Phoebe Waller-Bridge is to narrate and executive produce Octopus!, a new natural history two-parter for Prime Video.

The show is to be made by Waller-Bridge’s production company, Well Street Films along with Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions.

The series, which will be directed by Niharika Desai “transports viewers into the otherworldly depths of one of the most intelligent and mysterious life forms on Earth as it follows the Giant Pacific Octopus from birth to death. The documentary features an eclectic mix of characters who have their own unique connections to these creatures, from the scientist trying to save them, the explorer trying to understand them, to the Emmy-nominated actor and comedian, Tracy Morgan, who is obsessed with them. Their adventures will make us laugh, cry, and question our own place on this planet along the way.”

Exec producers alongside Waller-Bridge are Jenny Robins for Wells Street and Jigsaw’s Styacey Offman and Richard Perello
