Fans are already demanding a return for the series

Netflix has just released their latest drama series The Waterfront, and, after binging all eight episodes, fans are already demanding the show returns for another season. So what’s the verdict?

If you haven’t seen the show yet (don’t worry it’s only been out for a day), it’s about the Buckley family, who run a fishing and restaurant business in their small North Carolina town. As they run into business trouble, they take drastic (and illegal) action to keep themselves afloat, and as the series goes on they find themselves in a lot of drama.

After eight episodes the series ends with a major suggestion the show could be coming back for another series. So is it? Here’s what we know about The Waterfront season two.

Has The Waterfront been renewed for season two?

Ok so as of right now the show has not been officially renewed for another season. However, there are several indicators The Waterfront will return.

While discussing the season finale with Tudum, series creator Kevin Williamson, said this season was all about the relationship between Cane and his father Harlan, with the suggestion being that a future season would be more centred on Belle.

“This season was about Harlan and Cane — how they reconciled their differences and how they’re going to move forward. Now Belle is a little more front and centre. She’s not living in the shadows.” Sounds like he’s already started planning another season to us.

Williamson then *doubled down* on his hopes for more The Waterfront, gushing to Screen Rant that he has not two, but three, seasons worth of plans for the show.

“I really hope people watch it and respond to it and we get a second season. I’ve just sort of figured out who these actors are in these roles, and I would love a chance to write for them and lean into them. I think the show can just go up,” he said, before dropping a major bombshell. “I think there’s a whole second season that I have planned out, and a third season, quite frankly. So I’m hoping I get the chance to tell those stories. I do think it’s a fun show, and it’s unlike anything I’ve ever done. And I just hope people enjoy it.”

We’re rejoicing!!!!

And Jake Weary who plays Cane in the series, has shared his thoughts on what a potential next season could look like.

When asked by TV Insider what he hopes would happen in season two he said: “The end of the first season feels like it’s still moving because you don’t want it to stop, right? So that’s a good sign, I think, for season two. I would like to see it just keep moving. I would like to see the family come together to stave off some universal villain.”

Who could appear in The Waterfront season two?

If season two were to get renewed we’d hope to see the majority of the cast return including:

Holt McCallany as Harlan Buckley
Maria Bello as Belle Buckley
Jake Weary as Cane Buckley
Melissa Benoist as Bree Buckley
Rafael L. Silva as Shawn West
Humberly González as Jenna Tate
Danielle Campbell as Peyton Buckley
Brady Hepner as Diller Hopkins

One person who won’t be making a comeback is Topher Grace, whose character Grady was shot dead in the finale by Cane.

What could happen in The Waterfront season two?

Season one ended with a big surprise. Another crime family the Parkers, who series creator Kevin Williamson describes as “a school of sharks” reach out to Belle and try to begin working with her, rather than Harlan and Cane. As this happens only in the last episode we would expect it to carry on as a big plot of the second season.

We’d also want to see if Cane and Jenna’s relationship is actually finished business or if there’s more to their affair as another season picks up. We’d also want to see some happiness for Bree after everything she’s gone through already.

The Waterfront is available on Netflix now
