Nautilus is shaping up to be one of the surprises on the 2025 TV schedule, as recent reports indicate it’s performing very well on AMC. It seems viewers are tuning in to the fantasy series, which features a healthy mix of practical and CGI visuals, On that note, some fans may naturally be wondering if the series will return for Season 2.
I’m one of those interested parties, especially as a Star Trek fan who was disappointed to see the franchise shy away from bringing in Ash Tyler. Shazad Latif talked to CinemaBlend about why his Trek character didn’t return and, ahead of the big numbers for the AMC premiere, Latif responded to my question about the possibility of Season 2.
AMC Touted Nautilus As Its Biggest Premiere In A Year
Deadline reported that Nautilus pulled in big linear numbers, with the Nielsen Live+3 day viewership totaling out to 2.6 million viewers. According to the trade, that tally marked the highest viewership for a premiere since The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live, which premiered a year ago to shaky reviews. AMC also reported that the series is trending as a “top series” on streaming in terms of viewership and acquisition.
Disney+ subscription, but the House of Mouse ultimately passed on the project. Prime Video picked up the series for distribution overseas, and AMC acquired the rights to air it in the United States. With that in mind, for this series to continue, it would need an interested party willing to take on its production for Season 2. I can’t speak for either, but one would think AMC and Prime Video have first dibs if they want to try and make it happen.
Nautilus airs on AMC on Sundays at 9:00 p.m. ET. To me, the action ranks up there with some of my favorite adventure movies, and gives me some serious Indiana Jones vibes. Hopefully, readers stick with this one and more tune in as the series continues so that Season 2 can happen.
