Phoebe Dynevor tackles Category 5 hurricane in thriller film 'Thrash' trailer
Washington DC, March 12
The 'Bridgerton' actress Phoebe Dynevor is set to tackle the Category 5 storm in the trailer of her new film 'Thrash', which is set to stream on Netflix from April 10.
Filmmaker Tommy Wirkola's thriller movie stars Whitney Peak, Djimon Hounsou, Matt Nable, Andrew Lees, Alyla Browne, Stacy Clausen, Elijah Ungvary and Dante Ubaldi in the lead roles.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Thrash focuses on a coastal town that gets ravaged by a Category 5 storm, leading to the arrival of hungry sharks.
In the trailer, Hounsou shouts, "Sharks on the loose in the Category 5 storm," to express the emergency of the situation.
Later, Dynevor's pregnant character declares about her soon-to-arrive progeny with a conviction to get past the hurdle. "I am not going to have him die before he takes his first breath," says Dynevor.
Netflix shared the trailer on their Instagram handle on Thursday.
Wirkola, known for helming such features as 'Dead Snow', 'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters and Violent Night' directed the project from his own script. He produces alongside Adam McKay and Kevin Messick.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the project was first announced in 2024 as being in the works at Sony Pictures with the title 'Beneath the Storm' before the name shifted a year later.
Dynevor appeared in the 2025 features 'Inheritance' and 'Anniversary'. The actress is also known for the Netflix film 'Fair Play', along with such series as 'Younger' and 'Bridgerton'.

The premise is interesting, but honestly, the plot sounds a bit over-the-top. A Category 5 storm AND sharks? Feels like they're trying too hard to create a disaster movie. I hope the story has more depth than just CGI chaos.
As someone who loved 'Fair Play', I'm excited to see Phoebe in another thriller. The pregnant character fighting to survive adds a powerful emotional layer. Tommy Wirkola's direction could make this a really fun, edge-of-your-seat film.
Good to see Djimon Hounsou in the cast! He always brings gravity to his roles. The title change from 'Beneath the Storm' to 'Thrash' is a bit odd though. The former sounded more dramatic. Still, will check it out for sure.
After a long day, sometimes you just need a good, mindless action thriller. This looks like it fits the bill perfectly! 🍿 Hope the VFX for the storm and sharks are top-notch. Netflix originals have been hit or miss lately.
The combination of natural disaster and predator attack is a classic genre mashup. If done well, it could be really entertaining. Releasing in April is smart—right before the summer blockbuster season heats up.
