HBO’s confirmed 100 Foot Wave will continue to wow surfers and non-surfers alike, renewing the documentary series for a third season. “We couldn’t be more excited to continue the journey with our incredible surfers and crew,” said director Chris Smith. “HBO have been amazing partners. Endlessly grateful for their enthusiasm, support, and creative collaboration.”
Season two premiered on April 16, 2023 and earned six Emmy nominations in categories including Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series, Outstanding Cinematography for a Nonfiction Program, Outstanding Picture Editing for a Nonfiction Program, and Outstanding Writing for a Nonfiction Program. The renewal announcement didn’t indicate when season three is expected to arrive.
The docuseries follows big wave surfing legend Garrett McNamara, his wife, Nicole, and their friends and fellow surfers in Nazaré, Portugal as they push the boundaries of their sport and the limits of their minds and bodies.
“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,” stated executive producer Joe Lewis.
Additional executive producers include Library Films’ Zach Rothfeld and Topic Studios’ Ryan Heller, Michael Bloom, and Maria Zuckerman.
