A brand-new poster for 1899 hints at the mystery at the core of the upcoming thriller drama.

Take a very close look at the artwork below:

In the poster, you can see Maura Franklin (Emily Beecham) falling into the ocean — or is she rising into the sky?

Maura is flanked by two ships — one is the Kerberos, on which she is a passenger — and another vessel. Is the second ship a reflection of the Kerberos or something else?

And what about the triangle created by the different angles and behind the logo? There’s the popular maritime myth of the Bermuda Triangle, where ships are lost and never found. Does the Bermuda Triangle have any role in 1899?

You’ll find out next month when the eight-episode series debuts on Netflix.

The description that accompanied last month’s teaser reads:

From creators Jantje Friese and Baran bo Odar of Dark comes 1899, a new mystery-thriller series that’s about to set sail. At the end of the 19th century, passengers journey from London to New York, looking forward to a new life that awaits them in the New World. When their ship comes across another one adrift at sea, all their hopes and dreams turn into an unexpected nightmare. Set out to be a multi-language series, the international cast includes Emily Beecham, Aneurin Barnard, Andreas Pietschmann, Miguel Bernardeau, Maciej Musial, Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen, Rosalie Craig, Clara Rosager, Maria Erwolter, Yann Gael, Mathilde Ollivier, José Pimentão, Isabella Wei, Gabby Wong, Jonas Bloquet, Fflyn Edwards, Alexandre Willaume and Anton Lesser.
