Barons is an 8 episode TV Series that will air on the CW on May 29, 2023 at 9pm. Barons aired in Australia on ABC in April 2022. Barons is set in Australia in 1971, a time of sexual liberation, social disruption, protest and war. Barons captures a unique moment of upheaval and opportunity as a new surfing counterculture collides with the realities of enterprise. Two best friends, inspired by their love for the Australian beach, create what will become rival iconic surf brands, loosely based on the formation of the Billabong and Quiksilver corporations. Little do they know that their success will tear them - and their worlds - apart. When their businesses go mainstream, the young rebels and their friends find themselves pulled deep into a world of corporate politics, jealousy, homophobia and racial tension. In selling their dreams to the world, they create bitter, lasting rivalries.
