HBO has announced it will renew the critically acclaimed big wave surfing docuseries 100 Foot Wave for a third season. The series has been a critical and commercial success for HBO, earning a host of Emmy nominations and one win so far.
The series chronicles the adventures of big wave surfer Garrett McNamara as he, along with his wife, Nicole, and a close-knit group of friends and surfers, take on record-breaking waves at Nazaré, Portugal. The first season won an Emmy for its cinematography, and season two is currently up for six Emmys, the most earned by any documentary series this year.
“We couldn’t be more excited to continue the journey with our incredible surfers and crew,” said director and executive producer Chris Smith in a statement. “HBO have been amazing partners. Endlessly grateful for their enthusiasm, support, and creative collaboration.”
Executive producer Joe Lewis added, “We’re thrilled the search for the legendary 100-foot wave will continue and excited to expand on the incredible universe of surfers and stories in pursuit. So much gratitude goes to the McNamara family, the big wave community, the brilliant production team, the town of Nazaré, and our amazing partners at HBO for bringing the series to life.”
The first two seasons of 100 Foot Wave are available to stream on Max.
