Wow.
I loved Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea as a child.
The original had women in significant roles, arguably with more status and authority than Star Trek until at least TNG, if not DS9. So, it makes sense to reboot it with a female lead.
But it was the combination of monsters in the deep and an exploratory vessel that made a VBS lunchbox my childhood favourite. Given the great quality of Kaiju Legendary Television has produced with the Monsterverse on Apple, this promises to be a high quality product for Paramount.
