The ocean is calling for Antony Starr. Ahead of the fifth and final season of The Boys, the dark superhero show's Homelander is trading his suit in for a surfboard for the new series, Breakers, at Netflix. It'll be Starr's first leading role on television since he first broke out as the vicious supe on the Eric Kripke-helmed Prime Video series in 2019. So far, he's the only cast member attached, but expect the beach to keep filling out very soon as the project has begun production in Western Australia. It's expected to continue filming through June.

Created by Somewhere Boy and The Death of Bunny Munro writer Pete Jackson, Breakers follows two best friends who go backpacking through Australia together, only to stumble upon an idyllic, tight-knit surfing community. They're quickly drawn into the group, led by a charismatic stranger named Brando, played by Starr, and get caught up in the sun-soaked fun. From the sound of it, though, there's much more to this community and its mysterious leader than just riding the waves. For Netflix, it'll be a bit of a groundbreaking series, as it's the first for the streamer to be shot in Western Australia, ensuring that the scenery will be authentic to Down Under and its gorgeous beaches.
