Josh Hartnett is heading towards the edge of the world.
Netflix has announced a new limited edition series led by Oppenheimer and Trap Star. This is a still-title-titled project, located in a remote town in Newfoundland, surrounded by mystical sea creatures. Created by Jesse McKeown (The Umbrella Academy, The Sinner), the show promises to blend elements of a chilled genre with grounded emotional interests.
“When mystical sea creatures are terrorizing a remote town in Newfoundland,” reads Netflix’s description.
McKeown is a showrunner and executive producer and works with teams including Jessica Rhoades (Station Eleven, Black Mirror), Chris Hatcher (Sweet Angel Baby), Sharon Hall (The Expanse) and Hartnett herself.
Content Directors at Netflix Canada Danielle Woodrow and Tara Woodbury praised the project, saying, “Jesse’s bold and ambitious vision is at the heart of the family drama and provides a thrill.
The writing team also includes Karen Walton (Orphan Black), Perrycev (St. Pierre) and Natti Zabitz (Edging). The episode is directed by Jamie Childs (Sandman, his dark material), Helen Shaver (Penguin, Station Eleven), and Stephen Dan (Queer as Closet Monster, Folk).
Filming will take place in Newfoundland, with state leaders welcoming the production. “The rich history and stunning landscape of Newfoundland and Labrador make it an ideal canvas for projects of this scale,” said Dr. Andrew Free. “The state’s commitment to storytelling, talented crew and unique beauty ensures that this series captures the spirit of our state.”
Picture NL CEO Laura Churchill repeated her emotions. “Newfoundland and Labrador have long been home to incredible stories and we look forward to working with our team to showcase everything Newfoundland and Labrador have to offer.”
The release date and other casting announcements have not been shared yet, but whatever the premise is, viewers may want to start keeping their eyes on the water.
