About Octonauts
Octonauts follows Captain Barnacles crew rescuing sea animals. The original ran 50 episodes in season 1 from 2010 to 2011, then 22, 20 and 24 across seasons 2 through 4 to 2017, plus 12 specials. Three Netflix films arrived around 2020 to 2021 around caves, reefs and fire.
Above and Beyond started September 2021 on Netflix and CBeebies as a land version with 25 minute episodes, running four seasons to 2024 with more produced for China into 2026. The original brand returned for season 5 in March 2023 on iPlayer. Watch original seasons 1 through 4, then films, then Above and Beyond.
Good to know
Episodes stand alone as rescues, so release order is about crew additions rather than plot. The films fit after season 4 and before the land spinoff. Above and Beyond seasons 5 and 6 exist in China with English audio but no Western Netflix date as of September 2026, so they sit outside the list until dated. Original season 5 can follow season 4 anytime.
