How to watch The Runarounds: stream the new series from the Outer Banks creators

New musical coming-of-age drama The Runarounds releases on Monday, September 1 and it could be the next big young adult hit.

The Runarounds is about some high school graduates in North Carolina who form a rock band together. We follow them over a summer as they try to make it, all while building and testing their friendships.

The band at the center of The Runarounds is actually a real group of artists, playing original songs. The series was created by the trio behind Netflix's popular Outer Banks so it's got big boots to fill.

So here's how to watch The Runarounds when it comes out.
