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.

What is 'The Waterfront' about?

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.”

When does 'The Waterfront' come out?

"The Waterfront" Season 1 released on June 19 at 3 a.m. ET.

All eight episodes of the show hit Netflix at that time.
