Newfoundland-Based Series ‘Below’ Now Streaming on Netflix

The six-episode series follows a fisherman and a marine researcher as they confront a giant squid and a wealthy family’s resettlement plan.

  • Netflix released the six-part series 'Below' on Thursday, starring Josh Hartnett as a widowed fisherman in the remote Newfoundland community of Snook's Arm confronting a mysterious sea creature.
  • Calvin Penney is haunted by a childhood tragedy involving forced resettlement 40 years ago; he now faces a new threat as a giant sea creature terrorizes local waters near Snook's Arm.
  • Marine researcher Fonda Howander joins Penney to investigate lethal incidents as the plot explores climate change and corporate capitalism through the wealthy Crocker family pressuring residents to resettle.
  • In the finale, Penney and Howander save Snook's Arm by luring the cephalopod away using a giant iceberg while exposing the Crockers' scheme to mine cobalt and copper beneath the town.
  • While Netflix has not officially announced a second season, the finale leaves the door open for future installments as a herd of icebergs heads straight for Snook's Arm in its final moments.
