Netflix's hit teen drama Outer Banks has officially wrapped filming on its fifth and final season, with creators Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke teasing a "wild" conclusion. The show, one of the streaming platform's most popular young adult series, follows two rival groups of teenagers—the affluent Kooks and the working-class Pogues—in the beach town of Kildare County, North Carolina.
Plot and Cast Updates
The story centers on Pogue leader John B Routledge (Chase Stokes), who embarks on a dangerous journey after his father goes missing. Along the way, he uncovers clues to a legendary treasure while falling in love with Sarah Cameron (Madelyn Cline), a rebellious Kook. Filming takes place in Charleston, South Carolina, and Netflix Tudum confirmed production has wrapped on the final season.
Returning cast members include Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Drew Starkey, Carlacia Grant, Austin North, and Fiona Palomo. Additionally, Tony Crane and Cullen Moss have been promoted to series regulars for season five, reprising their roles as Chandler Groff and Victor Shoupe, respectively.
What to Expect in Season Five
Season four saw the Pogues hunting for the legendary Blue Crown, which creators confirmed will carry through to the final episode. Fans have been waiting since October 2024 for new episodes, and while no release date has been announced, the final season is expected to drop before the end of the year.
The creators expressed their excitement in a statement: "We are over the moon to be setting out on one last trip with the Pogues. Being back on set with our cast for this final round is nothing short of bittersweet and surreal. We can't wait to show everyone what we have in store this season—it's going to be a wild ride…"
