Netflix is known for prematurely discontinuing popular and exciting projects after Season 1. It recently hit the new German sci-fi series 1899 by the Dark creators.
But already almost two years ago started a German sci-fi series on the streaming service, whose whereabouts we are now at least certainty to have.
No second season for sci-fi series Tribes of Europa on Netflix – despite potential for 9 seasons
Tribes of Europa was a sensation. There had never been a German series like this before. she was creatively completely detached from German series norms and delved deep into a distant future with sci-fi and fantasy elements. My colleague Hendrik Busch wrote about it at the start in February 2021:
Elaborate, gory and full of big ideas, Tribes of Europa is something like the next logical progression of German genre series.
In Tribes of Europa, three siblings got caught in the middle of a multi-tribal war. It all takes place in one Future vision of Europe, after a mysterious cataclysm brought society down. The six episodes flew by, but after that the series went quiet.
On demand the showrunner confirms Philip Koch that there will be no 2nd season:
Unfortunately, as with 1899, it will be with Tribes no second season (despite good numbers and international resonance).
Tribes of Europa joins one long list of series with good numbers but early termination a. For a few months, Netflix has been criticized even more than it already was. In the last year, 22 series have been canceled by Netflix and some of them have enjoyed great popularity among subscribers.

Netflix also keeps a low profile when it comes to cancellations. In English I often have the term for it “ghost canceling” read, in German “ghost deposition”.
In some series, the creators or the stars take it upon themselves to notify their fans. Philip Koch, for example, always answered all fans who asked on social media how his series was doing.
However, the series maker is Parted on good terms with Netflix. It’s a shame though, because Philip Koch himself saw plot lines for 8 to 9 seasons in Tribes of Europa. The great mystery of the “Black December” series will never be solved.
