Has The Waterfront been renewed for Season 2? Here's what we know:
Renewed or Cancelled?
The Waterfront is the latest soapy crime drama on Netflix, armed with a dysfunctional family, a simple premise and an intriguing cast of characters. Having watched the first season in its entirety, you may be wondering if this one has been renewed or cancelled. Well, wonder no more!
What is The Waterfront about?
The Waterfront is a Southern-set Netflix drama that follows the Buckley family, once rulers of Havenport's fishing industry. After patriarch Harlan Buckley suffers multiple heart attacks, the family business starts to sink.
In a desperate bid to stay afloat, Harlan's wife Belle and their son Cane secretly get involved in drug smuggling—drawing the attention of the DEA after a major shipment disappears.
As the season progresses, this dynamic takes on a slightly more sinister edge, as Harlan is pulled back into the company and the pair start working with shady characters.
We have extended coverage of The Waterfront across the site, including recaps for every episode. You can find those HERE!
Has The Waterfront been renewed for Season 2?
At the time of writing, The Waterfront has not been renewed for season 2. Generally Netflix would gauge numerous metrics before renewing a show, including how many people initially watch it and then looking at the drop-off rate.
With some shows, cancellations or renewals happen quickly. Other times, it can take months before a decision over a show's future is made. So far, Aniela has had a mixed reaction online from critics and audiences alike.
Given the way this show is set up, and the ending we receive, we're predicting that this will be renewed for a second season.
The series has lots of potential, and we also know that Netflix tend to shine a much more favourable light on soapy dramas like this.
Having said that, we do also know that completion rate is a massive metric for these streamers so that could play a pivotal role here. For now, we'll have to wait and see what happens so take our prediction with a pinch of salt!
What we know about season 2 so far:
Barely anything is known about The Waterfront season 2 at this point given Netflix haven't officially renewed or cancelled this one. Given the first season's conclusion, it does seem likely to get the nod for another season though but we'll have to wait and see.
Seeing Cane and Harlan find newfound respect for each other, while Diller and Bree also manage to go from estranged to respecting each other are two of the better moments for the finale.
When it comes to Belle though, it seems like she's prepped to be the new leader and it will almost certainly cause friction with Harlan. And what is Peyton planning? She seems way too calm after everything that's taken place with her husband; she could also be planning something too.
The final episode does end on a pretty big cliffhanger here so if this is picked up, we can expect another 8 episodes, and perhaps more dramatic mishaps and a new player in the drug game too..
We will update this page when more information becomes available, so be sure to check this page out in the near future.

Bruce Willis' wife Emma celebrates birthday with his ex Demi Moore and their family amid actor's dementia battle
Bruce Willis ' wife Emma Heming rung in her 47th birthday during a lowkey celebration with her blended family this week. The entrepreneur - who tied the knot with the Die Hard actor in 2009 - jumped to Instagram on Thursday to share moments from the special day while joined by her two children, as well as Demi Moore and Rumer Willis. Heming shares Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11, with Willis - who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) back in 2023. Moore was previously married to Bruce from 1987 until their divorce was finalized in 2000. The former couple are parents to Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 31. In one image uploaded to Emma's latest carousel of snaps, she flashed a cheerful smile during a birthday dinner. She was surrounded by her two daughters, as well as the Golden Globe winner. Rumer's daughter Louetta also joined in on the lighthearted festivities - although Bruce as well as Scout and Tallulah were notably absent from the gathering. Another picture was taken as Emma - who officially turned one year older on June 18 - blew out a candle on top of a sugary slice of cake as the group spent time outside at a restaurant. A short clip included in the post showed Louetta, two - whom Rumer shares with ex Derek Richard Thomas - sweetly wishing Heming happy birthday. Lastly, the mom-of-two shared another reel as both she and her daughters enjoyed a bike ride outside. In the caption, she penned to her nearly 1 million followers: 'Over the past few weeks, I've been wrapped in so much love for my birthday. 