Ocean-loving and award-winning film-maker James Cameron is back on the open seas in OceanXplorers, a new documentary series which debuts on Sunday, August 18.
US: National Geographic | Hulu
UK: Disney Plus
AU: Disney Plus
OceanXplorers takes us aboard the titular ship, a scientific vessel which is tasked with exploring the furthest recesses of the oceans of the world. In each episode, the team will visit a new part of the planet to dive deep into its seas and see what's there.
The show is a National Geographic production that's been executive produced by James Cameron, and was co-created with BBC Studios Natural History Unit.
So here's how to watch OceanXplorers online or on TV.
