Below is headed for Netflix UAE on 8 October, and its small-town stakes are a better hook than the monster itself: TMDB frames the danger around a fisherman trying to protect his family and a community already losing its way of life. Six episodes keep that premise compact rather than asking it to carry a sprawling mythology.
Where to Watch Below in the UAE
Netflix’s UAE title page lists Below, with the local page showing an 18+ rating. The series is due on 8 October; Netflix’s official release coverage confirms that all six episodes arrive that day.

Below Trailer
The trailer sets up the creature lurking off Newfoundland’s coast; the mystery is better left unspoiled.
What Is It About?
TMDB’s synopsis takes the story to a remote Newfoundland town, where a mysterious sea creature forces a hard-bitten fisherman to defend his family, his community and a way of life that is already vanishing. That community-first stake gives the monster more to threaten than a body count: the town’s survival is personal before it is spectacular.
How Many Seasons and Episodes?
TMDB lists one season of six episodes, dated 2026. Netflix says the complete six-episode run arrives on 8 October 2026, so this is a limited-series-sized commitment rather than a weekly wait; Netflix’s release page confirms the date and full-season drop.
Who Is in the Cast?
Josh Hartnett leads as Calvin Penney, the fisherman at the centre of the crisis; Mackenzie Davis plays Dr. Fonda Howander, while Charlie Heaton is Calvin’s son Wade. That trio sets up the show’s useful tension between family loyalty and outside expertise. Ruby Stokes (Mary Penney), Kaleb Horn (Noah Townsend) and Rohan Campbell (Jay Penney) fill out the featured ensemble around them.
