More than three decades after the events of the original Point Break film, a new heist crew inspired by the Ex-Presidents has emerged and the FBI must rely on a mysterious ex-pro surfer with a checkered past to infiltrate them.
Dave Kalstein and Christopher C. Roger will serve as co-showrunners on the first season. They will executive produce with Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson, Ben Roberts and Julia Cohen. Steven Johnson, Diego Piasek and Gene Hong will serve as co-executive producers. AMC Studios, Alcon Television Group and StudioCanal will produce.
"Start with one of the most entertaining and unforgettable action films ever made, add a powerhouse creative team and producing partners, massive fan interest that has been clear from the moment we announced the series was in development and you get a greenlight we could not be more excited about," said Dan McDermott, Chief Content Officer of AMC Global Media and President of AMC Studios. "Dave Kalstein and Chris Rogers have created a story and characters that honor the legacy of the film and will bring a new generation of Ex-Presidents to the world."
"Point Break was the movie that rocked our worlds forever," added Kalstein and Rogers. "It was this wild cinematic sermon on friendship, outlaws, and spirituality that struck our souls. As we got older, we realized it hit millions of people the same way. Point Break is more than just a movie - it's a way of looking at the world. We are so honored to be carrying this legacy forward with Alcon, AMC, and StudioCanal. We're putting together a series that will inspire audiences everywhere to seek The Ultimate."
