AMC hangs ten with Point Break sequel series greenlight

Dan McDermott, president of AMC Studios, said in the release, “[Kalstein and 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.” Whether this honoring of legacy means including the last generation of Point Breakers, like Keanu Reeves’ FBI agent Johnny Utah or Lori Petty’s surfing instructor Tyler, remains to be seen. (Gary Busey can sit this one out, we think.) AMC is clearly stoked about its new series, posting on Instagram a new promotional graphic for the show along with the tagline, “The waves are bigger and the stakes are higher.” And if you’ll look to the horizon, you’ll see a logline coasting our way: 

“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.”
