This "other" entry might hold a new set of rules, or the set orders would be expanded to explore a new level of madness.
Jonas' travel beyond the restrictions of the 1986 wormhole seemed to imply a new journey, and Friese just proved it with the revelation of "another door." These teasers only make "Dark" Season 2 more much-awaited.
Meanwhile, Netflix has yet to announce "Dark" Season 2's official release date. However, there are speculations that it will be out later this year.
The first season filmed from October 2016 to April 2017 and took another eight months to finish editing and other post-production processes before it was released in December 2017 on Netflix. So, "Dark" Season 2 might go through the same process and might be out in late August or early September.
