Nautilus plot
Nautilus is inspired by the classic Jules Verne story, with the specific goal of telling the origin story of Captain Nemo, who AMC's press release describes as "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."
James Dormer (Strike Back) created the 10-episode series.
"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," said Ben Davis, executive vice president of original programming for AMC Networks and AMC Studios. "We are looking forward to bringing it to AMC Plus and AMC as a special television event next year."
"We are so thrilled to present the epic adventures of Captain Nemo and his legendary submarine The Nautilus alongside the other incredible AMC universes," added show producers Xavier Marchand and Anand Tucker. "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."
