Homelander Hits the Waves: Antony Starr’s Netflix Thriller ‘Breakers’ Has Wrapped Filming and It Sounds Absolutely Terrifying

If you’ve been wondering what Antony Starr is doing post-The Boys, wonder no more. Netflix’s upcoming psychological thriller Breakers has officially wrapped filming, and everything we know about it points to one of the most compelling new shows of 2026.

Breakers — Everything You Know

What Is Breakers About?

Think sun, surf, and sinister secrets. Two American friends backpacking through Australia stumble upon what seems like paradise in a remote surf commune — welcomed in, they revel in the waves, freedom, and camaraderie — until they sense something darker beneath the surface. As a member mysteriously vanishes and the group’s rituals grow increasingly unsettling, the friends realize they’ve been drawn into a dangerous cult.

It’s essentially a cult thriller wrapped inside a surfing drama, and that premise alone is enough to keep anyone on the edge of their seat. The concept of a cult — a tight, isolated group with a charismatic leader and dark rituals — makes for endlessly gripping storytelling, and Breakers looks primed to deliver exactly that.

Antony Starr Leads a Stellar Cast

Starr plays Brando, the charismatic yet mysterious leader of the surf commune — and this marks the first time he has worked on a Netflix Original series. Notably, Starr has been an avid surfer since childhood, making this role the culmination of a lifetime hobby. He’s already teased it’s going to be a banger — and given his track record, we believe him.

The supporting cast is stacked with rising Australian talent. Three cast members — Asher Yasbincek, Sherry-Lee Watson, and Brodie Townsend — are all veterans of Heartbreak High, while D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai (Reservation Dogs) and Tyroe Muhafidin (The Rings of Power) also feature prominently.

A Historic Production for Western Australia

This isn’t just a big show — it’s a landmark one. Breakers makes history as the largest production ever to take place in Western Australia, injecting $19 million into the local economy and employing over 100 local cast and crew. Filming took place across Margaret River, Busselton, Greenbushes, Lancelin Sand Dunes, and central Perth, with production coinciding with the launch of the new state-of-the-art Perth Film Studios.

Behind the camera, the creative team is equally impressive — executive producers include Petra Fried and Wim De Greef, both known for Baby Reindeer and The End of the F**ing World*, with co-directors Mary Nighy (Industry) and Ng Choon Ping (Femme) steering the visual story. whats-on-netflix
