"Episode details, sneak peek, characters, storyline, and all the known facts about the upcoming Nautilus dramatic series"
In a surprising turn of events, the highly-anticipated TV series, Nautilus, inspired by Jules Verne's classic Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, will no longer be premiering on Disney+. Instead, it has found a new home on AMC.
Initially, Nautilus was expected to captivate audiences with its sweeping drama, featuring the epic adventures of Captain Nemo and his crew, battling terrifying creatures and the dark forces of the British Empire. The series, which is expected to appeal to fans of AMC's Anne Rice Immortal Universe and other series like Orphan Black: Echoes, will now make its debut on AMC and AMC+.
Shazad Latif, known for his roles in movies like What's Love Got to Do With It?, The Commuter, and The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, as well as TV series Star Trek: Discovery, Penny Dreadful, and Toast of London, stars as Captain Nemo in Nautilus. He will be joined by a talented cast, including Richard E. Grant, Anna Torv, Noah Taylor, Georgia Flood, Thierry Fremont, and Céline Menville.
The series' producers, Xavier Marchand and Anand Tucker, have worked tirelessly to bring this adaptation to life. James Dormer, the creator of the 10-episode series, has crafted a story that promises to be a special television event.
The reasons for Disney+ canceling the series have not been officially detailed, but such changes often involve shifts in strategic content choices or distribution plans by streaming platforms. After Disney+ dropped the series, AMC acquired the distribution rights for the United States and Canada. Nautilus will premiere on AMC and AMC+ on June 29, 2025, with two episodes airing initially and further episodes releasing weekly.
In the United Kingdom and Ireland, Amazon Prime Video acquired the series in August 2024 and released it on October 25, 2024. In other European countries, it was released in mid-October 2024, with Sweden airing it earlier in June 2024.
To watch Nautilus on AMC, you need a pay-TV or live TV streaming provider that carries AMC, which includes Sling TV and YouTube TV. The trailer for the series is already available for viewing, offering a tantalising glimpse of the epic adventures that await.
AMC's press release describes Captain Nemo as "an Indian Prince robbed of his birthright and family, a prisoner of the East India Mercantile Company and a man bent on revenge against the forces that have taken everything from him." With such a compelling premise and a talented cast, Nautilus promises to be an unmissable addition to AMC's lineup.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new series!
