LOS ANGELES — AMC and French broadcaster Canal+ have officially greenlit an eight-part television series based on the 1991 action film Point Break, with production slated to begin in early 2027.
Developed by Alcon Television Group alongside AMC Studios and STUDIOCANAL, the project is structured as a contemporary continuation rather than a direct remake, taking place over three decades after the events of the original Kathryn Bigelow-directed feature.
Plot Premise and Production Team
The narrative centers on a new generation of criminals operating a sophisticated heist ring tied to the legacy of the infamous “Ex-Presidents” gang. To dismantle the syndicate, the FBI is forced to enlist a mysterious former professional surfer with a troubled past to infiltrate the group.
- Showrunners: Dave Kalstein (Treadstone, NCIS: Los Angeles) and Christopher C. Rogers (Halt and Catch Fire, Sugar) serve as co-showrunners and executive producers.
- Executive Production: Alcon co-founders and co-CEOs Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson executive produce alongside Alcon Television Group head of television Ben Roberts and Julia Cohen. STUDIOCANAL’s M-K Kennedy, Paul Gilbert, and Daniel Gratton oversee the project for the European network.
Broadcast and Distribution Strategy
Under the multi-network partnership, AMC and streaming service AMC+ will handle domestic distribution in the United States and Canada. Meanwhile, Canal+ will air the series across its international pay-TV footprint spanning more than 50 countries in Europe, Africa, and Asia, with STUDIOCANAL managing global sales.
Network executives have not yet announced a targeted premiere window or casting details for the upcoming series.
