The Latest Update On ‘The Waterfront' Season 2
The Waterfront Well, The Waterfront has one more day on the top of Netflix's Top 10 list before Squid Game sweeps over it like a tsunami. But that's expected, and no reflection on The Waterfront itself. Still, the question remains about whether The Waterfront will return for season 2. Netflix hasn't announced one yet. However, it's very, very early for them to do so unless something is a colossal smash hit. Even then, it can take a while for it to be official. But we can go through the evidence about how this is going to go, and I've been doing this long enough to be right probably 95% of the time. And all indications are that The Waterfront is almost certainly going to get a season 2. One thing not being considered is how well this fills a hole in Netflix's crime-based line-up. A crime-based line-up that frequently includes bodies of water as a plot point, funnily enough. The Waterfront The shows I'm referencing are Bloodline, the thriller that ran for three seasons in 2015. And then the higher-profile offering, Ozark, which ran for four seasons and ended in 2022. Ozark specifically was a big show for Netflix and no doubt they'd like to find something to fill that gap. And given that both of those shows ran for multiple seasons, I'd say it's a good bet The Waterfront does the same. But there are other pillars of Netflix renewal to consider. Viewership – You can't do better than debuting at #1 and staying there for a long time. Full numbers are not in yet, but every indication is that The Waterfront is probably meeting or exceeding expectations on that front. Reception – It's good, not great. A 70% from both critics and fans is decent enough, and the show certainly isn't bad. But Netflix probably cares the least about reception, especially critic reception, in any of these categories. It's almost always viewership versus cost. Cost – It has to be pretty low. No enormous blockbuster effects here. And it has lower-profile actors (though still talented) than both Bloodline and Ozark ever did. I mean, Topher Grace is probably the most recognizable face of the season. Or perhaps Melissa Benoist if you're a big CW Arrowverse fan. But that means lower salaries. Completion – The final factor here is one we just don't know; how many people stay through to the end of the series, indicating interest in a second season. One indicator of this is just how long it remains in a top spot, especially #1, as that's a good sign that people are watching the season over the course of multiple days rather than doing an episode or two on day one and giving up. All signs point to yes here. I don't know when this will be made official but expect The Waterfront season 2 to be announced in a few weeks or even months here.

Jacob Fatu vs Solo Sikoa: Who leads the charge in Net Worth before WWE Night of Champions 2025?
Image via WWE Solo Sikoa stepped out of Roman Reigns' shadow after WrestleMania 40 to form his own Bloodline. In the months that followed, he recruited one of his most powerful mercenaries, Jacob Fatu, who became his Enforcer. However, after Solo lost the Ula-Fala back to Reigns, Fatu branched out as a singles competitor and became much more popular than Solo in the process. This led to friction between the duo that finally exploded when Sikoa said the worst about Fatu behind his back, and Fatu cost him his chance at winning Money in the Bank. The duo is set to collide in singles action for the first time. However, before that happens, it is interesting to take a look at the comparison between their financial standings. Who wins the net worth race between Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu? — SKWrestling_ (@SKWrestling_) As of now, there are no major public records available for Jacob Fatu's net worth. However, according to Asianet, his earnings are estimated to be close to Solo Sikoa, which, according to sources like Sportskeeda and Celebrity Net Worth, is estimated to be around $3 million. Sikoa's earnings come primarily from his WWE contract, making him a prominent wrestling name. Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu are set to collide in a huge title match Jacob Fatu achieved major singles success at WrestleMania 41 when he defeated LA Knight and won the WWE United States Championship. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Neuropatia incomodando à noite?

Matteo as his new ally in the Bloodline. On an edition of SmackDown before Money in the Bank, Sikoa talked ill about Fatu to Matteo, which the Samoan Werewolf heard. He later attacked Solo Sikoa during the Money in the Bank ladder match, beginning their feud in full force. The duo also had a heated exchange on SmackDown, after which Fatu offered to put the WWE United States title against him.

