Josh Hartnett is making a comeback on television with a new six-episode Netflix miniseries called Below, created by Jesse McKeown. The series, which had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, will be available on Netflix starting October 8. In the show, Hartnett plays Calvin Penney, a fisherman from a small coastal town in Newfoundland. Strange occurrences begin to unfold in his community, and an unknown marine creature starts attacking the locals, setting the stage for a suspenseful and eerie storyline.
The series features a cast that includes Mackenzie Davis, Charlie Heaton, Ruby Stokes, Rohan Campbell, and Kaleb Horn. Together, they bring to life a tale that blends elements of horror, mystery, and drama, set against the rugged and isolated backdrop of Newfoundland’s coastline. The show's trailer hints at intense underwater sequences, which may be challenging for viewers with thalassophobia—a fear of the sea or underwater environments.
Below is being positioned as a psychological and atmospheric thriller, with a focus on the tension between the characters and the mysterious creature they face. The series is expected to explore themes of isolation, survival, and the unknown, all while maintaining a slow-burn narrative that builds suspense over the course of its six episodes.
As the release date approaches, fans of horror and sci-fi are eagerly anticipating the show, hoping it will deliver on its promise of a gripping and immersive viewing experience. With its unique setting and strong cast, Below aims to carve out a place in the growing landscape of streaming horror content.
