What will be the next step?
Released on Netflix in June 2025, “The Waterfront” has captivated the audience with its story.
Kevin Williamson’s show, inspired by his family’s history, shows the story of the Buckley family of a coastal town called Havenport.
Family secrets
The fishing business of this wealthy family of Havenport is sinking, and they are trying to save their empire by working with drug smugglers.
Interestingly, the story is inspired by the experiences of Williamson’s own father, who worked delivering drugs on his boat in the 80s.
Possibility of Season 2
Although Netflix has not yet officially announced Season 2, discussions are going on between the show’s producers and cast.
Jake Weary, who plays Ken Buckley, said that he has talked with Williamson about the next season.
“I think it’s ominous to talk about storylines until there’s official approval,” Vieri said.
“I’m a little pessimistic, so I hope we get a Season 2, but until it actually happens, I don’t like to talk about it.”
Williamson’s plans
Kevin Williamson has revealed that he has multiple seasons of “The Waterfront” planned.
“I have a whole second season planned, and to be honest, a third season,” he told ScreenRant.
“I hope I get to tell those stories. It’s a fun show, and I’ve never done anything like this before.”
Season 1 ending
In the final episode of the first season, Grady (Topher Grace) kidnaps Bree (Melissa Benoist) and her son Diller on his boat.
However, Kane and Harlan Buckley manage to rescue them and take down Grady.
But the real twist comes when it’s revealed that the family’s matriarch Bell (Maria Bello) has been making a secret deal with the rival Parker family.
In the final scene of the finale, Emmett Parker addresses her as “boss,” revealing that she, not Harlan, is now the real boss of the Buckley family.
What will happen in season 2?
If season 2 comes, it will see a power struggle within the Buckley family.
According to Williamson, “Bell will now be on the front lines at the beginning of season 2.
It will completely change the dynamics of the family, where they will have to choose sides because the family will be a little torn apart.”
Also, the Parker family will play a big role next season. Williamson says they will be “even more complicated than the Buckleys and even more dangerous than Grady.”
Cast
If the show does return, main cast members like McElhaney, Bello, Viary, and Benoist are expected to return.
However, the chances for Grace’s character are slim, as she takes two bullets to her face and falls into the ocean.
Right now the first season of “The Waterfront” is available for streaming on Netflix.
