Will there be a Nautilus season 2?

Fortunately, a multitude of other broadcasters picked up the project, but now fans are wondering if it can pull the same stunt again and secure a second season – which has proven elusive for other fantasy shows on streaming (see: Kaos).

Speaking to Yahoo UK, Latif expressed his hope that Nautilus becomes a crowdpleaser.

"There's something in the show for everyone," he began. "A family can watch it but then there's sci-fi, there's creature stuff, there's romantic drama, there's two handers, and the relationships between all the characters.

"So there's a lot of comedy in it [and] it's big spectacle."

Here's everything we know so far about the possibility of Nautilus season 2 on Prime Video.

Will there be Nautilus season 2?

Prime Video is yet to announce whether Nautilus has been renewed for season 2 or cancelled.

Interestingly, the series started life on rival streamer Disney Plus, but was dropped from the service after completing filming, but before a single episode could be released.

A number of broadcasters scooped up the rights to the series, including AMC (in the US), Prime Video (in the UK and Ireland) and Stan (in Australia, where the series was filmed), meaning it will still see a wide release.

However, the fragmented nature of the release strategy may make it more complicated than usual for Nautilus to secure a renewal, so it would certainly need a strong reaction to alert potential broadcasters to its potential.

We'll update this page as more information on the future of Nautilus comes in.

When could a potential Nautilus season 2 be released?

If Nautilus were to be renewed for season 2, it could be some time before it actually lands on our screens.

Filming for the first season took place over a period of approximately 11 months, with additional time for scripting and post-production also necessary to ensure the show is fit for public consumption.

Therefore, we'd expect an 18-24 month production cycle for Nautilus, which would place a potential season 2 release window in summer/autumn 2026.

Who could star in a potential Nautilus season 2?

If Nautilus were to return for more episodes, much of the original cast could reprise their roles.

Here's a reminder of the key players in Nautilus season 1:

• Shazad Latif as Captain Nemo
• Georgia Flood as Humility Lucas
• Thierry Frémont as Gustave Benoit
• Pacharo Mzembe as Boniface
• Arlo Green as Turan
• Tyrone Ngatai as Kai
• Ling Cooper Tang as Suyin
• Andrew Shaw as Jiacomo
• Ashan Kumar as Ranbir
• Chum Ehelepola as Jagadish
• Céline Menville as Loti
• Cameron Cuffe as Captain Pitt
• Kayden Price as Blaster
• Damien Garvey as Director Crawley
• Richard E Grant as Karajaan leader
• Muki Zubis as Casamir
• Benedict Hardie as Cuff
• Adolphus Waylee as Absalom Boston
• Jacob Collins-Levy as Captain Youngblood
• Luke Arnold as Captain Billy Millais

What could happen in a potential Nautilus season 2?

Obviously, there's no word yet on what might happen in an as-yet-unconfirmed Nautilus season 2.

It's possible that the showrunners may wish to draw from more of Jules Verne's classic adventure stories – particularly The Mysterious Island, in which Captain Nemo also appears – but there are plenty of original storylines they could explore too.

Is there a trailer for a potential Nautilus season 2?

Alas, nothing yet, as the show is yet to be renewed! We'll update this page if and when any new footage drops.
