Josh Hartnett takes on troubled waters in Below, a Netflix original series that's more atmospheric than comedic. He plays Newfoundland fisherman Calvin Penney who becomes entangled in a growing mystery surrounding his community: something dangerous is in the water and it’s not going away. Is it a sea monster? Perhaps, but nothing like they've encountered before.
Starring alongside Hartnett are Stranger Things alumni Charlie Heaton, Mackenzie Davis, Willow Kean, Ruby Stokes, Rohan Campbell, and Kaleb Horn. The series is created by Jesse McKeown, known for his work on The Umbrella Academy.
