Sea Creature Terrorizes Newfoundland Town's Homecoming

A mysterious sea creature has descended upon a Newfoundland coastal town, disrupting its "Come Home Year" tradition. Netflix's six-part thriller, "Below," which debuted globally on October 8, 2026, centers on this chilling event.

The series unfolds during a real-life homecoming celebration, where Newfoundlanders traditionally return to visit family. However, this festive occasion is overshadowed by the terrifying presence of a marine threat lurking near the harbor.

Josh Hartnett stars as a fisherman whose livelihood is impacted by depleting fish stocks, forcing him to harvest iceberg ice. He noted that filming in Newfoundland and Labrador was a highlight of the project. Mackenzie Davis portrays a marine researcher involved in investigating the aquatic disturbances.

"Below" intricately weaves together suspense, humor, and the pressing issue of climate change, as highlighted by Mackenzie Davis. The series, created by Jesse McKeown, also benefits from the authentic Newfoundland accents of its local cast, who assisted their co-stars.
