Some gnarly news for those who love to hang 10: The surfing docuseries “Make or Break” has been canceled at Apple TV+, TVLine has learned exclusively.
The reality series ran for two seasons on the streamer and followed the world’s best surfers as they battled for the World Title on the World Surf League Championship Tour. Season 1 consisted of seven episodes; Season 2 consisted of eight.
Newly minted World Surf League commissioner Jessi Miley-Dyer discussed the future of WSL-related TV projects at “Winning: Women & Sports,” a recent event hosted by TVLine’s sister sites Sportico and SheMedia.
“Make or Break‘s on hold. Obviously, it’s been a great show for us,” Miley-Dyer told TVLine. “It’s been really valuable. But the most important thing we’ve had are the relationships through Make or Break, and we still have that exclusive relationship with Box to Box [Films], the production company.”
She added that WSL has other content in development, and that ESPN+ is streaming the men’s and women’s divisions of all 10 Championship Tour competitions and the U.S. Open of Surfing this year. In addition, the Make or Break-like WSL: Inside Pro Surfing is available on ESPN2.

There will be no third season for Apple’s surfing docuseries “Make or Break.” The streamer has canceled the series after two seasons, sources confirm to Deadline.
The series followed World Surf League elite champions Kelly Slater, Stephanie Gilmore, Gabriel Medina, Tyler Wright, Italo Ferreira, and Tatiana Weston-Webb as they battled for the World Champion title.
The first season followed the 2021 competition, navigating as the league responds to the global pandemic, while exploring the surfing culture along with issues including diversity, mental health, and the physical impact of the sport.
“Make or Break” was produced by Box to Box Films with Amy producer James Gay-Rees, Formula 1: Drive to Survive producer Paul Martin, and WSL CEO Erik Logan and WSL Studios chief Ryan Holcomb exec producing.
Deadline’s sister site TVLine was first to report the cancellation.
