The Waterfront filming locations: Where the Netflix NC drama was shot
The Waterfront is Netflix's latest addition to its catalogue of crime thrillers. Directed and created by Kevin Williamson, the show is closely tied to anecdotal incidents from his own childhood. Considering the deeply personal nature of this project, it's no wonder that Williamson chose to return to a location he's all too familiar with and comfortable in: North Carolina. The Waterfront, directed by Kevin Williamson, is a Netflix crime thriller that reflects his childhood in North Carolina.

Having previously directed iconic pieces of pop culture history such as Dawson's Creek, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and the fifth Scream movie, Wilmington (a small town in North Carolina) is the common string tying these films and shows together. Since The Waterfront is a heavily location-dependent story, North Carolina turned out to provide the perfect backdrop for Williamson's fictional town of Havenport. Along with Wilmington, multiple locations in Southport have also been used for filming. 'I grew up in North Carolina, as you know, in a very, very small town, very much Southport, where we filmed this show,' Williamson said to Screen Rant. The Waterfront plot The Waterfront tells the story of a family patriarch who struggles to maintain his family ties via his fishing and restaurant business and ultimately ends up resorting to smuggling drugs to make ends meet. This is a direct reflection of Williamson's childhood where his father, whom he considers to be 'the greatest man alive', was a fisherman who failed to make ends meet and was subsequently imprisoned for drug trafficking.

Beyond detailing Gacy's horrific crimes, the series also explores the social context of the era, including societal attitudes toward homosexuality and the negligence of law enforcement.
