Netflix releases a first look trailer for “Below,” a new supernatural thriller limited series set off the coast of Newfoundland. The show centers on Calvin Penney (Josh Hartnett), a fisherman in a remote small town who is both stubborn and caring, and who is still affected by his father’s mysterious death from decades earlier. As the trailer introduces the community and its folklore, an unidentified sea creature begins terrorizing the town. Characters urge people to stay away from the water as the threat grows, and Penney becomes involved in efforts to protect his family, community, and way of life.
The series is described as a six-part limited run that blends local myth and suspense with character-focused themes such as family, community, and change. Netflix indicates the production was filmed on location in and around St. John’s, Newfoundland, drawing on the area’s isolated and rugged landscape. The cast includes Mackenzie Davis, Charlie Heaton, Ruby Stokes, Kaleb Horn, Rohan Campbell, and Willow Kean alongside Hartnett.
