Netflix has officially dropped the first-look teaser trailer for its upcoming supernatural thriller limited series Below, offering audiences a haunting glimpse into a remote fishing town where an unseen terror lurks beneath the waves. While the teaser keeps the mysterious sea creature hidden, it establishes an eerie atmosphere filled with suspense, local folklore, and mounting fear, setting the stage for what promises to be one of the streamer's most intriguing genre releases of the year.
The six-part limited series follows Calvin Penney, played by Josh Hartnett, a kind-hearted yet stubborn fisherman living in a small town in Newfoundland. Still haunted by the mysterious death of his father decades earlier, Calvin's quiet life is shattered when an unidentified sea creature begins terrorizing the isolated coastal community. Determined to protect his son Wade, his family, and his neighbours, Calvin joins forces with a visiting marine researcher, portrayed by Mackenzie Davis, to uncover the terrifying truth hidden beneath the ocean before it's too late.
Although the teaser reveals very little about the creature itself, it effectively builds tension through unsettling visuals, anxious townspeople, and the feeling that something dangerous is lurking just below the surface. According to Netflix, Below blends local mythology, supernatural horror, suspense, and heartfelt humour, while exploring deeper themes of family, community, loss, and the inevitable changes that threaten even the closest-knit towns. The mystery surrounding the creature appears to be closely tied to secrets buried within the island's past, adding another layer of intrigue to the story.
The series boasts an impressive ensemble cast alongside Josh Hartnett and Mackenzie Davis, featuring Charlie Heaton, Ruby Stokes, Kaleb Horn, Rohan Campbell, and Willow Kean in pivotal roles. Together, the cast brings to life a community forced to confront both an ancient menace and long-hidden truths that could determine their survival.
Created and showrun by Jesse McKeown, Below features writing by Perry Chafe, Karen Walton, Natty Zavitz, and McKeown himself. The episodes are directed by Jamie Childs, Stephen Dunn, and Helen Shaver, with the series produced by Pacesetter Productions. The combination of experienced filmmakers and an atmospheric premise has already generated excitement among fans of supernatural mysteries and creature features.
With its blend of psychological suspense, folklore-inspired horror, and emotional storytelling, Below is shaping up to be a gripping addition to Netflix's original lineup. While the teaser deliberately keeps its terrifying sea monster hidden, it successfully creates an air of mystery that leaves viewers eager to discover what's really lurking beneath the water. Below is set to premiere globally on Netflix on October 8, 2026.
