Topher Grace Stars as Opium Kingpin in Netflix Thriller ‘The Waterfront’ Trailer
“Uh-oh, things are getting pretty intense in Netflix’s new show, The Waterfront! The trailer just dropped, and it looks like Topher Grace is channeling his inner opium kingpin in this family drama set in North Carolina. Imagine Ozark meets Bloodline with a splash of Virgin River – intriguing, right? Get ready to binge-watch all eight episodes premiering on June 19.
Inspired by true events, according to Netflix, The Waterfront is the brainchild of Kevin Williamson, the mastermind behind Scream, Dawson’s Creek, and The Vampire Diaries. But what true events exactly? We couldn’t find any details on that, but Netflix assures us it’s based on something real – we tried asking them twice.
The show is a juicy tale about the Buckley family, who have been calling the shots in Havenport, NC for ages, ruling everything from fishing to local restaurants. But with patriarch Harlan Buckley (played by Holt McCallany) recovering from two heart attacks, things start to get rocky. His wife Belle (Maria Bello) and son Cane (Jake Weary) dive headfirst into the deep end to save the family business, as chaos ensues. Meanwhile, Harlan steps back into the picture to restore order, and daughter Bree (played by Melissa Benoist), struggles with her own battles as an addict.
It’s safe to say that The Waterfront is packed with drama and power struggles, and we can’t wait to see how it all unfolds. Stay tuned for a thrilling ride through North Carolina’s dark side. And remember, don’t mess with Topher Grace – he’s definitely not the Venom you remember!”
