A different ending to the novel
Adapted from Frank Schetzing’s bestseller, which has sold more than 3.8 million copies worldwide, Abyss has an ending that differs from the one written by the author. In the series, scientists discover that it is possible to poison Yrr with ketamine.
But the destruction of naval intelligence means the end of humanity. They then come up with the idea of injecting Yrr into a human to show the intelligence that they are part of it. Charlie Wagner (Leonie Benesh) decides to sacrifice himself.

The epilogue reveals that a year later, humanity has slowly recovered from its conflict with the team. The knowledge that humans are not the only intelligent life form on Earth has thrown most religious groups into chaos, while parts of the world continue to suffer from an epidemic sent by the Yrr to destroy the threat.

Season 2 will focus on one of the characters returning as a kind of messiah, Doelger continues. “But all this is far in the future“- explains the showrunner, who specifies that nothing has been recorded yet.
