Katla is a story about a community living in the shadow of a glacial volcano that has been erupting for more than a year. The series is named after that volcano, but it isn't just about the threat of disaster: when people presumed missing or dead start showing up, things take a mysterious turn. The show takes us on a supernatural journey that deals with the impacts of grief and trauma, and combines them with folklore elements and a sprinkling of sci-fi. This Netflix original series was created by award-winning director Baltasar Kormakur and shot in the Icelandic coastal town of Vik, which borders the real-life Katla. The first episode introduces us to several overlapping storylines-a woman covered in ash emerges out of the blue, another woman grapples with the loss of her sister, and a team of scientists works towards understanding the changing geology of the volcano.
