The Waterfront Trailer: Topher Grace Is A Gun-Toting Opium Dealer In Kevin Williamson Netflix Drama

The last time we saw Topher Grace on Netflix, he was playing boy next door Eric Forman on That '90s Show. The next time we see him... will be very different.

Netflix has released the official trailer for The Waterfront, a new drama series from Kevin Williamson (Dawson's Creek, The Vampire Diaries) about the Buckleys, a prominent North Carolina family who has ruled over their local fishing and restaurant scenes for decades.

"But their fishing empire has started to crumble as patriarch Harlan Buckley recovers from two heart attacks," the official logline warns, "and his wife Belle and son Cane venture into the deep end to keep the family businesses afloat. As their attempts spiral out of control and into treacherous waters, Harlan steps back in to take command."

And that's just the business side of things. "Facing her own demons, Buckley daughter Bree — an addict in recovery who's lost custody of her son — finds herself entangled in a complicated relationship that could threaten the family's future forever," the logline continues.

Holt McCallany (Mindhunter) stars as Harlan Buckley, along with Maria Bello (NCIS) as wife Belle, Jake Weary (Animal Kingdom) as son Cane and Melissa Benoist (Supergirl) as daughter Bree. The Waterfront also stars Rafael L. Silva (9-1-1: Lone Star), Humberly González (Ginny & Georgia), Danielle Campbell (The Originals) and Brady Hepner (FBI: International).

In addition to Grace, other notable guest stars appearing throughout The Waterfront's eight-episode first season include Dave Annable (Lioness), Michael Gaston (The Leftovers), Gerardo Celasco (Devil in Ohio) and Zach Roerig (The Vampire Diaries).

Williamson writes and serves as showrunner of The Waterfront, executive-producing alongside Ben Fast, Michael Narducci and Marcos Siega. Hit PLAY on the trailer above and browse first-look photos below, then drop a comment with your thoughts. Will you be watching?
