Nautilus Trailer: Captain Nemo Makes Waves In AMC's Jules Verne-Inspired Adventure Drama — Watch
Nautilus is ready to take the plunge this summer.
TVLine has learned that the British adventure drama will (at long last) debut Sunday, June 29 at 9/8c on AMC and AMC+, with its first two episodes. Additional episodes will premiere weekly on Sundays, leading to a double-episode season finale on Aug. 17.
Watch the newly released full-length trailer above, and check out some first-look photos below.
Inspired by the Jules Verne novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Nautilus tells the origin story of the iconic Captain Nemo, an Indian prince robbed of his birthright and family. Imprisoned by the East India Mercantile Company, he becomes a man bent on revenge against the forces that have taken everything from him.
In said revenge mission, Nemo audaciously steals a prototype submarine from the penal colony in which he is imprisoned, escaping into the ocean with a motley crew of fellow prisoners. "He plans to reach the fabled Viking treasure buried at the Pillars of Halvar," the official synopsis tells us. "But first, he must win the trust of his crew, and keep out of the clutches of the ruthless East India Mercantile Company, who will do whatever it takes to stop him."
Shazad Latif (Star Trek: Discovery) stars as the iconic Captain Nemo, leading a cast that also includes Georgia Flood (Apples Never Fall) as Humility Lucas, Céline Menville (Emily in Paris) as Loti and Thierry Frémont (Liaison) as Benoit. Additionally, Richard E. Grant (Loki), Anna Torv (Fringe) and Noah Taylor (Preacher) make guest appearances.
After being commissioned and scrapped by Disney+ (in an effort to cut costs), Nautilus was picked up by AMC in October 2023.
"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," AMC Networks originals EVP Ben Davis said at the time of the acquisition. Added series creator James Dormer: "I am hugely excited that the efforts of everyone involved in the making of the show will be seen on such a prestigious network."
Dormer, Johanna Devereaux, Chris Loveall, Colleen Woodcock and Daisy Gilbert executive-produced Nautilus, with Cameron Welsh, Xavier Marchand and Anand Tucker serving as producers and Michael Matthews on board as lead director.
