What To Know About Nautilus
In this captivating storyline, Nautilus traces the journey of Latif's Nemo, an Indian Prince stripped of his rightful inheritance and separated from his family. Imprisoned by the East India Company, Nemo embarks on a mission to seek revenge against those responsible for his profound losses. Setting sail with a diverse and unconventional crew aboard the Nautilus, Nemo not only confronts his adversaries but also stumbles upon a mesmerizing and enchanting underwater realm.
Joining Latif in this thrilling live-action series are a talented ensemble cast, including Georgia Flood, Thierry Frémont, Pacharo Mzembe, Arlo Green, Tyrone Ngatai, Ling Cooper Tang, Andrew Shaw, Ashan Kumar, Céline Menville, and Kayden Price.

This opportunity is particularly noteworthy as not many cancelled shows are granted a second chance.
Editor's P/S
As a fan of the show, I was disappointed to hear that it had been canceled by Disney+. However, I am excited that AMC has picked it up and will be airing it in 2024. I think this is a great opportunity for the show to find a new audience and for fans of the show to see it continue.
I am also excited to see Shazad Latif in the role of Nemo. I think he is a great actor and I am sure he will bring a lot to the role. I am also interested to see how the show will be different on AMC than it would have been on Disney+. I think AMC is a great network for the show and I am sure it will do well there.
