Watch the New Trailer for Prime Video’s Jules Verne-Inspired Nautilus!

I have always been captivated by the stories of Captain Nemo, a character whose adventures in Jules Verne’s classic Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea have fascinated readers and inspired Hollywood for over a century, dating back to the silent film era. With his forward-thinking intellect and advanced technology, Nemo often felt like a man ahead of his time, a visionary from the 20th century navigating the rigid confines of the Victorian era.

Building on Verne’s legendary adventure, AMC’s upcoming series Nautilus offers a fresh take on the tale by shifting the focus to Nemo’s perspective, portrayed by Shazad Latif. The story begins with Nemo’s dramatic capture of the iconic Nautilus submarine and sets the stage for an epic, high-seas pursuit as the vessel’s original owners chase him down. The series promises to deliver a thrilling, swashbuckling adventure, blending intense action with rich storytelling.

Ben Davis, AMC Networks’ executive vice president of original programming, remarked, “Nautilus is a grand, sweeping drama that will captivate fans of Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe.” The trailer showcases the main cast, including Shazad Latif, Georgia Flood, Thierry Fremont, and Céline Menville, alongside guest stars like Richard E. Grant, Anna Torv, and Noah Taylor, all of whom contribute to the show’s ambitious and exciting vision.
