Returning: The Deep

Season 4 of Australia-Canada-Singapore animated series The Deep begins this Friday on ABC ME.

Developed for 8 to 12-year-olds, the series is based on the graphic novel series, which was created by author and playwright Tom Taylor (Superman, Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Wolverine, Iron Man, Batman: The Detective, Star Wars: Age of Resistance) and co-creator, artist James Brouwer (Justice League Beyond), and published by Wolfgang Bylsma and Skye Ogden’s Gestalt Comics.

The Deep follows the adventures of the Nekton family — a brilliant team of underwater explorers. With state-of-the-art technology and an unquenchable thirst for discovery, the Nektons explore the mysterious depths of the ocean, where most of our world lies unexplored and unexplained.

In season four of The Deep, after searching for generations, the Nekton family have finally found the fabled city of Lemuria, unlocking secrets and tantalizing mysteries.

But the greatest discovery they’ve made is also the most shocking: proof that Ant and Fontaine’s grandparents made it to Lemuria! The Nektons had given up on ever seeing their loved ones again – but now they have hope. Now their most important search begins.

While encountering more legends and myths, pirates and leviathans, the Nektons explore The Deep… now in search of that which is closest to them – their family.

The Deep Season 4 is an Australia-Canada-Singapore coproduction produced by A Stark Production, WildBrain and Infinite Studios. Executive Producers are Avrill Stark for A Stark Production, Anne Loi for WildBrain, and Seng Choon Meng for Infinite Studios. Developed and produced in association with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, The Deep Season 4 is also produced in association with UK broadcaster CBBC; and with the support of the Australian Children’s Television Foundation, MediaCorp Pte Ltd, and Family.
