News Josh Hartnett Josh Hartnett to Star in Sea Creature Series Heading to Netflix No news yet on whether Hartnett will be playing said sea creature. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on May 22, 2025 Screenshot: Miramax Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: Miramax Josh Hartnett will be playing the lead role in a six-episode limited series that will be shot in Newfoundland. There isn’t an official title yet for the show, but here’s the logline, per Variety: When a mysterious sea creature terrorizes a remote Newfoundland town, a hard-bitten fisherman must fight to protect his family, his community and his vanishing way of life. With Hartnett taking on the lead role, he’ll either be playing the “hard-bitten fisherman“ or the “mysterious sea creature.” Or perhaps both! Or probably not; odds are more than good that he’ll be that rugged fisherman, and will likely sport a beard for the part. Hartnett has recently starred in the movie Trap, [ed note: I think you mean “the stone-cold MASTERPIECE Trap”] and he’s also known for his roles on Penny Dreadful, Oppenheimer, and several films of the ‘90s and ‘00s including The Faculty, Black Hawk Down, Pearl Harbor, and Lucky Number Slevin. He’s also an American treasure. Hartnett will also serve as executive producer along with Jessica Rhoades, a producer who also worked on Sharp Objects, Station Eleven, and Black Mirror. The sea creature series comes from Jesse McKeown, who will serve as executive producer and showrunner, and whose previous credits include writing on The Umbrella Academy, Letterkenny, and The Sinner. No news on when the series will go in production or when it will make its way to Netflix. [end-mark] The post Josh Hartnett to Star in Sea Creature Series Heading to Netflix appeared first on Reactor.
