Jennifer is a TV and Movie News Editor at ScreenRant. She started her journey in entertainment media in 2022 when she first joined Valnet at CBR before coming to ScreenRant.
Jennifer loves TV, especially science fiction. She also loves late-night talk shows, due to her insomnia. Alien: Earth is definitely one of her favorite shows, and she jumps on any chance she gets to write about it. Even on her days off, she will claim an Alien Earth article if one is available.
Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are two of her favorite late-night hosts, and Conan O'Brien before he left his show.
Her Alien: Earth coverage for ScreenRant is by far the work that she is most proud of so far.
She was initially a finance and political editor, but her passion for pop culture convinced her to transition into entertainment journalism.
During her off time, she loves to binge-watch cooking shows such as Kitchen Nightmares. Jennifer also loves spending time with her daughter and cherishes every moment of it.
Keanu Reeves' cult classic film Point Break's sequel series officially gets a new release window.
Point Break follows FBI agent Johnny Utah as he goes undercover to track down those responsible for a series of strange heists in Southern California. His investigation leads him into the local surf scene, where he suspects a group of surfers may be behind the crimes. Bodhi is the leader of the group, driven by the rush of surfing and robbery. As Utah digs deeper into their world, he meets Tyler (Lori Petty), a surfer closely tied to the group. Their relationship begins to blur the lines between his assignment and his personal life, forcing him to question where his loyalties lie.
AMC Global Media is expanding its lineup with a mix of original series, franchise sequels, and literary adaptations. Among the most notable announcements is a TV sequel series of the same name as the 1991 action hit Point Break. The film originally starred Keanu Reeves as Johnny Utah and Patrick Swayze as Bodhi.
Dave Kalstein is attached to write and executive produce the project. Scripts for the first season are already in development, with production expected to begin in Australia later this year. AMC is aiming for a 2027 premiere, giving the series a clear runway as one of the company’s big upcoming titles.
The new series will pick up 25 years after the events of the film. Rather than revisiting the original characters directly, the story centers on a new heist team. The new crew has connections to the infamous Ex-Presidents gang, continuing the legacy of action-packed robberies that defined the original Point Break.
Point Break has a strong creative team. Shane Black, known for his work on Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and Iron Man 2, is set to direct and executive produce. Craig Silverstein will serve as creator and showrunner. He has worked on projects such as Turn: Washington’s Spies, Pantheon, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Other executive producers include Greg Nicotero, a longtime collaborator of AMC’s The Walking Dead franchise, alongside Brian Witten.
AMC's new lineup reveals a broader strategy to grow its reach across both traditional TV and streaming platforms, including AMC+, Shudder, and Acorn TV. By combining recognizable brands like Point Break with new adaptations, the company will likely attract both longtime fans and new audiences.
There is currently no official release date for Point Break at the time of this article's publication. However, AMC is aiming for a 2027 release.
