AMC and AMC+ have ordered a television series based on “Point Break,” with France’s Canal+ also involved. The project is a modern-day follow-up to the 1991 action film and was first reported by outlets in December 2025 as being in development. Variety reports the order is now official, and Deadline similarly says the series is greenlit by the two broadcasters.
The new series comes from Alcon Television Group. Both reports describe the setup as contemporary, continuing the concept from the original surf heist thriller starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. While the initial development reporting highlighted the present-day framing and the Alcon studio involvement, the coverage is primarily focused on the status change from development to a formal series order and on which networks are backing it. Details on cast, production timeline, and episode count are not included in the excerpts provided.
Across sources, the main points of agreement are the series’ “Point Break” connection, its present-day update, and the involvement of AMC/AMC+ and Canal+. The differences are mainly in the emphasis on the broadcasters’ roles and the timeline of how the news is being reiterated from December reporting to the current greenlight.
