The Epic Fantasy Adventure Disney+ Tried To Cancel Is a Mega-Hit 1 Month After Its Finale

When Disney+ walked away from Nautilus, many assumed the show would sink before it even set sail. The series, a bold retelling of Captain Nemo’s origin, was shelved during Disney’s cost-cutting purge, another casualty of the streaming wars. But AMC+ swooped in, giving the show a second life, and now the numbers prove it was the right call. Just one month after its finale, Nautilus has stormed into AMC+’s U.S. Top 10, climbing as high as No. 2 this week and holding strong near the top spots day after day. For a show dismissed as “too risky” by its original studio, this late surge is nothing short of vindication.
