Daisy Ridley is headed back to the sea. Ridley is set to star in a Paramount+ adaptation of the sci-fi story Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, Deadline and Variety reported on Wednesday. The remake will be based on Irwin Allen’s 1961 disaster movie and the ABC spin-off series he created. Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea also spawned a novelization published in 1961. Matt Shakman (WandaVision) will direct the series, and Akiva Goldsman (Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, The Crowded Room) will write and serve as executive producer. Legendary TV and the Irwin Allen estate will produce the show, and Ridley will serve as executive producer. According to Variety, the eight-episode series was in development for months before the Warner Bros./Paramount merger closed.