Alex Warren taps BLACKPINK star ROSÉ for On My Mind
Alex Warren and ROSÉ have released their surprise collaboration, On My Mind. The Ordinary hitmaker had been teasing fans about teaming up with the BLACKPINK star on his social media accounts and the pair have now delivered a swoon-worthy love ballad. The track is a new addition to Warren's album You'll Be Alright, Kid. Set for release on July 18, the collection features all of the tracks from the 24-year-old star's debut LP You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) alongside newbies such as smash hit Ordinary and Bloodline with Jelly Roll. You'll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) focused on "dealing with grief", while You'll Be Alright, Kid "turns the page with healing, resilience and optimism." February's Ordinary spent 11 consecutive weeks at No.1 on the UK chart, marking the longest running No.1 in the UK by a US male solo act in more than 70 years and the joint longest running No.1 of the 2020s, tied with Ed Sheeran's Bad Habits. On the viral success of the TikTok hit, Warren told Variety: 'I am so forever grateful for all the support and will never stop saying thank you. 'I wouldn't have any of this if it weren't for my fans, so I am so appreciative.' Recounting how quickly Ordinary came to fruition, he shared: 'We wrote 'Ordinary' in December last year, started teasing it in January, and released it in February. 'In the music industry, that's a crazy fast turnaround, but we did that because we knew immediately how good it was. I've never had a song so quickly 'click' and I just had to put it out as soon as possible.'

Where was ‘The Waterfront' filmed? Behind the scenes on Netflix's new crime drama
Netflix's The Waterfront mixes Ozark with Succession – and it all unfolds by the water in North Carolina. The show is the handiwork of Scream creator Kevin Williamson and boasts of an intriguing cast, including chiselled character actor Holt McCallany, Mario Bello, and actor-singer Melissa Benoist. The dynastic drama, which should also appeal to fans of Netflix's Florida Keys thriller Bloodline (2015-2017), is set in the coastal town of Havenport, North Carolina. Here's where you can find its seaside setting in real life. What happens in The Waterfront? After suffering not just one, but two heart attacks, Harlan Buckley (Black Bag 's Holt McCallany) is struggling to keep his family afloat as the controlling destiny in the fictional coastal town of Havenport, North Carolina. For decades, the Buckley family have controlled the local fishing industry and the town's picturesque restaurant scene. Following Harlan's brushes with death, it's up to his long-suffering wife Belle (A History of Violence 's Maria Bello) and their son Cane (Jake Weary) to make sure that the Buckley family maintains its dominance and reputation. Unfortunately for Harlan, that approach soon gets the family into even more trouble. Despite his ill-health, Harlan is forced to take back control – all while trying to keep an eye on his daughter Bree (Melissa Benoist), who lost custody of her son after her issues with addiction. With stunning locations and idyllic views, as well as murder, sex, romance, betrayal, and plenty of melodrama, The Waterfront is the sort of Netflix show you begin on Friday, only to have somehow watched it all by Saturday afternoon. Here's everything you need to know about its locations, cast, and how to watch it. Where was The Waterfront filmed? There is some bad news for fans of The Waterfront who are eager to visit the city of Havenport – it doesn't actually exist. Instead, The Waterfront was shot in the cities of Wilmington and Southport, North Carolina. Wilmington, North Carolina According to Port City Daily, when production took place in Wilmington, the cast and crew shot at the Suites On Market motel, the Cotton Exchange shopping complex by the Riverfront, on North Front Street in the Historic district, round the corner at the private Cape Fear Club, and at the Little Drum Landing event venue on Ann Street. Southport, North Carolina Meanwhile over in Southport, the city's officials took to Instagram to reveal that filming occurred in various restaurants, including Fishy Fishy Cafe, Morningstar Marina, and Potter's Seafood, each of which are bound to explode in popularity once The Waterfront hits Netflix. Kevin Williamson, The Waterfront's creator and showrunner who also wrote Scream, The Faculty, Dawson's Creek, and The Vampire Diaries, has made a habit out of shooting in his home state. Williamson was born in New Bern, North Carolina, and attended East Carolina University in nearby Greenville. I Know What You Did Last Summer, which Williamson wrote, was also shot in Southport back in 1996, while his beloved teen drama Dawson's Creek filmed in and around Wilmington for its six seasons between 1998 and 2003. Williamson has also teased that The Waterfront needed to be both set in and shot in North Carolina, because it was inspired by true events. While he's yet to provide concrete details on who influenced the Buckley family, his father Wade Williamson worked as a fisherman in North Carolina. Williamson even admitted to the Netflix website that his dad was a drug runner during this time. 'I come from a long line of fishermen,' explains Williamson. 'The fishing industry sort of upturned in the '80s – it all started to go away, and my dad couldn't feed his family. So someone came along and said, 'Hey, if you do this one thing, you can make all this money.' And it was hard to say no to… my dad – a very, very good man – got tempted to do some things that weren't so legal and got in some trouble. [But] it put food on the table, helped me go to college.' Who is in The Waterfront? The Waterfront looks destined to attract a cavalcade of viewers thanks to its all-star cast, too. In recent years, Holt McCallany has become one of most underrated actors in America, thanks to his work in Mindhunter and The Iron Claw. The leading role of Harlan gives McCallany plenty to dig into and he clearly relishes playing a despicable but still captivating patriarch. Maria Bello is the perfect foil for McCallany as his wife Mae. Audiences will recognise her from the likes of A History Of Violence, Grown Ups, Prisoners, and Beef, and she always makes everything she appears in better merely with her presence. Mae's decision to put her family first leads her to make some very bad decisions, but Bello ensures that you always still relate to her efforts. The other most recognisable performer in The Waterfront is Melissa Benoit, who shot to fame with the titular role in Supergirl, which ran for six seasons. She also appeared in the Oscar winning Whiplash, the Paramount miniseries Waco, and the action thriller Patriots Day. But the character Bree is much more hot-tempered and cunning than we've seen her before. That '70s Show star Topher Grace plays against type as drug smuggler Grady. While he comes from a rich family of lawyers and doctors, Grady made some poor decisions in the tech world that landed him in jail. After being released from prison, he started a poppy farm which ultimately leads to him butting heads with the Buckley family. The Waterfront's cast is rounded out by Jake Weary as Harlan's only son Cane, Humberly González as Cane's high school sweetheart Jenna, who has just returned to town and causes Cane to reconsider his relationship with his devoted wife Peyton, played by Danielle Campbell. There's also Gerardo Celasco as DEA Agent Marcus Sanchez, who keeps a watchful eye on the criminal exploits of the Buckley family. How can I watch The Waterfront and when does it come out? All eight episodes of The Waterfront will be available to watch on Netflix on June 19. Is there a trailer for The Waterfront? Yes, there is – in fact, you can watch it below.

