Explained simply
"Below" is a new limited series coming to Netflix in October 2026. Limited series are shorter dramatic programmes with a set number of episodes, rather than open-ended seasons that may continue for years.
The story follows Calvin Penney, played by Josh Hartnett, a fisherman in a small coastal town in Newfoundland. His community faces a mysterious and dangerous sea creature that begins to terrorise the area, creating a direct physical threat to those around him.
Beneath this supernatural conflict lies a deeper personal struggle. Calvin is also grappling with unresolved grief from his father's mysterious death, a loss that has shaped him as a person. The series intertwines these two threads—the external danger posed by the creature and the internal weight of his family's past—to explore how loss and fear can take hold of a community and an individual alike.
