The Waterfront Season 2: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on July 3, 2025, 17:12 IST Netflix's The Waterfront has reeled in fans with its intense drama about the Buckley family's battle to save their North Carolina fishing empire. Since its June 19, 2025, premiere, the show, created by Kevin Williamson ( Scream ), has topped Netflix charts, leaving viewers craving more after a wild Season 1 finale. Warning: Season 1 spoilers ahead! Here's everything we know about a potential Season 2, from release date guesses to returning cast and possible storylines. The Waterfront Season 2 Potential Release Date Without an official renewal, a release date is speculative, but we can look at Season 1's timeline for clues. Ordered in May 2024, filmed from August to December, and released in June 2025, Season 1 took about 13 months. If Netflix greenlights Season 2 by late 2025 and follows a similar schedule, filming might start in spring 2026, aiming for a summer or fall 2026 release—think July or August. If production stretches longer, as some Netflix dramas do, we could be waiting until early 2027. Keep an eye on Netflix's socials for updates. The Waterfront Season 2 Expected Cast Assuming Season 2 happens, most key players should return, based on their roles in the Season 1 finale. Here's who we expect: Holt McCallany as Harlan Buckley : The family patriarch, central to the business and drama. : The family patriarch, central to the business and drama. Maria Bello as Belle Buckley : Her secret deal in the finale makes her a major player. : Her secret deal in the finale makes her a major player.

Danielle Campbell as Peyton Buckley : Another Buckley navigating family chaos. : Another Buckley navigating family chaos. Brady Hepner as Diller Hopkins : Bree's teen son, tied to her story. : Bree's teen son, tied to her story. Humberly González as Jenna Tate : Cane's ex, likely to stir more drama. : Cane's ex, likely to stir more drama. Dave Annable as Wes Larsen : A local businessman with a growing role. : A local businessman with a growing role. Terry Serpico as Emmett Parker: Leader of the rival Parker family, set up as a new threat. Topher Grace as Grady is out, killed off in the finale. Characters like Sheriff Porter (Michael Gaston) and DEA Agent Sanchez (Gerardo Celasco) also died, so they're unlikely to return except maybe in flashbacks. The Waterfront Season 2 Potential Plot The Season 1 finale left big questions for Season 2. Here's what could unfold, based on the ending and Williamson's hints: Belle's Betrayal: Belle's deal to sell the Buckley land to the Parker family, described as dangerous rivals, could spark conflict with Harlan, who's fighting to save the business. This sets up family tension and a power struggle. Bree's Journey: After surviving Grady's attack, Bree's focus might be rebuilding her life and protecting her son, Diller, while staying sober. Cane and Shawn's Dynamic: The half-brother revelation could unite or divide them as they face new threats, especially after Cane's violent choice in the finale. The Parkers' Rise: The Parker family, introduced as enemies in the finale, could push the Buckleys deeper into crime, escalating the stakes. New Investigations: With deaths piling up, new law enforcement could scrutinize the Buckleys' shady dealings. The show's blend of family drama and crime, compared to Ozark , promises more betrayals and action. Williamson's knack for twists suggests Season 2 will dig into the Buckleys' personal and criminal challenges. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

Robert De Niro in a Feel-Good Movie? Yup, and It's Trending in Netflix's Top 10
Every week, Netflix unveils its Top 10 lists for the week before, ranking TV shows and movies by viewership. While Netflix regularly churns out new ripped-from-the-headlines documentaries and original action films that tend to dominate audience views every week (Trainwreck: Poop Cruise is No. 1 -- how could it not be with a title like that), one of the biggest films in the Netflix Top 10 for the week of June 23 is a charming, understated comedy from 2015. The Intern, starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway, was written and directed by coastal-grandma auteur Nancy Meyers, but unlike so many of her most popular films, The Intern is not a rom-com. Instead, it's a tender story of friendship between a widowed retiree named Ben (De Niro) and fashion entrepreneur Jules (Hathaway), whose company hires him as an intern. While Jules, a successful woman who runs an e-commerce fashion website, initially brushes off Ben's gentlemanly charm and advice as old-fashioned, they soon develop a mentor-mentee relationship where, in a surprising twist, Ben is the mentor. Jules is dealing with a cheating husband, a busy home life and the threat of being ousted by her own board members. She's stressed, and Ben is the last person she needs to babysit. Maybe in less capable hands, Ben would come off as more paternal or instructive, but De Niro's portrayal is so gentle and full of respect and reverence for Jules' success that he's a comfort to watch. (The movie was originally cast with Tina Fey and Michael Caine as the leads, which would have made for a much different film.) Warner Bros. De Niro typically toggles between tough guy roles and roles that parody being a tough guy, and here he's allowed to be something completely different. As a widower searching for both connection and purpose, Ben's desire to help Jules is genuine, and once she gets past her own preconceived notions about him, their mutual empathy for one another becomes the foundation for a deeper friendship. The film contains all the hallmarks of a Nancy Meyers movie: New romance, gorgeous kitchens -- the woman knows what the people want. Jules has a fabulously glossy Brooklyn home, and while Ben develops a romance with a massage therapist (played by Renee Russo), but this movie is distinctly a workplace comedy, not a rom-com. However, The Intern even more than that, it's a true feel-good movie, an antidote to a bad mood. The polar opposite of Poop Cruise. (Listen, I'm not knocking it, I totally watched Poop Cruise. With that title, how could you not?) Since The Intern, De Niro has worked relentlessly, mostly playing criminals again in films like Killers of the Flower Moon, The Irishman and The Alto Knights. Maybe The Intern's popularity on Netflix will make him realize we're thirsty to see more of that big softie we know is buried beneath that tough exterior.
