While the author wrote a sequel book to Vongozero, the TV series departed from the course for its second series – which follows a separate group of survivors and is not based on Yana Vagner’s second novel.
Fans of Netflix have shared a ‘hidden gem’ on Netflix, rediscovering a 2019 post-apocalyptic thriller from Russia.
Featuring gritty family drama amid a bleak fight for survival, the series – which ran for eight episodes in its first series – has attracted comparison to the likes of The Walking Dead and 28 Days Later.
Furthermore, while the show’s second series aired in 2022 on the Russian platform Premier, it has yet to make its way to Netflix or Amazon Prime in the UK.
Based on a Russian novel by author Yana Vagner, To The Lake follows the aftermath of a deadly pandemic as it claims Moscow, turning the capital into a city of the dead.
