Daisy Ridley is set to star in and executive produce an eight-episode Paramount+ series reimagining “Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.” Multiple outlets report the show is ordered by Paramount+ and is being developed as an epic adventure with an ocean-and-conspiracy premise.
Deadline and Variety name Akiva Goldsman as writer and executive producer, and Matt Shakman as another executive producer involved with the project. ComingSoon.net also highlights the series’ tone as dangerous conspiracies alongside maritime escapades, and frames it with pop-culture comparisons. Gizmodo similarly describes the project as a new oceanic sci-fi fantasy take on the 1960s classic. Across coverage, Ridley’s role and Paramount+’s series order are consistent, with differences mainly in descriptive emphasis rather than core details.
Overall, the reports align on who is attached creatively and that Paramount+ is developing the series with Ridley at the center, while the language used to position the show’s genre and appeal varies by outlet.
