Dark, the German language time travel thriller that debuted on Netflix in 2017, is set to run its second season on the streaming giant later this month.
The series focuses on four families in the fictional town of Winden, which has had a dearth of disappearances involving children. This has happened before, it turns out, and Jonas Kahnwald aims to figure out what has been happening.
There are a series of wormholes in caves beneath the town's nuclear power plant, and those wormholes allow the series to explore the secrets of the Kahnwald, Nielsen, Doppler, and Tiedemann families over three different spans of time.
The first season of Dark takes place primarily in 2019, but there are also periods of the story that take place in 1986 and 1953.
Here's a look at the second season of Dark, which debuts on June 21st on Netflix:
A missing child sets four families on a frantic hunt for answers as they unearth a mind-bending mystery that spans three generations.
When will these kids learn to stay out of the creepy time travel caves? Don't you know what happens when you mess around with creepy time travel caves?
Dark was created by Baran bo Odar and Jantje Friese, and stars Louis Hofmann as Jonas Kahnwald, Sebastian Rudolph as Michael Kahnwald, Lisa Vicari as Martha Nielsen, Mirtiz Jahn as Mikkel Nielsen, Gina Stiebitz as Franziska Doppler, Carlotta bon Falkenhayn as Elisabeth Doppler, Paul Lux as Bartosz Tiedemann, and Deborah Kaufmann as Regina Tiedemann.
Dark has been compared by some as a German take on Stranger Things, but the comparison isn't the most apt- sure, both shows cover teenagers dealing with mysterious circumstances, but Dark is very much its own beast. Besides, German story tellers have been terrifying kids for generations.
The new season is the second of three planned installments of Dark, with the third season expected to debut on Netflix at a later date.

"Love Boat Angels" was so much more than the fourth season premiere of ABC's flagship jiggle show, "Charlie's Angles". It was also mind-numbingly dull.
"Star Wars" fans seem to overwhelmingly love "The Mandalorian", which is great news for the franchise and people who really miss openly loving "Star Wars."
"Spies" slows down the action a bit on "His Dark Materials", but definitely ramps up the intrigue on BBC and HBO's adaptation of the Phillip Pullman novel.
