by

As a passionate cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that the streaming giant, Amazon Prime Video, has greenlit “Octopus!”, an enthralling two-part documentary series. Notably, this extraordinary production will be narrated and co-produced by the exceptionally talented Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

This documentary series delves into the otherworldly depths of one of Earth’s most intelligent and enigmatic life forms – the Giant Pacific Octopus. Throughout its lifespan, from birth to death, we witness the octopus through various perspectives. The characters in this piece include scientists striving to protect them, explorers seeking to comprehend them, and Tracy Morgan, an Emmy-nominated actor and comedian, who is captivated by them. As we journey with these individuals, their experiences will evoke laughter, tears, and introspection about our role on this planet.

The phrase ‘Octopus!’ comes from Wells Street Films, a production company owned by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and associated with Amazon MGM Studios, as well as Jigsaw Productions led by Alex Gibney.

As a passionate admirer, I’d rephrase it this way: “I, as a fan, can’t wait to dive into this enchanting and distinctive tale! It promises to offer a heartwarming and humorous perspective on these incredibly intelligent and fascinating animals, through the lens of Phoebe. This captivating journey not only allows us a rare, close-up glimpse at the world of octopuses, but also showcases the profound influence these magical creatures have on those who dedicate their lives to studying them.” – Said by Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios.
