Archive 81 is a sci-fi mystery show that is streaming through Netflix. The series centres around an archivist hired to restore a collection of tapes. Soon, he finds himself reconstructing the work of a filmmaker and her investigation into a dangerous cult. The show is based on a podcast of the same name, which began in 2016, and is a thrilling adaptation of the ideas within that medium.
The first season arrived on Netflix on 14 January 2022, with Archive 81 being watched for over 125 million hours within its first month on the streaming service. Fans of the show are already clamouring for a season two, which could make an appearance by the end of the year or by early 2023.
That debut season delves into the background of the series' two lead characters, Dan, played by Mamoudou Athie, and Melody, played by Dina Shihabi, while also exploring what is contained within the tapes that are being restored. Archive 81 blends horror and noir styles with supernatural elements for a truly gripping narrative.
