Epic fantasy seris Nautilus, featuring Shazad Latif (Star Trek: Discovery) and Australian actress Georgia Flood (Apples Never Fall, Anzac Girls, House Husbands), will finally screen locally on Stan.
The series was originally commissioned by Disney and filmed in Queensland, but was later scrapped, reportedly as part of cost-cutting by the Hollywood studio.
It was later acquired in other territories by Prime Video.
The cast also features Thierry Frémont, Céline Menville, Tyrone Ngatai, Andrew Shaw, Benedict Hardie, Jacob Collins-Levy, Luke Arnold and Damien Garvey with guest appearances from Richard E Grant, Anna Torv, and Noah Taylor.
For the first time ever, Nautilus tells Jules Verne’s epic story Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea from Captain Nemo’s point of view: 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.
The ten-part series is developed and produced by Moonriver TV’s Xavier Marchand and Seven Stories’ Anand Tucker, is written and executive produced by James Dormer and is executive produced by Johanna Devereaux, Chris Loveall, Colleen Woodcock and Daisy Gilbert. Cameron Welsh serves as producer and Michael Matthews is the lead director.
Nautilus is distributed by Disney Entertainment and acknowledges the support from the Australian Government’s Location Incentive and from the Queensland Government via Screen Queensland’s Production Attraction Strategy. Digital and visual effects completed in Western Australia with support from Screenwest and the WA post-production, digital & visual effects incentive.
All episodes Friday October 25 on Stan.
