This sci-fi thriller returns for the second season with a grittier, scarier and pulsating plot, sure to keep the audiences on its toes. While retaining its original lineup including Oliver Masucci, Karoline Eichhorn, Jördis Triebel, Louis Hofmann as actors, the story continues to create an element of intrigue.
