The Runarounds is produced by Skydance Television and created and executive produced by Jonas Pate, with a teleplay from David Wilcox. The series is executive produced by Josh Pate, Shannon Burke, Joon Yun, Lisa Mae Fincannon, Scott Lambert, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Matt Thunell and Wilcox.[3]
The eight-part series is inspired by the real band of the same name and will include the real group’s members, William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock and Jesse Golliher, amongst the cast. The Runarounds formed as a band in 2021, when Jonas Pate was casting for a group to appear on his Wilmington, North Carolina-set television series Outer Banks, with the group first performing together for Pate ahead of their appearance in season three of Outer Banks. They were selected from more than 5,000 musicians who responded to the casting call for Outer Banks.[4]
In August 2024, Brooklyn Decker, Maximo Salas, Marley Aliah, Hayes MacArthur, Mark Wystrach and Shea Pritchard joined the cast.[5] The cast also includes Lilah Pate and Kelley Pereira. Filming began in August 2024.[6] Filming locations include Wilmington, North Carolina.[7]
