They seek to solve the ultimate mysteries that appear to be connected to a place we know as Atlantis. Each member of the family has unique skills and are all equally passionate about sea life conservation.
Continuing a long family legacy, the Nektons live aboard a state of the art submarine, The Aronnax, while exploring unchartered areas of the earth’s oceans. THE DEEP follows the Nekton family, comprised of the independent and fearless 12 year old Antaeus, Ant to his friends his analytical 15 year old sister Fontaine, an astute navigator and their parents Will, an oceanographer and former Olympic swimmer, and Kaiko, a marine biologist who is fiercely protective of all sea life, including Ant’s pet fish, Jeffrey.

It is that special combination which leads to creating great series and stories.” That’s why THE DEEP and Technicolor make a great partnership. “The CG team at Technicolor has the ability not only to visually knock your socks off, but also to deliver moments of tenderness, character and heart.
“Technicolor is the ideal animation studio to bring THE DEEP to life,” added Robert Chandler, Executive Producer, THE DEEP. “It’s the family we all dreamed of being a part of when we were kids and are anxious and excited to share with our own children now.” “THE DEEP is one of those unique properties that truly appeals to all ages and genders by delivering compelling entertainment in the form of enthralling adventure, heart-pounding danger, laugh out loud humor and incredible discoveries all wrapped in unbreakable familial relationships,” said Steven Wendland, Vice President, Technicolor Digital Productions. Each self-contained episode of THE DEEP will bring the family a step closer to unraveling the mysteries of the deep sea and every story will be filled with action, adventure, incredible sea monsters, fantastic vehicles, unbelievable bravery, and the odd family squabble, of course! The CGI-animated series targets Kids 8 – 12 and their families. The Deep: Here Be Dragons graphic novel won the Aurealis Award (Australia’s annual literary awards for science fiction, fantasy and fiction) for “Best Illustrated Book / Graphic Novel” of 2011 and was also nominated for “Best Children’s Fiction (illustrated).” Technicolor Digital Productions aims to develop and produce 26 half-hour episodes of THE DEEP, which follows the incredible adventures of a family of underwater explorers. Paris (France) – Janu– Technicolor (Euronext Paris: TCH) has optioned the rights for the international hit graphic novel series, THE DEEP, created by writer Tom Taylor ( Star Wars: Blood Ties, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Injustice: Gods Among Us) and illustrator James Brouwer ( Justice League Beyond), and published by Gestalt Comics. Should these projects move forward, the animation would be produced at Technicolor’s studio in Bangalore, India.
In addition to The Deep, they are developing Berkeley Breathed’s Pete & Pickles, and Atomic Puppet, a co-production with Mercury Filmworks. This press release that arrived in the inbox this morning was interesting to me because I wasn’t aware that Technicolor, which has a long and illustrious history as a technology company, is making a push into original content development.
