00:18family as they struggle to maintain control of their fishing empire in a coastal town in North

00:23Carolina. Who would choose to be a part of this family? We have money and standing.

00:30That sentence should be in the past tense. The stars of the show spoke to The Hollywood

00:33Reporter all about the new series filled with both crime and family drama and shared what drew

00:38them to the script. I just felt like every character was a living, breathing, palpable person and that

00:46really attracted me to it. The writing was so good and Kevin is so sweet and I spoke with him before

00:52signing on to the project and he really kind of hook, line and sinker got me. When I first read

00:59the script I knew I wanted to play Harlan Buckley. The problem was I didn't have the offer and I kept

01:08hearing names like Russell Crowe and Josh Brolin and you know and so finally I called my agent and I

01:14said well where am I on the list and they said you're not in the top 10 and I was like not in the top 10

01:22and I had I had an offer to do another series for Amazon but I didn't like the script. I had to say

01:29to my agents look I know it's a very good deal I'm sure the Amazon show will be very successful

01:36but my heart isn't in it. I really want to play this character in the waterfront and so I'm passing and

01:47and I passed on the Amazon show and a month later I got the offer for the waterfront.

01:53Family dramas like Succession and Yellowstone have seen major success in recent years.

01:58The actors revealed why they think audiences are so drawn to a series like the waterfront.

02:02Every family in America has some level of dysfunction and so people can relate.

02:10What happened on that boat? Where's Curtis and Troy? I don't know. They haven't found them yet.

02:17They maybe they're hiding or something. Where? The bottom of the ocean? No I don't know.

02:22The man behind the show Kevin Williamson also created Dawson's Creek and The Vampire Diaries

02:27as well as wrote the original Scream film Scream 2 and Scream 4. It's also worth noting he's directing

02:33the forthcoming film Scream 7. Which member of the Buckley family do you think would die first

02:38in a Scream movie? I think Kane. You think so? Yeah because I think I think he could be potentially

02:45um you know the one you think maybe is gonna make it and then it's like a surprise kill. Yeah it's like

02:53it's like yeah like hopefully it's in like yeah you're like but there's so much more to offer

02:59and then you know it's done. But I don't know maybe uh but also maybe maybe you Holt.

03:09You know look I think the same could be said for you. You're like maybe you like the killer's you know

03:15ghost face is coming at the whole family and you're like jump in front and it's like

03:19Yeah Arlen like you're probably trying to fight back and be the first to go. Yeah and it's like sad. As long as it's a heroic death

03:25Yeah

03:26I will sacrifice myself to cut you like a fish. I don't want to speak though too boldly but I feel like Brie would be the last one still.

03:33One hundred percent. Would she be the killer? That's also possible. Definitely.

03:38Yeah. That's also highly possible.

03:42That's pretty buckly.
