Nautilus Trailer Reveals Captain Nemo’s Explosive Origin Story on AMC

by

AMC has unveiled a fresh trailer for its forthcoming series titled “Nautilus“, which serves as a prequel to Jules Verne’s renowned novel, “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea“. The production of “Nautilus” has been an unusual journey. Previously produced by Disney, the series was later acquired by Prime Video, but it was only broadcast in the UK and Ireland. Now, approximately a year after its initial release date, “Nautilus” is set to debut on AMC for American viewers on June 29. Drawing inspiration from Jules Verne’s novel, a cornerstone of classic science fiction literature, “Nautilus” delves into the backstory of the legendary Captain Nemo featured in the book.

The American Media Corporation unveiled a new teaser for the upcoming release of “Nautilus” in the US. This trailer introduces Nemo, a prisoner under British rule in India, who steals the world’s first submarine, the Nautilus. He then gathers a group of misfits to navigate this groundbreaking vessel, evading capture by the British Empire while plotting revenge against his country’s oppressors. The storyline involves Nemo and his crew embarking on underwater and land adventures, such as battling a giant electric eel, discovering submerged cities, and engaging in gunfights on horseback. “Nautilus” appears to draw inspiration from “Pirates of the Caribbean,” promising a thrilling journey filled with adventure.

What Nautilus’ Newest Trailer Means For The AMC+ Show

Nautilus May Resonate More With American Audiences Than European Viewers

It appears that AMC’s latest teaser for the show Nautilus aspires to reach heights comparable to revisiting one of the iconic 19th-century science fiction novels. To put it simply, Nautilus is aiming for greatness and is promising a thrilling journey filled with witty humor, a fascinating mix of sci-fi and fantasy elements. The trailer further suggests that characters beyond Captain Nemo, such as Humility Lucas (portrayed by Georgia Flood), will be featured. This hints at the series being more of an ensemble piece similar to Star Trek.

The new trailer for Nautilus could potentially attract more American viewers compared to its reception in Europe, as AMC might be aiming to underscore the series’ resemblance to Pirates of the Caribbean, focusing on adventure and fantasy elements to draw a broader audience. The humor in Nautilus may resonate better with American humor sensibilities than it did with British and Irish viewers, and this trailer effectively showcases that aspect as well.

Our Take On Nautilus’ First Trailer & U.S. Debut

I’m Cautiously Optimistic About Nautilus’ Sense Of Adventure & Humor

The initial American trailer for Nautilus appears intriguing, yet I’m cautiously optimistic about the series. Given its unusual production and distribution timeline, a groundbreaking sci-fi show isn’t typically successful. Moreover, its underperformance in its European premiere is concerning. Nevertheless, the new trailer from AMC for Nautilus has sparked some hope that the show will offer excitement, adventure, and perhaps a sprinkle of humor. We’ll have to wait and see, but there’s a chance that Nautilus might exceed expectations.
