Josh Hartnett fights a mysterious sea creature in Netflix limited series 'Below' coming October 2026

Netflix Unveils First Look at Limited Series "Below" Starring Josh Hartnett
Netflix has released the first trailer for its upcoming limited series "Below," offering audiences a glimpse into what promises to be a chilling tale set in a remote coastal community.
The series stars Josh Hartnett and Charlie Heaton in leading roles. Hartnett, known for his work in films including "Black Hawk Down" and "Hocus Pocus," takes on what appears to be a character integral to the isolated fishing village at the heart of the story.
The trailer reveals an atmosphere thick with dread and mystery. The footage suggests "Below" blends the claustrophobic tension of aquatic thrillers with supernatural horror elements. Viewers see a windswept, fog-covered community where something sinister lurks beneath the surface—possibly literally. The visual tone is dark and foreboding, with muted colors and unsettling imagery that establishes an immediate sense of unease.
The series is formatted as a limited collection, meaning it will tell a complete story across its episodes without the potential for indefinite renewal. Netflix has scheduled "Below" to premiere on October 8, positioning it as part of the streaming platform's fall programming lineup.
Details about the specific plot remain limited, but the trailer hints at themes of isolation, secrets, and perhaps aquatic-based terror that recall classic underwater suspense stories. The isolated fishing community setting provides natural opportunities for both interpersonal drama among tight-knit residents and encounters with something otherworldly.
No additional casting information or details about the series creator have been officially released alongside the trailer. Netflix typically reveals more about limited series in the weeks leading up to their premiere, suggesting audiences can expect further announcements before the October launch date.
