Disney+ Canceling Nautilus 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Series

Today brought another casualty for Disney+ when it was announced that the UK based Captain Nemo project “Nautilus” was not moving forward. Disney announced in May that it would be scaling back on upcoming shows and content on the platform as part of a content write-off. All of these moves are a part of a larger plan mentioned by Disney CEO Bob Iger who hinted that Disney will scrutinize its content offerings moving forward.

Disney also announced that it would be canceling “Doogie Kamealoha M.D.” after two seasons and has pulled “The Spiderwick Chronicles” from the streamer before airing even a single episode. “Spiderwick” had completed production, but the show will never air.

Like The Spiderwick Chronicles, Nautilus has been filmed; it started shooting back in February of 2022 over in Australia. Nautilus was announced during the 2021 Edinburgh TV Festival. Disney+ is working with the production team to find a new berth for Nautilus at another studio.

Disney has a storied history with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. This classic Disney film released in 1954, based on Jules Verne’s novel of the same name. This captivating adventure followed the journey of Captain Nemo and his technologically advanced submarine, the Nautilus, as they explore the depths of the ocean.

The film combined elements of science fiction, exploration, and maritime intrigue, offering audiences a visually stunning underwater world filled with exotic creatures and mysteries. With its innovative special effects for its time, charismatic performances, and a timeless sense of wonder, Disney’s “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” continues to be celebrated as a significant contribution to cinematic history and an iconic part of the Disney legacy.
