Akiva Goldsman To Revive Classic Sci-Fi: ‘Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea,’ ‘Land of the Giants,’ and ‘The Time Tunnel’ Get a Modern Makeover

Legendary Television is teaming up with Oscar-winning writer and producer Akiva Goldsman to bring new life to three classic Irwin Allen sci-fi series. Goldsman, known for his work on A Beautiful Mind and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, is set to reimagine Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Land of the Giants, and The Time Tunnel.

The goal is to modernize these iconic shows while staying true to their original appeal. Jon Jashni will serve as executive producer, with Derek Thielges co-producing.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea originally aired from 1964 to 1968 and followed a nuclear submarine on thrilling underwater adventures. The Time Tunnel, which ran for one season in 1966, was about two scientists lost in time. Land of the Giants, airing from 1968 to 1970, told the story of a spaceship crew stranded on a planet where everything was oversized.

Goldsman has a history of reviving beloved franchises, having played a major role in Star Trek: Picard and Strange New Worlds. Legendary Television has also been behind projects like Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and Dune: Prophecy. With this new venture, the studio hopes to introduce these sci-fi classics to a whole new generation.
