The Runarounds Ordered to Series at Prime Video
The Runarounds, a new YA series inspired by a real-life band, is coming to Prime Video.
From Outer Banks creator Jonas Pate, the fictional series inspired by the real band of the same name stars William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock, and Jesse Golliher as the band members.
Lilah Pate and Kelley Pereira also star.
The Runarounds‘s teleplay is penned by David Wilcox (Fringe).
The eight-episode series “follows a tight-knit group of young adults from all walks of life who come together to form a rock band the summer after graduating from high school,” per its synopsis.
The Runarounds is set against the backdrop of Wilmington, North Carolina, where the band “will have to choose between succumbing to the pressures of real life, or risking it all to become the greatest band of all time.”
The YA show’s pilot episode was shot and directed by Jonas Pate in 2022.
“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,” Vernon Sanders, head of television, Amazon MGM Studios, said.
“We are very much looking forward to sharing the exhilarating journey of The Runarounds with our global Prime Video customers,” Sanders added.
Pate will executive produce The Runarounds with David Wilcox, Joon Yun, Josh Pate, Shannon Burke, Lisa Mae Fincannon, and Scott Lambert, with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell for Skydance Television.
“I am thrilled to reunite with Jonas, David, Josh, and Shannon on a show that is so personal to them, and so brimming with heart and soul,” Matt Thunell, president, Skydance Television, said.
“We are grateful to Amazon for their partnership, and we can’t wait for the world to meet The Runarounds,” Thunell added.
The upcoming series marks Skydance Television’s fifth project with Amazon MGM Studios and Prime Video, following Reacher and Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, the upcoming TV show Cross, and the action-adventure series starring Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham.
