Netflix renews its catalog with a new suspense miniseries that combines mystery, tension, and a threat that puts the inhabitants of a small coastal town on alert as they try to discover what is happening throughout each chapter.

The story takes place in a community marked by a string of disturbing events that begin to alter the daily life of its Canadian residents. As the mystery grows, Calvin tries to figure out what is happening and how to put an end to the constant danger faced by the inhabitants.

Netflix's new offering has 6 episodes and will arrive on the platform this first week of October with a cast led by major Hollywood actors.

What is Netflix's new suspense miniseries about?

Beneath the Surface (Below) takes place in a small coastal town in Newfoundland, Canada, with economic and social problems, where a series of events begins to disturb the community's peace. At the center of the story is Calvin Penney, the main character in this story and a fisherman who must confront a threat that comes from the sea while trying to protect his family and those who live in the area.

The situation becomes even more unsettling and desperate when a mysterious sea creature appears, putting the lives of an entire town at risk. From there, Calvin joins a marine researcher to try to understand what is happening and find a way to face the constant threat.