The Waterfront: Netflix's New Crime Drama Release Date and Plot
Get ready for peak family drama, as Netflix's The Waterfront is washing up on shore this Thursday (June 19). Starring Holt McCallany, Maria Bello, Melissa Benoist, and Jake Weary, the new drama centers around the fictional Buckley family who are trying to maintain control of their North Carolina fishing empire. Inspired by true events and written and executively produced by Dawson Creek's Kevin Williamson, The Waterfront explores the family dynamics and the lengths people will go to when their legacy is on the line. "This is about a working man who's trying to make a go of it for his family. They've pulled themselves up from nothing and they've built this mini fishing empire in their small little town," creator Williamson told Tudum. "Now it's being taken away from them bit by bit. They'll do anything to hold onto it, because it represents their family." While yet to drop on the streaming site, the show has already drawn comparison to some of our fave shows. "Sounds like Ozark meets Outer Banks definitely keeping an eye on this one," one fan wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "So Bloodline, Ozark, and Yellowstone all in one," another said. Read on for everything you need to know about the series, including how many episodes there are and who's in the cast. The Waterfront will air on Netflix on Thursday, June 19. Inspired by true events, The Waterfront focuses on the flawed Buckley family, as they attempt to retain control of their fishing empire, driving them to increasingly dangerous activities to keep their heads above water. The official synopsis reads: "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 Diller (Brady Hepner) — finds herself entangled in a complicated relationship that could threaten the family's future forever." Below is a cast list for The Waterfront: Topher Grace and Dave Annable also appear in the series. There are eight episodes of The Waterfront. All episodes will be available to stream on June 19. The Waterfront premieres on Netflix on Thursday, June 19.
