Synopsis:

Octopus!, narrated and executive produced by Emmy-Award winning actress and writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge, 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. Octopus! is brought to life through Waller-Bridge’s sultry voice and comedic quips that wrap around the brain like a tentacle.
