AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Netflix has released the trailer for Below, a new six-episode horror limited series starring Josh Hartnett that brings monster terror and family drama to a remote Newfoundland fishing town on October 8.
Netflix is expanding its horror catalog with a chilling new six-episode limited series titled Below, which recently dropped its official trailer ahead of the Toronto International Film Festival. According to Polygon reporting, the show transports viewers to a remote Newfoundland fishing town where an unidentified creature begins terrorizing the local community. The eerie atmosphere is amplified by a mysterious iceberg drifting into the harbor, setting the stage for a tense blend of small-town isolation and deep-sea dread.
The series features a stellar cast anchored by Josh Hartnett as a stubborn local fisherman named Calvin Penney, alongside Mackenzie Davis as a visiting marine researcher and Charlie Heaton as Calvin's son. Created by Jesse McKeown, the show taps into generational family trauma, local mythology, and mounting maritime chaos while keeping the monstrous antagonist largely hidden in the marketing. All six episodes land on Netflix on October 8, offering a great binge option for horror fans looking for a new atmospheric obsession between gaming sessions.
For players who love narrative heavyweights like Subnautica or The Callisto Protocol, Below offers a similar masterclass in environmental tension and claustrophobic dread. It is shaping up to be prime watch party material for the Discord community as autumn rolls in.
