The Sea Beast tells the story of a time when giant monsters lived in the oceans of the world, and great hunters around the globe were tasked with taking them down.

In addition to directing The Sea Beast, Williams co-wrote the script for the film alongside Nell Benjamin. Williams also serves as a producer with Jed Schlanger. Christian Hejnal and Melissa Cobb are executive producer.
Here’s Netflix’s official synopsis for The Sea Beast:
“In an era when terrifying beasts roamed the seas, monster hunters were celebrated heroes – and none were more beloved than the great Jacob Holland. But when young Maisie Brumble stows away on his fabled ship, he’s saddled with an unexpected ally. Together they embark on an epic journey into uncharted waters and make history. From Academy Award winning filmmaker Chris Williams (Moana, Big Hero Six, Bolt), The Sea Beast takes us to where the map ends, and the true adventure begins.”
