In his interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he said that it would follow the band in a \u201csuper crappy van on the regional tour playing colleges and 200 capacity rooms.\u201d The end goal would be landing a slot at a major festival, and it would end with them opening at Bonnaroo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">When TV Insider spoke with the cast, Lipton also gave some insight into what he thinks is in store for Charlie specifically. \u201cI think come Season 2, [Charlie\u2019s] going to have to deal with this major shift and his discovery of his true father,\u201d Lipton teased.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Pate went ahead and gave the plot details all the way through its fifth season. Season 3 would follow the Runarounds on tour in Europe, opening for a more established group. In Season 4, they would be \u201ca headliner with 5,000 capacity rooms and all the pressures and issues with fame.\u201d At that point, the show would be dealing with \u201chow fame exploits and magnifies whatever your weakness is because there\u2019s no guard rails anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">They\u2019d be embarking on their stadium tour in the final season. \u201cThe dream is can I legitimately take this all the way and feel like you actually were in the van with them,\u201d Pate said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><em>The Runarounds<\/em><em>, <\/em>Season 1, Streaming Now, Prime Video<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Read the latest entertainment news on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TV Insider;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TV Insider<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Runarounds crew spent all of Season 1 working tirelessly toward a record deal, and now that they have it, where do they go from here? \u201cI felt like it might be more interesting if I didn\u2019t have them go to the top instantly,\u201d creator Jonas Pate told The Hollywood Reporter. \u201cYou\u2019re gonna be one [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2019852,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25172],"tags":[371015,359972,333416,66105,31190,339314,340482],"class_list":["post-2019851","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-jeremy-yun","tag-jesse-golliher","tag-jonas-pate","tag-prime-video","tag-the-hollywood-reporter","tag-the-runarounds","tag-william-lipton"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Will-\u2018The-Runarounds-Return-for-Season-2.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2019851","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2019851"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2019851\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2019852"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2019851"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2019851"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2019851"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
