Around The World In 80 Days 2021 Cast
Ever dreamt of racing around the globe in just 80 days? Jules Verne's classic tale got a fresh, fun makeover in the 2021 series, and it’s the cast that really brings the adventure to life. Forget stiff upper lips, this is a whirlwind of wit and warmth!
The Unlikely Trio: Who's Who on this Madcap Dash?
At the heart of it all is Phileas Fogg, played by the ever-charming David Tennant. He's not your typical Victorian adventurer here. Think less stoic hero, more slightly clueless genius with a whole lot of heart.
Joining him is Passepartout, brilliantly portrayed by Ibrahim Koma. He’s not just a sidekick; he’s the resourceful, street-smart brains often saving Fogg from utter disaster. Their dynamic is pure comedic gold.

Why This Cast Makes the Adventure So Special
The genius of this adaptation lies in how the cast portrays the characters' emotional journeys. It's not just about ticking off locations on a map. It's about growth and understanding.
David Tennant infuses Fogg with a vulnerability that makes him incredibly relatable. He's not just trying to win a bet; he's trying to prove something to himself. This is what gives his journey real depth.
Ibrahim Koma's Passepartout is a revelation, bringing warmth, humor, and a surprising amount of wisdom to the role. He's often the heart of the story. He is showing kindness and courage in equal measure.
And Leonie Benesch's Abigail "Fix" Fortescue is a force to be reckoned with. She's intelligent, ambitious, and unafraid to challenge the status quo. She's a role model for the modern age.
"The chemistry between these three leads is undeniable. Their banter, their camaraderie, and their occasional clashes create a truly engaging viewing experience."
