Netflix, a land of opportunities
Faced with the demand for a season 2, Netflix shared its plans for the series Tribes of Europa.

If you have passed by Mortal Engines, here is the speech of the film. Diving in an apocalyptic world after a nuclear disaster, humanity had to adapt to a new way of life and began to build gigantic mobile cities. The bigger ones are trying to absorb the smaller ones in a merciless power struggle. In this context, the city of London dominates Europe. But everything will change, when a young woman and her rebellious friends will turn the future upside down and modify the balance of forces present.
