One year after the outbreak of a violent eruption of the subglacial volcano Katla, the peace and tranquility in the small town of Vík has been dramatically disturbed with the eruption still active. The ice near the volcano has been melting, the area has been evacuated and only a few remaining people manage to provide the necessary community service in the village, which is now only accessible by crossing the Markarfljót river.
The grand area has turned out to be somewhat apocalyptic and Vík is declared a danger zone. Mysterious elements, that have been deeply frozen into the glacier from prehistoric times, start to emerge from the melting ice with consequences no one could ever have foreseen.
Sorry, no info about the next episode of Katla is available yet.
The TV show is either in vacation or waiting to start their new season. When information about future episodes becomes available, it will be posted here.
But I think that was spoilt in not ending at season 1
I watched that Norwegian show. The first season was fine-ish. But this Katla imo is done way better. Hard to formulate, but Americans have managed to figure out how to wrap any crap in a shiny wrapping paper, a lot of European shows (including made in my country) lack that. They simply are falling behind on know-how and experience, so this one had all the usual Northern Europe vibes, but felt that it has that US standard of production.
Also, there is the language barrier, because any show which is not initially made in English will lose bits in translation to English, because there simply are language constructs which you cannot translate precisely. Even in this show you could see that dubbed text and subtitles often match just in general meaning. The same is when English speaking countries try to play with Orchish language in random spy/evil guys shows - they simply are not aware what words or sequences of words have what weight/meaning (or they cheap out on consultants).
I think that will be the only show to come from Iceland. a one off?

Finished watching S01. Unexpected from Island, this show easy is on par with American shows, a good job for 300k people nation. Also shazamed soundtrack which is done by a band from Island - MAMMÚT. We need more of European culture in the mix, especially since US is losing the grip :)

Listened to them a bit. not bad. Y'think maybe, just maybe, they like Bjork & the Sugarcubes? just a tad?
There in YT comments was said that they have a connection to Bjork.

I have now finished this show and it really is worth watching with an interesting angle on "Changelings" of Icelandic folklore.
Question which Grima killed her self?
The original one, who gave up playing piano. Also it was shown that the spawned one (different color top) had the try before it was mathematically clear that the next will be the killshot.

The last ep took very dark turns :) And the boy pulled off some very authentic Chucky vibes.
