Nautilus Coming to AMC and AMC+ in 2024

Nautilus, a 10-episode, live-action series inspired by Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, is coming to AMC and AMC+ in 2024.

TV Line mentions the show was “commissioned and scrapped by Disney+ in an effort to cut costs.” Like Nautilus, Disney+ also scrapped The Spiderwick Chronicles series, which found a new home on The Roku Channel earlier this month.

AMC Networks licensed the U.S. and Canadian linear and streaming rights to Nautilus, a series from Disney Entertainment, to air as a special television event. It stars Shazad Latif, Georgia Flood, Thierry Fremont, and Céline Menville, with guest appearances from Richard E Grant, Anna Torv, and Noah Taylor. 

Nautilus “tells the origin story of the iconic Captain Nemo: 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,” per its official description.

“Nautilus is a big, sweeping drama that is sure to appeal to fans of our Anne Rice Immortal Universe and other buzzy and fan-forward series like Orphan Black: Echoes,” Ben Davis, executive vice president of original programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios, said.

“We are looking forward to bringing it to AMC+ and AMC as a special television event next year,” Davis added.

“We are so thrilled to present the epic adventures of Captain Nemo and his legendary submarine The Nautilus alongside the other incredible AMC universes,” Xavier Marchand, CEO, Moonriver, and Anand Tucker, CEO, Seven Stories, commented.

“The series will take viewers on a breathtaking journey with Nemo and his crew, battling terrifying creatures and the dark forces of the British Empire,” Stories continued.

“I am hugely excited that the efforts of everyone involved in the making of the show will be seen on such a prestigious network,” James Dormer, executive producer and writer, added.

Developed and produced by Moonriver TV’s Xavier Marchand and Seven Stories’ Anand Tucker, Nautilus is written and executive produced by James Dormer. Johanna Devereaux, Chris Loveall, Colleen Woodcock, and Daisy Gilbert executive produce.

Cameron Welsh produces, and Michael Matthews is the lead director of the epic adventure series. Disney Entertainment distributes the series and acknowledges the support from the Australian Government’s Location Incentive and from the Queensland Government via Screen Queensland’s Production Attraction Strategy.
