A success on its launch in 2017, the show’s second season landed on Netflix in June this year.

In this DQTV interview, co-creator, writer and director Boran bo Odar talks about the journey he and his showrunning partner Jantje Friese took to bring the series to television.

He also discusses the creative process behind the show, his surprise at Dark’s popularity and how they overcame writers’ block during development of season two.

Bo Odar also touches on the changing role of directors in television and explains why he’s happy the small screen puts writers into focus.

Dark is produced by Widemann & Berg for Netflix.
