About the Show
2021
Set sail in Jules Verne’s iconic hot air balloon with Phileas Fogg, Passepartout, and Fix in a thrilling, modern adaptation of the classic adventure novel. David Tennant (Good Omens, Doctor Who) stars as wealthy Victorian eccentric Fogg, literature’s greatest explorer. He is joined on his incredible, globe-circling journey by French actor Ibrahim Koma (The Head, As Far as I can Walk) as Jean Passepartout, Fogg’s irrepressible valet, and German actress Leonie Benesch (The Crown, Babylon Berlin) as Abigail “Fix” Fortescue, a determined and headstrong journalist. “The new trio works,” says Salon.com, “beginning with Tennant’s beleaguered version of Fogg.”
The eight-part miniseries captures Verne’s themes of traveling the globe, pioneering adventure, and celebrating technology. Join the fun and stream Around the World in 80 Days full episodes and more great shows from MASTERPIECE when you watch with PBS Passport. Watch online and on the free PBS App.
