Casting News: Josh Hartnett's Netflix Series, Wilson Bethel's Apple Gig And More

Josh Hartnett is taking on a scary monster at Netflix.

The actor — whose most recent TV roles include guest spots on The Bear and Black Mirror — will star in and executive-produce an untitled limited series for the streamer about a mysterious sea creature that terrorizes a remote Newfoundland town, our sister site Variety reports.

Hartnett will play the hard-bitten fisherman who must fight to protect his family, his community and his vanishing way of life.
