Phoebe Dynevor stole our hearts as Daphne Bridgerton in season 1 of the hit Netflix series, and we TOTALLY missed seeing her onscreen for Bridgerton season 3. While we're still waiting to hear whether she'll reappear in season 4 to give Benedict some stellar romantic advice (remember how helpful she was when Anthony was spiraling over Kate?), we will get to see her in a whole new thriller called Beneath The Storm.

The Fair Play actress will star in Sony's upcoming beachy shark thriller next summer. The August movie is now one of our most-anticipated 2025 movies, but 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!

Beneath The Storm Plot

While we don't have official plot details yet, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the movie will feature sharks. And considering the movie title, and the recent success of Twisters, I'm wondering if Phoebe Dynevor's character will be stuck in the middle of the ocean during a hurricane. Because to me, the only thing scarier than being stuck in a hurricane is realizing there are sharks stuck in the hurricane with you. Yikes!

Beneath The Storm Release Date

How do you feel about shark thrillers? I'll admit, growing up on the beach means I can't watch them! But I'll take one of these 5 Shocking Thriller Movies On Apple TV+ any day.
