Wow.
I loved Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea as a child.
The original had women in significant roles, arguably with more status and authority than Star Trek until at least TNG, if not DS9. So, it makes sense to reboot it with a female lead.
But it was the combination of monsters in the deep and an exploratory vessel that made a VBS lunchbox my childhood favourite. Given the great quality of Kaiju Legendary Television has produced with the Monsterverse on Apple, this promises to be a high quality product for Paramount.
This is the first of three previously-announced Irwin Allen projects from Goldsman - it was described as a “new universe,” but I’m not certain how connected they will actually be.
Looks like they’ve made some significan progress since that original announcement in February '25.
When they do Time tunnel, they really should get Peter Capaldi in for a cameo.
A Time Tunnel reboot would almost complete the set of early-mid 1960s sci-fi show IPs to bring back.
The only major one I can think of that’s been ignored to date is the bizarre fantasy Wild Wild West. It kind of had steampunk elements before steampunk was even a thing. That one deserves at least a movie.
