seaQuest DSV is an American science fiction television series created by Rockne S. O'Bannon. It originally aired on NBC between 1993 and 1996. In its final season, it was renamed seaQuest 2032. Set in "the near future", seaQuest mixes high drama with realistic scientific fiction. It stars Roy Scheider as Nathan Bridger, captain of the eponymous high-tech submarine seaQuest DSV 4600, Jonathan Brandis as Lucas Wolenczak, a teenaged computer genius, and Stephanie Beacham as Kristin Westphalen, the chief medical officer and head of the seaQuest science department. Steven Spielberg expressed interest in the project and served as one of the show's executive producers during the first two seasons.
Filming
of the first season was marked by producer disputes, changes at the
helm (off-screen, as well as on-screen), and even an earthquake.
The second season contained changes in the cast, as well as disputes
between cast members and producers, while the third season introduced a
new lead actor and title. While initially popular, the series began to
decline in ratings throughout its run, and was abruptly canceled in the
middle of its third season.
