STUDIOCANAL TO HANDLE INTERNATIONAL SALES AND WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION OUTSIDE OF THE U.S. AND CANADA ON SERIES SET DECADES AFTER THE ICONIC ACTION FILM

NEW YORK, LONDON, PARIS - September 11, 2026 - AMC Global Media today announced the greenlight of a new original series for AMC and AMC+, Point Break, with Alcon Television Group serving as lead studio and AMC Studios and STUDIOCANAL (a CANAL+ company) as co-producers. Commissioned by CANAL+ for its global footprint spanning more than 50 countries across France, Europe, Africa and Asia, the series is set in the present day, after the events of the iconic film, and centered on a new heist crew with ties to the notorious Ex-Presidents gang. STUDIOCANAL will handle international sales and worldwide distribution outside of the U.S. and Canada. The first season of eight episodes will go into production early next year.

Dave Kalstein (Treadstone, Quantico, NCIS: Los Angeles) and Christopher C. Rogers (Halt and Catch Fire, Sugar) serve as co-showrunners and Executive Producers. Alcon co-founders and co-CEOs Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson will also Executive Produce, alongside Alcon Television Group head of television Ben Roberts and Julia Cohen. M-K Kennedy, Paul Gilbert and Daniel Gratton are overseeing the project for STUDIOCANAL. Steven Johnson, Diego Piasek, and Gene Hong will serve as Co-Executive Producers, with Emily Yoshida and Ben Cook as Supervising Producers.

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.

"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."

States Kalstein and Rogers: "Point Break was the movie that rocked our worlds forever. 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."

States Johnson and Kosove: "We're excited to see Point Break move into production with AMC. Dave and Chris have a strong vision for the series and a clear understanding of what makes this world so compelling. "We're looking forward to working closely with AMC and the creative team to bring this series to audiences."

M-K Kennedy, Managing Director, STUDIOCANAL Worldwide Television expands: "The opportunity to ride this legendary wave with AMC Studios and Alcon Television Group, bringing this globally beloved IP to CANAL+ subscribers and audiences around the world was beyond compelling. We can't wait to get started!"

Point Break joins other new series and seasons planned for AMC and AMC+ in 2027 and beyond including Thunder Road, a multi-generational racing drama produced in partnership with NASCAR and starring Dennis Quaid, the final season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, new seasons of Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches and the acclaimed Silicon Valley drama The Audacity, a new season in the company's Rise Of sports docuseries franchise, Rise of the Saints and the recently greenlit spy drama Bannerman, produced in partnership with Netflix.
