The suspense is killing us!
Any show about a ruthless drug-smuggling scheme buried under the surface of an outwardly peaceful small town is sure to leave viewers hooked. Netflix’s The Waterfront is no exception — the new drama swam to number one on Netflix’s Top 10 upon its release, and after a finale that delivered one shocker after the next, viewers are fishing for signs of Season 2.
Set on the coast of North Carolina, The Waterfront follows the Buckley family as they struggle to keep their fishing empire above water. When family patriarch Harlan (Holt McCallany) suffers two heart attacks, his son Cane (Jake Weary) and wife Belle (Maria Bello) must resort to doing business with an underground drug cartel for cash. They must also care for Bree (Melissa Benoist), Cane’s recovering alcoholic sister who wishes to reconnect with her son after losing custody of him.
The finale was a monsoon of twists: after drug lord Grady (Topher Grace) shoots Bree and throws her overboard, Harlan and Cane rescue her and take revenge, leaving Grady swimming with the fishes.
