LOS ANGELES: Netflix's first German show "Dark" has been renewed by the streaming giant for a second season.
The series, co-created by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, is about disappearance of two young children in the German town of Winden.
"When we first heard about 'Dark', we realised very early on that we hadn't seen anything like this show before -- in Germany or anywhere else in the world.
"'Dark' is a testament that great storytelling transcends geography. We're excited that our members around the globe are captivated by the mysterious world of Winden, and will now be able to continue to see how the story unfolds," said Kelly Luegenbiehl, Vice President of International Originals for Netflix in a release.
The first season of the show debuted on Netflix on December 1 and had ten episodes. It has received positive reviews from the critics. It has also been compared to the streaming service's another popular show, "Stranger Things".
