Mackenzie Davis and Charlie Heaton are going hunting for a sea creature.
The pair join Josh Hartnett (Oppenheimer, Trap) in a new limited series from creator Jesse McKeown (a writer on The Umbrella Academy and 19-2). Set in the waters off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, the currently untitled six-episode show sees a small town terrorized by a mysterious sea creature; Hartnett, who also serves as an executive producer, plays a grizzled fisherman who takes on the task of protecting his community.
Mackenzie Davis has been seen in television series like Station Eleven and Black Mirror (in the beloved episode “San Junipero”). She’s also starred in Speak No Evil, Blade Runner 2049, Terminator: Dark Fate, and The Martian.
Charlie Heaton has played Jonathan Byers on the hit series Stranger Things since 2016. His film roles include The New Mutants and The Souvenir Part II.
McKeown and Hartnett executive produce the series alongside Jessica Rhoades (Black Mirror, Station Eleven) through her company Pacesetter U.K., Chris Hatcher (The Madness, Sweet Angel Baby), Jamie Childs (The Sandman, His Dark Materials), Louise Sutton (Black Mirror, Waiting For The Out), and Sharon Hall (The Expanse, Utopia). It is written by Karen Walton (Orphan Black), Perry Chafe (Saint-Pierre), and Natty Zavitz (Edging), and directed by Children, Helen Shaver (The Penguin, Station Eleven), and Stephen Dunn (Closet Monster, Queer as Folk).
