Before 'Sunrise on the Reaping,' Whitney Peak Must Survive Netflix's New Shark Thriller 'Thrash'

Fair Play actress Phoebe Dynevor will star in the upcoming beach shark thriller (which was previously titled Beneath the Storm for Sony). Fair warning for any beach or ocean lovers: this is one thriller that could really freak you out. We were never the same after Blake Livey's The Shallows!

What is Thrash about?

Thrash follows a community that lives on the coast, and has to deal with the fallout of a Category 5 hurricane. But it's not only the storm they have to worry about: it's the sharks that come with it.

“I became obsessed with sharks after Jaws—and Jaws 2, which is an underrated movie. I spent a lot of my childhood obsessing over sharks and whatever movie was made about that subject," director Tommy Wirkola told Netflix. "Fast forward to a world going off its rails when it comes to global warming and flash floods happening everywhere, and it dawned on me that this could be a great setting-off point for a movie, combining the idea of a disaster-movie with a shark-thriller.”

“More and more, you’re hearing marine biologists acknowledge that climate is changing where these sharks go," producer Adam McKay adds. "It’s changing how they behave. So, in as much as this is an edge-of-your-seat popcorn film, the science behind it is not implausible.”

Where can I watch Thrash?

Thrash premieres on Netflix April 10, 2026.

Who's starring in the Thrash cast with Phoebe Dynevor?
