In Nautilus season 1, Shazad Latif plays Captain Nemo, who is also referred to as Prince Dakkar. He is an Indian king who transforms into a revolutionary genius and spearheads the fight against the repressive East India Mercantile Company.

His character, who was formerly imprisoned and made to construct the submarine Nautilus, eventually steals the ship in order to obtain freedom, justice, and retribution beneath the water.

He assembles a varied crew, including unwilling hostages and ex-prisoners, and leads his creation toward risky tasks like retaliating against corporate oppression, combating sea monsters, and recovering Viking loot. His actions are motivated by a deep moral conviction.

Born in America in July 1988, Shazad Latif is an actor known for his roles in Magpie (2024), The Pursuit of Love (2021), and Departure (2019).

Georgia Flood as Humility Lucas

In Nautilus season 1, Georgia Flood portrays Humility Lucas, the affluent daughter of a British engineer. Humility is first shown as being kidnapped on board Captain Nemo's submarine, the Nautilus. Instead of staying an ordinary prisoner, she quickly displays her mechanical skills and fast thinking, frequently being compared to "a young Elizabeth Swann from Pirates of the Caribbean."

From reserve to empowerment, she jumps right into engineering duties on the submarine, repairing leaks, running machinery, and gaining the respect of her crew.

Georgia is an Australian actor and model known for her work on all three platforms- stage, television, and film. Her notable works include Apples Never Fall (2024), Blacknight (2022), and Wentworth (2013-16).

In Nautilus Season 1, Thierry Frémont plays Gustave Benoit, the talented yet idealistic French engineer who worked with Captain Nemo to co-design the famous submarine.

Frémont's character, Benoit, is motivated by the desire to construct a utopian ship that would be able to confront imperial cruelty and open a route to Atlantis. His dream goes beyond mechanics; he longs for a world free from conflict and in balance with nature.

Benoit plays a crucial role on screen as an emotional support system and technical helper, collaborating closely with Nemo to improve the Nautilus and fostering the values that hold the crew together during their maritime uprising.
