David Farrier says a second season of Dark Tourist depends on "how this season goes".
Tweeting in response to questions over whether the Netflix series will receive a second order, Farrier encouraged people to support the show.
"A lot of questions about a season 2," he said. "It all comes down to how this season goes... so, tell your friends, non-friends, family & total strangers to give it a hoon.
"Thanks for all the lovely feedback, thanks for going exploring with me!"
Dark Tourist is New Zealand's first Netflix original series. In an interview with the Herald, Farrier said filming the show had an affect on his sleeping patterns.
"I can't nap anymore... Do you ever get that thing... you have a little nap in the afternoon and your head's in this dopey state and then it suddenly hits you out of nowhere; 'OH F**K ME I'M GONNA DIE!'."
"Oh God... I can't sleep. I can't sleep anymore. My life sucks now."
