About The Runarounds season 1

The Runarounds season 1 explores the vibrant world of aspiring musicians as they chase their dreams in Wilmington, North Carolina. Created by Outer Banks co-creator Jonas Pate, the series follows five recent high school graduates who create a rock band the summer after graduation. Thus, a major storyline focuses on the five teenagers as they go about their journey.

The trailer showcases the quintet experiencing love, rivalry, and self-discovery, all the while chasing their dreams of making it big in the cut-throat music industry.

Not only that, the Amazon Prime Video show also features original music, including lead singles from the band itself. What makes the series particularly unique is its origin story, as the band was handpicked by Pate for his previous show, Outer Banks, out of 5,000 auditions.

Pate then discovered The Runarounds and created a show around them, something that excited Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, as he revealed in an interview with The Wrap in February 2024.

"When we first met with Jonas and Skydance about 'The Runarounds,' it was immediately clear that they brought us a special show featuring an incredibly talented cast and real-life band. We are very much looking forward to sharing the exhilarating journey of The Runarounds with our global Prime Video customers,"aSanders said.
