Netflix Debuts 'Profundezas,' a Six‑Episode Maritime Thriller

The miniseries uses a hidden-creature marketing strategy and extensive on-location ocean filming to build suspense and realism.

Overview

  • The series premiered on Netflix on Thursday, Oct. 8, 2026, and stars Josh Hartnett with Mackenzie Davis and Charlie Heaton in key roles.
  • Profundezas follows Calvin Penney, a Newfoundland fisherman who must protect his family and town from an unidentified marine creature.
  • Production was shot on location in Newfoundland with substantial practical ocean work, and actor Charlie Heaton said he filmed scenes on boats and in a kayak.
  • Promotional materials intentionally keep the creature obscured, lean on an iceberg motif, and the creators have promised multiple plot twists.
  • The six-episode format positions the show as a compact, twist-driven thriller that draws on maritime-horror traditions and centers community survival and family stakes.