'From Bruce, our girl's, my mom, my family, and dear friends. I feel their love and support holding me up in ways words can't always capture.' Emma concluded with, 'Thank you to everyone who sent birthday wishes. I truly felt your continued kindness and I'm grateful. I had a beautiful day.' Tallulah jumped to the comment section and wrote to Heming, 'You are so loved.' In 2022, Bruce 'stepped away' from acting following his aphasia diagnosis and the following year, it was revealed that he has frontotemporal dementia. Tallulah jumped to the comment section and wrote to Heming, 'You are so loved' The blended family has come together to support Willis and each other amid his ongoing battle with the illness. In March, they celebrated the retired actor's 70th birthday - and shared memorable pictures onto social media. During an interview with Town & Country Magazine last year, Emma opened up about how she receives support from Demi as well as the actress' three daughters. 'The family respects the way I'm looking after him; they really support me. If I need to vent, if I need to cry, if I need to rage - because all of that can happen and it's okay to have those feelings - they are always there to listen.' Heming added, 'I'm so thankful that we are this blended family. They're very supportive, very loving, and very helpful, and a lot of people don't have that.' She also expressed at the time that she doesn't 'shield' her daughters from their dad's diagnosis. Heming explained, 'This disease is misdiagnosed, it's missed, it's misunderstood. So finally getting to a diagnosis was key so that I could learn what frontotemporal dementia is and I could educate our children.' Emma added, 'I've never tried to sugarcoat anything for them. They've grown up with Bruce declining over the years. I'm not trying to shield them from it.' 'What I learned from our therapist was that if children ask questions, they're ready to know the answer. If we could see that Bruce was struggling, I would address it with the kids so they could understand, but this disease is chronic, progressive and terminal.' Heming told the outlet that their children don't tend 'to speak about the terminal side of this with them, nor have they asked.' However, she expressed that Mabel and Evelyn 'know that Daddy's not going to get better.' Emma said that she was not going to let 'FTD to take our whole family down. Bruce wouldn't want that,' while adding that she hopes to help the 'next family out there.' Over the past weekend, she paid a heartwarming tribute to her husband in celebration of Father's Day. She uploaded a throwback photo of daughter Mabel hugging her dad and wrote, 'Happy Father's Day to all the dads living with disability or disease, showing up in the ways they can and to the children who show up for them. 'What Bruce teaches our girls goes far beyond words. Resilience, unconditional love, and the quiet strength in simply being present. This photo says so much. Love deepens. It adapts. It stays, even when everything else changes.' However, she also candidly added that 'these symbolic days stir up a lot' and admitted that she was 'profoundly sad today.' 'I wish, with every cell in my body, that things could be different for him and lighter for our family.' Emma continued, 'As they say in our FTD community, "It is what it is." And while that might sound dismissive, to me, it's not. It grounds me. It helps me return to the acceptance of what is and not fight this every step of the way like I used to. 'Today, let's celebrate the bada** dads, those who are here, and those we carry with us Onward.' Rumer also shared a post in tribute of her dad Bruce and got candid about how she 'feels a deep ache.' She shared photos of the actor from over the years, including a black and white image as she embraced Willis. 'Today is hard, I feel a deep ache in my chest to talk to you and tell you everything I'm doing and what's going on in my life. To hug you and ask you about life and your stories and struggles and successes.' The actress added, 'I wish I asked you more questions while you could still tell me about it all. 'But I know you wouldn't want me to be sad today so I'll try to just be grateful reminding myself how lucky I am that you're my dad and that you're still with me and I can still hold you and hug you and kiss your cheek and rub your head I can tell you stories.' Rumer continued, 'I can watch the way your eyes light up when you see Louetta I will be grateful for every moment I have with you. I love you so much dad happy Father's Day. 'Sending love to all those who are in the boat with me or have lost their fathers, to the single moms who are the dads too, to my future baby daddy…' Emma is also preparing to release a book titled The Unexpected Journey - which will hit shelves later this year on September 9th.

