The series comes from showrunner Kevin Williamson, who is known for his previous work on the Scream film franchise, as well as TV shows including Dawson’s Creek and The Vampire Diaries.
Read on for everything you need to know about The Waterfront.
Is The Waterfront based on a true story?
Williamson has described the series as a "memory piece", but the characters, although based around crucial figures in his life, are nominally fictional.
The series is also set in the present day, rather than recreating Williamson's younger days. He has called it "all fiction", but the characters and elements of the story have been drawn from his memory.
What has Kevin Williamson said about his inspiration for The Waterfront?
He told Tudum of this new show: "It’s a little more adult Kevin. It’s me looking back on my life growing up. It’s reflection, it’s nostalgic, it’s a little bit of a memory piece. But it’s also set in today’s world, it’s current, and it’s a story about a broken family trying to fix themselves and not really knowing how."
"He’s a bit of a mystery box. You’re either going to get rugged and tough and hardcore or you’re going to get vulnerable and emotional and honest. I love those qualities."
He explained: "A lot of families have that strong matriarch at the centre that keeps everything floating. Mine kept everything going. I got to school and graduated college because of the fire she lit under my butt."
"Back in the '80s, my dad got into some trouble," he said. "He was a fisherman, and he got hooked up with some people that offered him some money to run [drugs] on his fishing boat.
Williamson explained that his dad told him to "Wait till I'm dead," and to cast Kevin Costner, to which he said: "I got one out of two."
