Created by Jesse McKeown and starring Josh Hartnett, Mackenzie Davis, Charlie Heaton, Natasha Henstridge, Ruby Stokes and Rohan Campbell, the series is the most-viewed debut of a Netflix Canadian title ever.

For comparison, Nobody Wants This Season 1 debuted with 10.3 million views, the first season of The Gentlemen achieved 12.2 million views globally, and the recently released East of Eden series debuted with 6.5 million views on Netflix. Below has remained the No. 1 series in more than 50 countries and is leading the way in having great Canadian content on Netflix. The show also contributed more than $90 million to Canada's economy, with most of that benefiting Newfoundland and Labrador.'Every conversation was a detailed one'While it didn't take long for audiences around the world to be hooked by Below, for McKeown, he described the process of making the series "a very slow light bulb" over 18 years, as he continued to visit Newfoundland with his wife, who is from the province.

Comedian, actor and author Kirk Fox has spent most of his life playing: sports, unforgettable characters, and to rooms full of comedy fans worldwide. A former tennis instructor, he treats the sport like a detective treats a case. Everything connects, but he is always the common thread. You’ll know Kirk from “somewhere,” as he’s built a following across generations and genres: From “How to Rock” on Nickelodeon and hosting “The Test” mustache-free, to Sewage Joe on “Parks and Recreation,” Pat McCurdy in “Jury Duty,” Kenny Boy on “Reservation Dogs,” and more recently, Netflix’s “Bad Thoughts.” Fox has a way of making a role memorable, especially the comedically twisted ones. In June, he added novelist to an already stacked resume with “Palmdale,” his incredibly entertaining dirtbag-noir debut about a PI and his estranged daughter reuniting over a case. On Wednesday, “The Lowdown” returns to Hulu, and Fox is back in Sterlin Harjo’s world as a new character that still sounds a bit like him. Maybe that’s the job. Or maybe, that’s just Kirk Fox. From Nickelodeon to having Rob Iler on your lap in “Bad Thoughts” performing an alien scat scene, your career truly is a wild ride.

In a difficult and changing world, audiences turn to the warmth, fun and nostalgia of entertainment brands.
