Around the World in 80 Days
Created by John Gay, Jules Verne, Buzz Kulik
On NBC
A spirited Victorian adventure miniseries built on a high-stakes wager and globe-trotting spectacle, balancing romantic optimism with the chase-plot tension of mistaken identity.
The plot centres around Phileas Fogg making a £20,000 wager with three members of the Reform Club that he can circumnavigate the world in 80 days. He takes with him his newly employed French valet Passepartout, and is pursued by Detective Wilbur Fix who mistakenly thinks Fogg robbed the Bank of England and is using the wager as a cover to escape capture.
