Between the summer of shark movies,Whalefall right around the corner, and now Below, it's really not a good time to be a thalassophobe. Josh Hartnett probably thinks so too, because he's not having a great time dealing with a mysterious sea creature in the latest trailer for Netflix's upcoming limited series:
Created by Jesse McKeown (The Umbrella Academy), Below stars Hartnett alongside Stranger Things alum Charlie Heaton, Mackenzie Davis, Ruby Stokes, Kaleb Horn, Rohan Campbell, and Willow Kean. The series’ synopsis is as follows:
Calvin Penney is a fisherman whose small village is under attack by a violent creature. As locals succumb to mayhem brought on by strange events, and Calvin’s son Wade starts exhibiting terrifying new symptoms, our hero teams up with Fonda, a marine biologist, to uncover what secrets lie beneath the water.
Writing on the limited series are Karen Walton (Ginger Snaps), Perry Chafe (Republic of Doyle) and Natty Zavitz (Acquainted), with Jamie Childs (The Sandman), Helen Shaver (The Penguin) and Stephen Dunn (Closet Monster) directing.
Below is executive produced by Hartnett alongside Jessica Rhoades. Chris Hatcher, Jamie Childs, Louise Sutton, and Sharon Hall. Ahead of its fall premiere, the series will screen at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival as a part of their Primetime program.
Below premieres on Netflix on October 8.
