Around the World in 80 Days - Season 1 (2021)

Fogg, Passepartout and Abigail are stranded in an Indian village where a wedding is about to take place. With the promise of a guide the following day Fogg agrees to stay. However, Passepartout has been bribed to cause further delay in order that Fogg will lose the wager, and gives him a powerful drug. Suddenly the Indian Army arrives and arrests the groom Anand for desertion. It is up to the bride's mother Aouda to revive Fogg in order that he may speak for the accused man.

Passepartout's knowledge of Hong Kong proves useful when Fogg's finances are blocked. However, there is a high price to be paid. Abigail's latest article could humiliate Phileas at a party in his honour.

After their latest set-back, Fogg, Abigail and Passepartout find themselves stranded on a desert island. Secrets are revealed and, with the clock ticking, they must learn to forgive and work together to make their next stop in time. Back in England, Bellamy and Fortescue receive some bad news.

Racing through the Rockies, Fogg unwillingly lets a laconic lawman and his prisoner share the chartered stagecoach, unaware the captive's cronies are in hot pursuit, leading to a violent showdown before sundown.

A reunion, deadly dockside danger and red tape mean Phileas Fogg faces failure.
