The deep sea is calling in the first teaser for Nautilus, a new adventure series inspired by Jules Verne’s landmark novel, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
“This summer, dive into a new adventure and discover a new world beneath the waves,” the voiceover states in the trailer. Shazad Latif stars as Captain Nemo, an Indian Prince robbed of his birthright and family. After becoming a prisoner of the East India Mercantile Company, Nemo seeks vengeance against those enemies who robbed him of everything.
Nemo enacts his revenge-fueled plan by stealing a prototype submarine and escaping into the depths of the ocean with a group of his fellow prisoners. Nemo searches for a Viking treasure buried at the Pillars of Halvar. However, the East India Mercantile Company is right on Nemo’s tail, as they will do anything to stop his quest from succeeding.
The Nautilus cast features Georgia Flood as Humility Lucas, Céline Menville as Loti, and Thierry Fremont as Benoit. Richard E. Grant, Anna Torv, and Noah Taylor are set to make guest appearances.
Xavier Marchand and Anand Tucker developed and executive produced Nautilus. James Dormer wrote and executive produced the series.
Disney+ had originally announced the series, but they later canceled it in a cost-cutting move. AMC later acquired the series for distribution in the United States and Canada. Amazon streamed the series via Prime Video in the UK and Ireland.
Nautilus consists of 10 episodes, with the first two set to premiere at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Sunday, June 29. It will air on AMC and AMC+. Nautilus will then air weekly until the two-episode season finale on Sunday, August 17.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
