‘Outer Banks’ Ending With Season 5 at Netflix

In the wake of Elite ending and ahead of Stranger Things winding down, Netflix has made the decision to end another one of its young-adult programs. Outer Banks will conclude with its upcoming fifth season. The streamer made the announcement amidst the promotion of Season 4, Part 2’s upcoming release on Thursday.

Alongside the announcement, Netflix noted that writing for Season 5 is underway; the streamer also attached a formal statement from co-creators and executive producers Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke. (You can read that note at the end of this article).

No production state date, release date or returning cast list are available as of press time. The Outer Banks cast includes Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Rudy Pankow, Carlacia Grant, Drew Starkey, Austin North, Fiona Palomo, J. Anthony Crane, Pollyanna McIntosh, Brianna Brown, Rigo Sanchez, Mia Challis and Cullen Moss.

As for Season 4, PopCulture.com’s own Anna Rumer talked with the cast ahead of Part 1’s release. Cline was excited for fans to see her character, Sarah, come together with Stokes’ John B. in a new way throughout Season 4.

“They’ve gone through so much the past three seasons together and separately,” Cline said, “and I think we’re picking up with them really enjoying just being able to be together and relax into their relationship [while] moving on and healing from their shared trauma  … moving forward together as a team.”

All previously released episodes of Outer Banks are currently streaming on Netflix. You can read the message Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke below:

Dispatch to all Pogues:

Seven years ago, in the summer of 2017, we came across a photo of teenagers on a beach at dusk during a power outage. That photo sparked an idea for a story of four best friends who only want to have a good time all the time. From this beginning, we imagined a mystery that would lead to a five-season journey of adventure, treasure hunting, and friendship.

At the time, seven years ago, it seemed impossible that we would really get to tell the whole five season story, but here we are, at the end of our fourth season, still chopping away.

The fourth season was our longest and hardest – but most rewarding – to produce. The season ends with a feature length episode, which we think is our best, most powerful episode. We hope you feel the same way.

Now, with a little sadness, but also excitement, we’re putting Season Four behind us, and are turning to Season Five, in which we hope to bring our beloved Pogues home in the way we imagined and planned years ago. Season Five will be our last season, and we think it will be our best yet. We hope you’ll join us for one more paddle out to the surf break.

P4L,

Josh, Jonas, and Shannon
