The Runarounds Trailer Debuts with an Original Song
Today, Prime Video released the official trailer for The Runarounds, which features the original song “Funny How The Universe Works” performed by the band at the center of the story.
The music drama series from the creators of Outer Banks will premiere all eight episodes on Monday, September 1, 2025, exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
The Runarounds follows a group of recent high school graduates from Wilmington, North Carolina, who come together the summer after graduation to form a rock band, united by their shared love of music and near-impossible dream of stardom.
For one unforgettable summer, they throw themselves into the pursuit of their big break—falling in love, getting into trouble, and building the kind of bonds that feel like family along the way.
With original music, romantic entanglements, and the raw highs and lows of coming-of-age, The Runarounds captures the rush of risking everything at the edge of adulthood to chase your dreams.
Arista Records will be releasing the official soundtrack coinciding with the series’ release on September 1. Today, they dropped the band’s first two singles — “Funny How The Universe Works” and “Senior Year” — available now on all platforms here, and the soundtrack can be pre-ordered here.
“Funny How The Universe Works” features in the series trailer, and “Senior Year” is the first song written and recorded by the real-life band.
The series stars real-life musicians—William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock, and Jesse Golliher—along with Lilah Pate, Maximo Salas, Kelley Pereira, Marley Aliah, Mark Wystrach, Brooklyn Decker, Hayes MacArthur, and Shea Pritchard.
The executive producers include Jonas Pate, Joon Yun, David Wilcox, Josh Pate, Shannon Burke, Scott Lambert, and Lisa Mae Fincannon, with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Matt Thunell for Skydance Television (Foundation).
Amazon MGM Studios and Skydance Television produce The Runarounds.
