‘The Waterfront’ Sets June Premiere Date on Netflix: First Look Images

Kevin Williamson‘s upcoming family drama “The Waterfront” has a premiere date. All eight episodes will debut on Netflix on June 19.

The Universal Television series, inspired by true events, is “as much about family dynamics as they are about the lengths people will go to when their legacy is on the line,” per the official description.

The cast includes Holt McCallany, Maria Bello, Jake Weary, Melissa Benoist, Rafael L. Silva, Humberly González, Danielle Campbell and Brady Hepner. Topher Grace, Dave Annable, Michael Gaston, Gerardo Celasco and Zach Roerig guest star.

Below is the official synopsis:

For decades, the Buckley family has ruled Havenport, North Carolina, dominating everything from the local fishing industry to the town’s restaurant scene. But their fishing empire has started to crumble as patriarch Harlan Buckley (Holt McCallany) recovers from two heart attacks, and his wife Belle (Maria Bello) and son Cane (Jake Weary) venture into the deep end to keep the family businesses afloat.

As their attempts spiral out of control and into treacherous waters, Harlan steps back in to take command. Facing her own demons, Buckley daughter Bree (Melissa Benoist) — an addict in recovery who’s lost custody of her son — finds herself entangled in a complicated relationship that could threaten the family’s future forever.

Williamson serves as writer, executive producer and showrunner while Ben Fast, Michael Narducci and Marcos Siega also executive produce. “The Waterfront” was filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina — where Williamson’s “Dawson’s Creek” took place — and Southport, North Carolina.
