Octonauts is a British-American-Irish-Canadian-Chinese children's television show, produced by Silvergate Media, also co-produced by Brown Bag Films, Mainframe Studios, partially CCTV for the BBC channel CBeebies, and based on the children's books written by Vicki Wong and Michael C. Murphy. The show follows an underwater exploring crew made up of stylized anthropomorphic animals, a team of eight adventurers who live in an undersea base, the Octopod, from which they go on undersea adventures with the help of a fleet of aquatic vehicles. Although its technology is fictional, the exotic creatures and locations that the crew encounter are based on real marine animals in their natural habitats. The show's subject matter has been compared to that of Star Trek and Thunderbirds blended with Jacques Cousteau.
The show was animated and co-produced in Ireland by Brown Bag Films for its first four series. The show was renewed for a fifth series in 2018, with Canada's Mainframe Studios and partially China's CCTV taking over animation and co-producing work.
Three movies have been exclusively available on Netflix since October 2020: Octonauts & the Caves of Sac Actun (which takes place in a cenote in Mexico) and Octonauts & the Great Barrier Reef (a musical), and Octonauts & the Ring of Fire. Netflix has also produced two spinoff series titled Octonauts: Above & Beyond and Octonauts: Journey to China.
