Overview
- Netflix released the first teaser for Below on Tuesday, July 28, giving the first look at Josh Hartnett as Calvin Penney and teasing a mysterious sea creature stalking a small Newfoundland fishing town.
- The six‑episode limited series will premiere in TIFF’s Primetime program on Sept. 10 and stream all episodes on Netflix on October 8, 2026.
- Creator and showrunner Jesse McKeown leads the production with Hartnett also serving as an executive producer and a cast that includes Mackenzie Davis, Charlie Heaton, Ruby Stokes, Kaleb Horn, Rohan Campbell and Willow Kean.
- Press materials and the teaser emphasize on‑location shooting around St. John’s, extensive on‑water practical work and an explicitly non‑supernatural premise that presents the threat as a real creature.
- Coverage places Below in a coastal creature‑feature tradition with Jaws and John Carpenter references, and the series aims to pair creature horror with family and small‑town drama while highlighting local culture and practical production methods.
