Just three months after its premiere, Netflix renewed the series for a second season, which is currently in production in South Carolina. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly just after the Season 1 premiere, creator and showrunner Jonas Pate had teased that there is plenty of story planned to take the series across multiple seasons.

“Ever since we started, we always viewed it as something that was probably like a four-season, maybe five-season show, but definitely four seasons,” he said. “We’ve sort of long-arced it out pretty far. I’m just hoping that we get a chance to actually tell those stories.” He added that “before [season 1] even came out, Netflix had greenlit us to write some [season 2] scripts, so we’ve been working on that for a few months now.”

The 10-episode first season of Outer Banks is available for streaming on Netflix. Season 2 does not yet have a premiere date. Stay tuned to PopCulture.com for the latest updates!
