In Very Troubled Waters is an aquatic action thriller directed by Ben Wheatley, starring Jason Statham and Jing Wu. A direct sequel to the hit film Troubled Waters (2018), this second opus propels viewers into an even more perilous adventure, populated by titanic sea creatures and ever more spectacular perils. Already available on the Max platform since January, the film is now broadcast free-to-air on TF1.
The trailer reveals an explosive cocktail of action, suspense and giant megalodons, all set against a breathtaking aquatic backdrop.
En eaux très troubles will be broadcast on TF1 on Sunday, October 5, 2025 at 9:10 pm.
Synopsis: This summer, get ready for an adrenaline rush with EN EAUX TRÈS TROUBLES! A supercharged action film, this second opus is even more gigantic than the 2018 blockbuster, plunging viewers into ever-deeper waters teeming with fearsome megalodons, and much more...
Directed by Ben Wheatley, known for his tension-filled films such as High-Rise and Kill List, In Very Troubled Waters amplifies all the elements that made the first installment such a success. The action is more intense, the megalodons even more gigantic, and the threats, both natural and human, leave no respite for the team of underwater heroes.
Shooting in an aquatic environment and the use of state-of-the-art special effects make it possible to recreate spectacular scenes on the high seas, where attacks by sea creatures follow pressure-packed chases. This second chapter expands the universe by adding new dimensions to the danger, while reinforcing the dynamic between the main characters.
Jason Statham, an iconic figure in action films, reprises his role as Jonas Taylor, an expert and intrepid diver, now facing even more colossal threats. His duet with Jing Wu, star of Chinese action cinema, brings an international dimension to the cast and an added intensity to the fight and survival scenes.
The film is based on an effective recipe combining suspense, spectacular special effects and a frenetic pace, in the tradition of the greatest aquatic blockbusters such as Jurassic World or San Andreas.
The film is aimed at a large-scale blockbuster audience, in particular those who appreciate disaster movies, giant monsters and muscular scenarios. Fans of action films will find the classic codes of the genre: a solitary but determined hero, spectacular confrontations and a breathless countdown. Fans of marine universes and light science fiction will also find something to their liking, thanks to the immersive staging and constant tension.
Released in 2023, In Very Troubled Waters successfully continues the universe established by In Troubled Waters. Thanks to Ben Wheatley 's energetic direction and Jason Statham's muscular performance, this second opus offers a thrilling cinematic experience. Its broadcast on TF1 is a great opportunity to discover or revisit this aquatic thriller in the comfort of your living room, for an evening of danger... in deep waters.
