Exciting New Venture For General Hospital Alum William Lipton

William Lipton’s stint on General Hospital provided him many an opportunity to show off his impressive musicality, and now he’s poised to deliver the goods in a new show for Amazon.

William Lipton’s Next Adventure

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the retail and streaming giant has greenlit The Runarounds, an eight-episode series set to follow “a post-high school band as they try to make it big.” Though not touted as a direct spinoff of Netflix‘s breakout hit Outer Banks, the titular band first appeared during a season three episode.

The Runarounds, a fictionalized account of the real band of the same name, hails from Outer Banks co-creator Jonas Pate with a cast consisting of group members Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock, and Jesse Golliher, as well as Kelly Pereira and Lilah Pate, Jonas’s daughter. A premiere date is still very much TBD.

The ensemble was formed in 2021 when Pate issued a casting call for a group to appear on Outer Banks and was selected from than 5,000 hopefuls. They recorded a live album during a USC concert and were scene on General Hospital on September 6, 2022, during scenes in which Lipton’s alter-ego performed an original number Darling, Darling (penned by the showman himself).

Lipton took to Instagram with a snapshot of the series’ announcement and commented, “Where are we going, fellas? To the top, Johnny!” His former GH co-star, Sydney Mikayla (ex-Trina Robinson), was the first to issue a post of congratulations.
