When is an iceberg not just an iceberg? When it conceals a terrifying sea creature, at least according to the official trailer for Netflix’s Below. The limited series premieres on October 8, 2026, after it has its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Josh Hartnett leads the cast as Calvin Penney, Mackenzie Davis stars as Fonda Howander, Charlie Heaton plays Wade Penney, Ruby Stokes is Mary Penney, Kaleb Horn is Noah, Rohan Campbell is Jay Penney, and Willow Kean stars as Ruth Penney.
Netflix’s synopsis reads, “Calvin Penney 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 and the rest of his family safe, he teams up with a visiting marine researcher 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.”
Jesse McKeown created the six-episode thriller and serves as executive producer and showrunner. Additional executive producers include Josh Hartnett, Jessica Rhoades, Chris Hatcher, Jamie Childs, Louise Sutton, and Sharon Hall.
