Fishing Empire Sinks into Dangerous Waters as Buckley Family Fights for Survival

In the drama series "The Waterfront," which premiered last month, a prominent North Carolina family finds themselves in a desperate struggle to keep their fishing empire afloat. Created by Kevin Williamson, the show follows the Buckley family as they navigate increasingly treacherous waters in their efforts to maintain their legacy.

The series stars Holt McCallany as family patriarch Harlan Buckley, alongside Melissa Benoist as his daughter Bree, Jake Weary as son Cane, and Maria Bello as wife Belle. The explosive season finale has left the Buckleys facing an uncertain future, with Williamson hinting at more conflict between Harlan and Cane in the upcoming second season.

According to the showrunner, Harlan and Cane's newfound understanding, forged when Cane stepped up to kill a dangerous adversary, may have brought them closer together, but Williamson believes they have yet to fully repair their complex father-son relationship. Moving forward, the two will face more challenges as they continue to navigate their dynamic.

Meanwhile, Belle's actions have also come to the forefront, as she was revealed to be the new boss of a character named Wes, whom she had reunited with in a bloody, beaten state. Williamson suggests that Belle, who has long been pulling the strings behind the scenes, is now ready to step out of her husband's shadow and take control of the family's future.
