After the colossal success of last year’s The OA and Stranger Things, Netflix has announced another new sci-fi series. The show, titled Dark, sticks to the tried-and-tested themes of its predecessors, setting itself up as a supernatural story about vanishing children.

The minute-long trailer offers a teaser of the grim plot. Children, it seems, are mysteriously disappearing from a small German town, with some suggesting that they are being “swallowed by the earth”. Viewers are then shown flashes of a car crash, some misty woodlands, and a field of dead sheep.

“A missing child sets four families on a frantic hunt for answers,” reads the official synopsis. “Their search for a culprit unearths a small town’s sins and secrets.”

The show, which is Netflix’s first German production, is part of a new $1.75 billion wave of European projects coming to the streaming service. Also on the way is Spanish period drama Las Chicas del Cable, and Italian crime thriller Suburra. 

Dark will premiere on Netflix in the winter. Watch the first trailer above.
