Something lurking in the depths of the sea is terrorizing Newfoundland, and only Josh Hartnett can stop it. Netflix has released the trailer for Below, a miniseries starring Hartnett, Mackenzie Davis, and Charlie Heaton as residents trying to keep their fishing community from being swallowed up and dragged under.
SYNOPSIS: Calvin Penney (Josh Hartnett) is a big‑hearted but stubborn fisherman living in a small Newfoundland town, who’s still haunted by his father’s mysterious death from decades ago. When an unidentified sea creature begins terrorizing his hometown, Calvin must fight to hold his close-knit community together. Determined to keep his son Wade (Charlie Heaton) and the rest of his family safe, he teams up with a visiting marine researcher (Mackenzie Davis) to confront the creature and reveal the island’s buried secrets before it’s too late. Blending local myth, thrilling suspense, and heartfelt humor, this twisty six-part limited series dives into themes of family, community, and change – both terrifying and inevitable.
The series was created by showrunner Jesse McKeown, who spoke with Netflix’s Tudum about choosing Newfoundland’s shores as the backdrop…
“I just always felt like I wanted to set something here, that this would be a great place for something big and something kind of epic. It’s such a unique landscape and such a rugged, dangerous, isolated, scary place in a lot of ways.”
Also in the cast are Willow Kean, Ruby Stokes, Rohan Campbell, and Kaleb Horn.
Below premieres on Netflix on October 8th.
