‘Nautilus’ Trailer Drops for Series Inspired by ‘20,000 Leagues Under the Sea,’ Coming to AMC and AMC+ in June

by

The timeless story by Jules Verne about underwater expeditions, titled ‘Nautilus’, is set to receive a modern take. I’m eagerly awaiting the reinterpretation of Captain Nemo’s realm, combining thrilling oceanic adventures with a raw portrayal of the struggle for liberty. This new rendition promises to etch its own unique mark, plunging into a historical conflict between power and rebellion.

1857 serves as the backdrop for this series, where the British East India Company exerts brutal dominance, amassing wealth and commanding private armies. We delve into the lives of a band of prisoners, guided by a cunning and vengeful leader, who take control of an innovative submarine vessel. Their daring escape into the ocean ignites a gripping chase, filled with peril both above and beneath the surface. The series promises visually stunning underwater scenes—think colossal marine life and unexplored depths—combined with pulse-pounding battles against a relentless adversary.

This story is vividly portrayed as Shazad Latif assumes the role of Captain Nemo, accompanied by Georgia Flood, Céline Menville, Luke Arnold, Kayden Price, and Arlo Green. Notable guest stars like Richard E. Grant, Anna Torv, and Noah Taylor lend additional depth to the ensemble cast.

James Dormer was the one who brought the series to life, with Michael Matthews, Ben C. Lucas, and Isabelle Sieb at the helm of each episode. Initially developed for Disney+, the show ‘Nautilus’ moved to AMC following a temporary pause in 2023.

I’m captivated by the storyline so far, where Nemo is portrayed as an Indian prince who’s lost everything and is now leading a motley crew in a rebellion. The submarine they use, constructed under forced labor and designed for warfare, serves as their means of revolt. It’s not just about escape for them; they’re on a mission to overthrow an empire while hunting for a mythical Viking treasure. All the while, they must evade the East India Company and its wrath. The trailer offers stunning glimpses of whales and colossal squid, suggesting the amazing discoveries and dangers they may encounter.

Save the date! The series ‘Nautilus’ is set to debut on June 29, airing simultaneously on AMC and AMC+. The premiere will consist of two exciting episodes, followed by a total of ten episodes filled with drama, revenge, and breathtaking underwater scenes. This pirate-adventure could very well be the thrilling escape we’ve been eagerly waiting for.
