There’s a saying that “nothing in life is guaranteed” and wow, does that feel true this week. Netflix has officially canceled The Waterfront, one of its most popular shows of the summer, and fans are not taking the news well.
Despite debuting at number one just days after its June release and spending five weeks in Netflix’s Global Top 10 chart for English-language series (three of those in the top spot, no less), per Deadline, it still wasn’t enough to secure a second season.
The cancellation comes about two months after the series first dropped on the streamer. Loosely inspired by the real-life story of creator Kevin Williamson, the show followed the Buckley family—generational fishermen dealing with secrets, betrayal, addiction and greed—in the fictional town of Havenport, North Carolina.
