Mackenzie Davis To Star in Netflix's Newfoundland Limited Series Opposite Josh Hartnett

Mackenzie Davis ("Station Eleven", "Speak No Evil") is set to lead the upcoming Untitled Newfoundland Project, a new Netflix miniseries created by "Umbrella Academy" writer and executive producer Jesse McKeown. The show will also star Josh Hartnett.

Set in Newfoundland, Canada, where they will also shoot, the 6-episode project follows a hard-bitten fisherman (Hartnett), who must fight to protect his family, his community, and his vanishing way of life when a mysterious sea creature terrorizes a remote Newfoundland town.

The writing team includes Karen Walton ("Orphan Black"), Perry Chafe ("St. Pierre") and Natty Zavitz ("Edging"). Jamie Childs, Helen Shaver and Stephen Dunn will direct.

McKeown will serve as showrunner and will executive produce with Jessica Rhoades through her company Pacesetter UK. Chris Hatcher, Hartnett, Jamie Childs, Louise Sutton, and Sharon Hall also executive produce.

Davis can next be seen starring in Netflix's crime noir series "The Undertow".
