1899 was a Netflix original series which aired in 2022. The story focuses on the Kerberos, a ship traveling from England to the United States, and the various passengers and crew aboard. We begin the narrative with Maura Franklin (Emily Beecham) as she reveals a letter from her brother, who seemingly made the same trip on the sister ship, the Prometheus, which was lost at sea four months prior. Each episode begins by revealing some details of the past of the various leading passengers’ histories, focusing on how all of them are running away from old errors or mistakes back in Europe. As the ship continues on its voyage, they receive a distress call from what they believe is the Prometheus and go to investigate, where they discover the ship missing all passengers save for a young boy who has a mysterious pyramid and does not speak. Maura and Captain Eyk (Andreas Pietschmann) form a bond as they try to unravel what happened to the various crew and passengers of the Prometheus. Along with the boy, we see Daniel Solace (Aneurin Barnard) board the ship, seemingly from the Prometheus. He has mysterious devices and a beetle, which he uses to manipulate the ship in odd ways. As the show progresses, we discover more areas of the ship which seemingly are memories of the various passengers and break the confines of reality. This all reveals that this ship and the world at large that the passengers are living in is a simulation and are seemingly trapped by Maura’s father, who is revealed to be watching the passengers on monitors. Before the simulation is shut down and the loop is started over for the passengers to relive, Daniel was able to modify the code and make a new reset key that will finally break Maura out of the simulation. Finally free of the simulation, Maura discovers that her and the various passengers we have been following are aboard a space ship named the Prometheus in the year 2099.
