The final shot of the season is of Dan waking up in a hospital and a nurse telling him he just survived a fire at The Visser, with a television playing MTV News with Kurt Loder. I mean, I don’t know, where could he be? I would say stay tuned for Season 2.” Did Dan Just Time Travel? Netflix Where is he? Sonnenshine is staying mum on that one: “Oh my gosh. But only Melody returns to our dimension, with Samuel nowhere to be found. In the final moments in The Otherworld, we see Samuel come out of nowhere and snatch Melody out of Dan’s hands. “So I think that what we were looking for in the end, that is bringing it back to something that means something to the character… like a moment that everything changed for them and they’ve been drawn back there to revisit or relive a moment or have a different life in that moment.” The showrunner continued, alluding to “Stranger Things” by saying “it’s not the Upside Down, it’s something a little more connected to their psyche.” Where Is Samuel? “I wouldn’t say that any of those things are real, but that’s what they’re perceiving when they go into this other dimension that’s ruled by a very powerful mind-bending god or demon,” Sonnenshine explained. That was by design, and rooted in the show’s commitment to emotional storytelling. In the finale episode, we finally visit The Otherworld, but for Dan and Melody they’re transported to places from deep within their psyches rather than some hellish wasteland. But we talked a lot about where Bobbi has been and how she ended up in the situation she ended up in.” What Is The Otherworld, Exactly? Netflix “And again that was another story that we didn’t get to – in eight episodes you have only so much real estate. “That is definitely something to explore in Season 2 because the end of Season 1, they meet and nothing is really said between them yet, but obviously that is such a rich ground for their exploration,” Sonnenshine said. I think for us everything will come back to an emotional place, but that is definitely on the table for exploration and further story in a Season 2, should it happen.”Īs for Bobbi, Sonnenshine says if the show gets renewed for a second season we’ll learn more about Melody’s mother and where she’s been. “That was a thing that we just didn’t have time to get into, although we had very much mapped out all his motivation. “I think it’s something that you could expect in a second season,” Sonnenshine revealed before adding that they have Davenport’s story mapped out already. We know that the videos of Melody playing in the basement are meant to “unravel the spell” according to Bobbi, so what is Davenport’s endgame here? The true motives of Davenport remain murky through the finale episode, as he explains to Dan that there are two factions of people – those who will stop at nothing to keep Kaelego locked in The Otherworld, and those who will stop at nothing to get him out. So it feels real but it’s an invention and obviously draws upon many tropes and other ideas, but the monster or god or demon himself is our creation.” Does Davenport Want to Let Kaelego Out or Keep Him in? “This is kind of a Lovecraftian element to this show, which is an elder god or demon depending on how you look at it. “It is not anything except for my head,” Sonnenshine revealed. So, fingers crossed.” Is Kaelego Real? Netflix We love our actors so much, we love the world. “The writers are really excited to keep telling the story. The executive producer revealed that she and the writers “have been brainstorming” and already have some ideas for Season 2. And thus the season ends.īelow, we asked “Archive 81” executive producer, writer and showrunner Rebecca Sonnenshine a number of burning questions about that finale and what happens next. Melody arrives back in our dimension, in front of her mother, but Dan wakes up in the 1990s having seemingly traveled back in time. It’s at this point that it’s revealed that Bobbi – who has been posing as the groundskeeper – is actually Melody’s mother, and she agrees to help enact the ritual (she’s a Baldung witch) to try and get Melody out of The Otherworld.ĭan goes into The Otherworld, is tempted by Kaelego, finds Melody and is about to get her out when Samuel (Evan Jonigkeit) snatches her. They descend to the basement, where the Kaelego statue and ritual room have been recreated from The Visser and the mansion before that, only to have Bobbi surprise them with Davenport’s gun. ‘Archive 81': Horror Mystery Series Might Be Netflix’s Next Big Thingĭavenport turns on Dan despite admitting he likes him, pulling a gun on his young former employee, but Mark (Matt McGorry) comes to the rescue and knocks Davenport out.
