How to watch 'The Waterfront,' new series from 'Dawson's Creek' creator
Move over, "Outer Banks": a new North Carolina-based drama series just hit Netflix.
"The Waterfront" follows a prominent fishing family in coastal North Carolina whose legacy is at risk, according to the show's description.
According to Netflix, the show's first season, which premiered on June 19, is "as much about family dynamics as they are about the lengths people will go to when their legacy is on the line."
Kevin Williamson, the creator of hit shows like "Dawson's Creek" and "The Vampire Diaries," is the writer and executive producer of the show.
It also features a star-studded cast, including Holt McCallany, who is known for "Mindhunter," and Melissa Benoist, the former star of "Supergirl."
Here's what to know about "The Waterfront" Season 1.
The show follows the Buckley family of Havenport, North Carolina. They have long dominated the town's fishing industry and restaurant scene, but the family's empire has started to crumble after patriarch Harlan Buckley suffered from two heart attacks, Netflix says.
His wife, Belle, and son, Cane, are working to keep the family businesses afloat while daughter Bree faces her own struggles in addiction recovery, per Netflix.
Williamson told Netflix's Tudum the series is about trying to find the 'lesser evil' in a difficult situation.
'It's just about a bunch of people who make mistakes. They do some bad things and then they get in deeper and deeper and deeper,' he said. 'Sometimes they keep making worse mistakes and sometimes they find their way out and do the good thing.'
"The Waterfront" Season 1 released on June 19 at 3 a.m. ET.
All eight episodes of the show hit Netflix at that time.
Only Netflix subscribers will have access to watch "The Waterfront." The service has several monthly plans available, which start at $7.99 per month. The platform doesn't offer free trials.
The show's entire first season will be available to stream on the platform starting on June 19 at 3 a.m. ET.

Will Madelyn Cline root on Coastal Carolina in the College World Series?
In the 2025 College World Series final, we know this much: Livvy Dunne and Paul Skenes will be rooting on their alma mater, LSU. But who could be backing the Tigers' opponent, Coastal Carolina? For that answer, we might have to look at the other Carolina, specifically North Carolina's Outer Banks. That's because Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline (who plays Sarah Cameron) might be a fan of the Chanticleers. Per an interview with Arts Intel in 2023, Cline was home-schooled in Goose Creek, South Carolina before she attended Costal Carolina for just her freshman year in 2017. She dropped out and drove to L.A. I haven't unearthed any posts on social media or discussions in articles about whether she roots for the university's sports teams or not, sadly. So maybe we'll see her fandom come out as the Chanticleers -- that's a type of rooster, in case you're wondering -- fight to win their first men's College World Series title since 2016.

Emails provide glimpse into how Bill Belichick handled fallout from Jordon Hudson's viral moment in CBS interview
Bill Belichick has said that Jordon Hudson was "simply doing her job" when she chimed in during his interview with "CBS Sunday Morning." (Photo by) Bill Belichick told North Carolina 'I don't want to make a wrong move here' when responding to the aftermath of his book interview with 'CBS Sunday Morning." The late-April interview went viral for the way that Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson chimed in when the 73-year-old coach was asked a question about how the two met. Instead of Belichick answering — and likely deflecting — the innocuous question from interviewer, the 24-year-old Hudson curtly said the topic was off-limits. Advertisement That moment thrust the relationship between the two into an even bigger spotlight and led to Belichick releasing a statement saying that Hudson had no direct involvement with North Carolina football and that he had a 'personal and professional' relationship with her. In communications between Belichick and employees at North Carolina obtained by WRAL, the coach wanted advice on his post-interview statement and said that Hudson was at the interview because no PR representative from his publisher Simon & Schuster was there. From WRAL: 'Jordon and I have both a personal & professional relationship,' Belchick wrote in the email. 'This is not a secret. Jordon assists me with my personal media, which is why I asked UNC to forward media requests (E.G. CBS 60 Minutes) to her. Jordon has zero involvement in the UNC football program, beyond the degree that my personal media intersects with it.' CBS wanted to do the interview in Chapel Hill, Belichick wrote in an email, 'which I rejected because UNC was not part of the book.' The interview took place in Annapolis, Maryland, at the site of Belichick's former high school. Belichick wore a tattered U.S. Naval Academy sweatshirt during the interview. His father coached at Navy for decades. 'Jordon was present at the CBS interview because David Kass, the Simon & Schuster publicist, was not there,' Belichick wrote, referring to the publisher of his book. 'I included Jordon in the book acknowledgments because she was a creative contributor to the book, including having the idea for formatting the 4 special pages in the book.' Belichick also claimed that CBS 'secretly' had a camera trained on Hudson during the interview. In an email, Belichick said that Hudson had asked where she could sit off camera and that 'secretly, CBS had a camera focused on Jordon where lead producer Gabe [Falcon] instructed her to sit.' Advertisement The coach also said that CBS wanted to do a walk-and-talk with Doukopil for the interview package but he declined after the question about Hudson. According to TMZ, the moment that CBS aired of Hudson was not the only time she chimed in during the interview. In his statement, Belichick said that Hudson was 'simply doing her job' and said that he only wanted to focus on topics in his book during promotional interviews. He also added that he was 'surprised when unrelated topics were introduced.' Doukopil asked Belichick about New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and why he was omitted from the book. Advertisement If the subject of Kraft was off-limits to Belichick because he wasn't in the book, the same can't be said for Hudson. She is mentioned in the book acknowledgments and Belichick told UNC staff that she was included 'because she was a creative contributor to the book, including having the idea for formatting the four special pages in the book.' After Belichick's statement was released, CBS said there were no preconditions on the interview and that fact was 'confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was completed.'
