Get ready to dive into the colorful world of the ocean with Octopus!, a brand-new two-part documentary coming only to Prime Video. Just in time for Earth Day, the trailer has been released, giving fans a first look at this unique undersea adventure.
What is ‘Octopus!’ About?
Octopus! is not your usual nature documentary. Narrated and produced by Emmy Award-winning Phoebe Waller-Bridge, this series takes viewers on a wild journey. It talks about love, mystery, strange adventures in Mexico, unicorn sightings, a quilting contest, and even Tracy Morgan’s obsession with octopuses. Yes, all of that is part of a show about the fascinating life of the octopus.
The documentary follows these smart and mysterious sea animals throughout their lives. Along the way, it introduces real-life characters, like scientists trying to protect them, explorers learning about them, and celebrities who are huge fans of octopuses.
Who is behind ‘Octopus!’?
The series is a team effort between Waller-Bridge’s company, Wells Street Films, Amazon MGM Studios, and Jigsaw Productions, run by the well-known filmmaker Alex Gibney. It is directed by Niharika Desi, who brings the deep-sea magic to life on screen.
