It’s been a strong start to the year for Holt McCallany, who has a small role in The Amateur and will also play Serling in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. McCallany is adding new movie roles to his filmography like it’s nothing, and he’s also set to star in a new TV show that just got a thrilling first look. Netflix has debuted the first official trailer for The Waterfront, the series in which McCallany stars alongside Maria Bello, Jake Weary, Melissa Benoist, Rafael L. Silva, Humberly González, Danielle Campbell, and Brady Hepner. Filling out the supporting cast in guest-starring roles are Topher Grace, Dave Annable, Michael Gaston, Gerardo Celasco, and Zach Roerig. The show was written and created for television by Kevin Williamson, and it was filmed in Wilmington and Southport, North Carolina.
The series follows the Buckley family, who, after years of ruling Havenport, North Carolina’s fishing and restaurant scene, have fallen out of favor after Harlan (McCallany) suffered back-to-back heart attacks. This leads his son Cane (Weary) and wife Belle (Bello) to venture into uncharted territory to find ways to put the family back on top. After his wife and son fail to grab the power that his family so desperately seeks, Harlan steps in to take control of things for himself. Harlan’s daughter Bree (Benoist) is a recovering addict who has lost custody of her son and finds herself in a relationship that could threaten the entire family. The show, which is set against the backdrop of the North Carolina coast, will consist of eight episodes. All episodes will premiere on June 19.
What Else Has ‘The Waterfront’ Creator Kevin Williamson Written?
Kevin Williamson is best known for his work on the Scream franchise. Williamson is also known for his work on I Know What You Did Last Summer, the 1997 cult classic horror film that’s being remade with the same title.

Williamson has also worked on other projects over the years, such as The Faculty (Jordana Brewster), Cursed (Jesse Eisenberg), and The Following (Kevin Bacon).
