LOS ANGELES — “Hindenburg,” Netflix’s newest limited series about the infamous airship disaster, has come out as an anthology series. The surprise announcement comes on the heels of the hit show smashing ratings records.
“I’m incredibly excited to reveal this side of Hindenburg,” said Rami Nasser, the sole creator and showrunner. “The chains of my shame have finally been broken. I no longer have to pretend Hindenburg was just telling the story about one disaster. Don’t you worry, Hindenburg will be around for a long time.”
Following the announcement fans were quick to offer their support and encouragement.
“I’m so proud Hindenburg is out living its truth,” said Madelyn Hope Carter, a self-described anthology show activist on a recent TikTok video. “Coming out as an anthology series is not an easy thing to do in today’s social climate. Sending virtual hugs and love to the entire Hindenburg team. We hear you. We see you. We love you.”
However, not everybody was thrilled to hear the news. Hunter Maddox, a youth group minister and television critic for the website Screen & Scripture wrote a lengthy think piece denouncing the announcement.
“What a disgrace,” bemoaned Maddox. “Hindenburg told a very specific story and even named their show after said specific disaster and now we’re going to pretend that adding on the subtitle “An American Disaster” means it’s secretly been an anthology show this entire time? Why does every popular show these days feel the need to shove this lie in our faces? Oh, the humanity! This demonic trend needs to end!”
At press time, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos wanted to make it known that he could tell “Hindenburg” was an anthology series the entire time because has a knack for that sort of thing.