Young Sheldon fans left baffled at secret reunion they never knew about on the show
Three veteran Hollywood stars who were affiliated with the CBS hit series Young Sheldon were also linked with the Toy Story franchise, and Daily Mail is taking a closer look at the casting connection. Annie Potts, Wallace Shawn and Richard Kind each had recurring roles on the Chuck Lorre spinoff of The Big Bang Theory, which ran for seven seasons from 2017-2024. Potts, 72, played the role of Connie 'Meemaw' Tucker on 139 episodes of the CBS comedy. She also portrayed the role of Bo Peep in the Pixar franchise's 1995 debut film Toy Story, followed by 1999's Toy Story 2 and 2019's Toy Story 4. Wallace Shawn, 81, portrayed Dr. John Sturgis on Young Sheldon over 53 episodes from 2018 until the series finale last year. Shawn provided the vocals for the Rex character in all of the films and a number of adjacent projects as well. Kind, 68, played Ira Rosenbloom on Young Sheldon over three episodes from 2018-2019. He played the Bookworm in Toy Story 3. The veteran character actor has also appeared in TV shows such as Only Murders in the Building and The Goldbergs; in films such as Wolfs and tick, tick... BOOM!; and in voice roles including Inside Out, A Bug's Life, Cars and Cars 2. Potts chat with Variety in June of 2019 about her comeback to the animated series after she didn't appear in Toy Story 3 in 2010. 'I was invited back in November 2014, and I honestly didn't realize how big my role would be until I saw a screening about six weeks ago,' she said of reprising her role as Bo Peep. She continued: 'We had a script, but it kept evolving, and I never saw a whole script. None of us did. So I was clueless. 'And then, of course, when I saw it, I was gobsmacked.' Potts told the outlet that she believed the 2019 sequel Toy Story 4, in which Shawn also appeared, might 'the most emotionally satisfying of all of them in terms of both humor and heart. She added: 'You laugh, you cry - you cry, you laugh. You just keep cycling through that rinse and repeat throughout an hour and 40 minutes, and it's a good ride.' Kind and Shawn pictured exchanging lines during an episode of the show in 2018 Kind, 68, played Ira Rosenbloom on Young Sheldon and the Bookworm in Toy Story 3. Potts spoke on the evolution of the Bo Peep character and preparation being put into it, as Pixar earmarked a dozen team members to assist in further developing the character and its appearance coming into the fourth film in the franchise. 'Honestly I was so amazed that they even had a team of 12 people whose job it was to define her every gesture and the way her eyes turned and in what direction and how her hand would be extended,' Potts said. She added: 'I mean, that's usually the work that's up to me as an actress, you know? 'But I met them and I thought, "You guys are super on it! Awesome, I can just kind of sit back and let you guys make me!" And the proof is in the pudding.'

Major supermarket called out by disgruntled customer over sloppy Juneteenth cakes
Supermarket chain Kroger has been called out by a disgruntled shopper over the underwhelming designs of its Juneteenth cakes. Juneteenth is a federal holiday that takes place on June 19 each year, marking the emancipation of slaves in the US. While pursuing some of the Juneteenth-themed cakes in her local Kroger in Atlanta, Georgia this week, one shopper was left outraged by the selection compared to the rest of the store's cakes. The woman, who identified herself as 'Blaq Monalisa' on TikTok, posted a video about the incident titled 'I am done with Krogers' to the social media platform. 'This is some bulls**t,' she snapped. 'Who the hell made this ugly a** s**t?' She then showed off some of the cakes, one of which said 'free @ last' in blue icing. The phrase 'free at last', which was immortalised by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his historic 'I Have a Dream' speech, has long symbolised the fight for freedom and equality for Black people. Popular supermarket chain Kroger has been called out by a disgruntled shopper over the underwhelming designs on its Juneteenth cakes 'Y'all decorate everything else around here cute, everything else around here cute,' she continued. 'But for Juneteenth, you wanna just throw something on a freaking cookie cake and expect someone to buy it?' The woman then said that she was going to return to the store to speak to the manager about the issue. 'I'm a be in here bright, early in the morning to talk to somebody about this, because this is unacceptable,' she said. The woman did indeed return to the store the next day to discover that all the Juneteenth desserts had been removed. 'Yo, TikTok, y'all did it,' she said, referring to her original video which has so far racked up over six million views. 'I know ain't nobody buy those cookies and they gone,' she continued. 'I still feel some type of way that they didn't replace them with better Juneteenth cakes,' she added, before pointing out that the traditional 'red, white and blue' desserts looked much better. The shopper's video drew a strong reaction online, with many agreeing that the desserts appeared to be subpar. 'Why I immediately thought the "free @ last" was for someone being released from jail,' wrote one. 'If you didn't bring up juneteenth I would've thought it was a welcome home from jail cake,' wrote another. 'Gurl! Not the last one saying "Congratulations". Like, "Congratulations, you're free!"' wrote a third. 'They DEAD WRONG!!! That 'Free at last ' & 'Free' cookie cake had to be the last two they were working on before they clocked out,' added another. Kroger responded to the controversy with a statement to 'The cakes and cookies that were featured in the video were inconsistent with our provided guidance and not of the quality we would expect to see from our stores,' a spokesperson for the store said. 'The products have been removed, and we've addressed this directly with the store teams and the customer who took the initial video.' In 2021, President Joe Biden put pen to paper at the White House to make it a federally- recognized holiday to mark the emancipation of enslaved Americans 155 years earlier. The signing of the bill into law means the day is celebrated annually as part of the government calendar. The holiday has gone through many iterations including Jubilee Day, Freedom Day, Liberation Day and Emancipation Day. It celebrates the day when Union Army General George Granger freed the last slaves in Texas on June 19, 1865, which Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee described as the moment America 'truly became the land of the free and the home of the brave'.
