AMC and Canal+ Greenlight Point Break TV Series

The eight-episode revival signals a move to expand the 1991 film’s Ex‑Presidents heist world into an international television production starting in early 2027.

Overview

  • AMC Global Media and France’s Canal+ officially greenlit the Point Break series on Sept. 11, 2026, naming Alcon Television Group as lead studio and StudioCanal as the partner for international sales and distribution.
  • Dave Kalstein and Christopher C. Rogers will serve as co-showrunners and executive producers, joined by Alcon co-founders Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson and a team of additional executive producers.
  • The series is set in the present day more than 30 years after the film and follows a new heist crew inspired by the Ex‑Presidents with an FBI plan to infiltrate them via a mysterious ex‑pro surfer, per the announced logline.
  • AMC and AMC+ will air the show in the United States and Canal+ will air it in France and on its pay service across multiple regions while StudioCanal handles distribution outside North America.
  • An eight-episode first season is slated to begin production in early 2027, casting and a release date have not been announced, and the project reflects a wider trend of using international co-productions to revive legacy film franchises for TV.
