(Netflix)
The Waterfront will not be returning for a second season. Netflix has canceled the drama after just one season. The series premiered on the streaming service in June.
Holt McCallany, Maria Bello, Jake Weary, Melissa Benoist, Rafael L. Silva, Humberly González, Danielle Campbell, and Brady Hepner star in the series, which follows the Buckley family as they watch their fishing business fall apart and turn to illegal means to save it.
Deadline shared the following about the show’s cancellation:
“The news, which comes about two months after The Waterfront’s June 19 release, is surprising because the twisted tale about North Carolina’s influential Buckley family did solid business, spending five weeks in Netflix’s global Top 10 for English-language series, including a rare three-peat at No.1, peaking at 11.6M views for its first full week of release.
That is above the delivery of another freshman drama series, which was recently renewed by Netflix, Ransom Canyon, which spent four weeks in the Top 10, peaking at No. 2 with 9.4M views for its first full week. (Fellow renewed freshman 2025 drama Forever also was in the Top 10 for four weeks, rising to No.3 with 6.7M views.)
The Waterfront did significantly better than the two other dramas Netflix has canceled so far this year after one season, Pulse and The Residence, which both spent four weeks in the Top 10, peaking at No. 3 with 8.5M views and No. 2 with 8.8M views, respectively.”
What do you think? Did you enjoy The Waterfront? Were you hoping for a second season?
I loved this show! I hate that it wasn’t renewed! The Waterfront was slow to get moving, but once it did, it was awesome!!
Loved this show! If in the top 10 for weeks, why the cancellation Netflix. I enjoyed and wanted to see where the show would go in another season.
This was a good show. We was looking forward to more seasons. So sad!
Interesting show, but the violence was too realistic for me. The dialogue was well written and delivered by the actors. I had to stop watching in the evening so that I could relax and fall asleep later.
The Waterfront was entertaining with good acting. I am certain that I am not alone in telling Netflix that they made a very bad decision when they cancelled the show.
This is a good show and I enjoyed watching it and loved the characters. Bring it back please!
TERRIFIC SHOW not fair
That makes me so mad! Great show! Bring it back!
This stinks!!! This was a great, great show!!! BRING IT BACK!!!!!
