- Daisy Ridley is set to star in and executive produce "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea," an eight-episode series ordered by Paramount+.
- Akiva Goldsman, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of "A Beautiful Mind," is attached to write and executive produce the series.
- Matt Shakman and Legendary TV are also attached to the project, per Deadline's headline on the same story.
- The "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" title adapts the 1960s Irwin Allen franchise for the streaming era, giving Paramount+ a sci-fi tentpole built around Ridley's post-"Star Wars" profile.
Why it matters: For Paramount+, landing an eight-episode adaptation of a 1960s Irwin Allen franchise — anchored by Ridley as both star and executive producer — extends its prestige sci-fi pipeline, while Goldsman's writing credit and Legendary TV's involvement signal a package built to draw both franchise fans and Ridley's global audience.
