Sci-Fi enthusiasts brace for an exhilarating summer, as Star Trek's Shazad Latif takes charge in a fresh science fiction show.
The anticipation for upcoming "Star Trek" shows nears its end, with the summer months set to bring a plethora of interstellar and underwater adventures. Starting June 29 on AMC, fans can witness Shazad Latif in a captivating new series titled "Nautilus." Based on Jules Verne's novel "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," the show follows the plot of Captain Nemo seeking revenge against the East India Mercantile Company, assembling a team of prisoners to uncover a fabled Viking treasure with the help of a prototype submarine.
Starring as Nemo, Latif delivers a captivating performance that echoes his unforgettable role as Ash Tyler in "Star Trek: Discovery." With the series premiering on AMC, there is an exciting possibility of seeing Latif rejoin the franchise and potentially expand his presence in the "Trek" universe.
In addition to "Nautilus," the highly-anticipated return of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" for its third season is set for July 17 on Paramount+. The second season's dramatic cliffhanger has left fans yearning to find out the fate of the crew as they brace themselves against the Gorn.
With the confirmation of Season 4 already in production and the upcoming launch of "Starfleet Academy" in 2026, the "Trek" universe appears to be brimming with potential and promise. As fans continue to embrace shows like "The Orville" as Trek-adjacent series, it is hoped that "Nautilus" will also find a warm reception within the community.
With its mystery-filled adventure and distinct setting that takes "Trek" in a new direction by exploring terrains less traveled than space, "Nautilus" might indeed "boldly go" where no "Trek" series has gone before. Don't miss the premiere of "Nautilus" on AMC on June 29, while "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" Season 3 is slated for July 17 on Paramount+. Catch these peaks of the final frontier and experience a double dose of excitement every week.
"Starting June 29 on AMC, the daily blend of entertainment features 'Nautilus,' a riveting series based on Jules Verne's novel, which includes movies-and-tv genres such as sci-fi-and-fantasy."
"With the summer months brimming with potential and promise, 'Star Trek' fans can also look forward to the third season of 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' premiering on Paramount+ on July 17, offering another aspect of the sprawling 'Trek' universe."
