First look at Netflix’s The Waterfront starring Holt McCallany, Maria Bello and Melissa Benoist

April 11, 2025 by Ricky Church

Netflix has released a batch of first look photos for its upcoming drama series The Waterfront, created by Scream‘s Kevin Williamson. Starring Holt McCallany, Maria Bello, Melissa Benoist and Jake Weary and set for a June 19th premiere, the series is based on true events detailing the collapse of a family’s fishing empire and their methods to stay in business by any means necessary. Check out the photos below…

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 — finds herself entangled in a complicated relationship that could threaten the family’s future forever.

The Waterfront stars Holt McCallany, Maria Bello, Melissa Benoist, Jake Weary, Danielle Campbell, Zach Roerig, Rafael L. Silva, Humberly González, Brady Hepner, Topher Grace, Dave Annabele, Michael Gaston, Gerardo Celasco, Brian Ashton Smith, Joshua Brady and Bryan Terry Snell.

The Waterfront will premiere on Netflix on June 19th.
