It’s official, Pogues—Outer Banks is returning for Season 5, which will also be the series’ final season.
According to show creators Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke, the Season 4 finale, the first feature-length episode of the series, “sets the stage for an epic fifth and final season,” as they shared with Tudum.
In a heartfelt letter to fans, the Outer Banks creators reflected on the past seven years of working on the series and revealed how it all began—with a photo of teenagers on a beach at dusk during a power outage.
“That photo sparked an idea for a story about four best friends who only want to have a good time, all the time,” they wrote in the letter.
“From this beginning, we imagined a mystery that would lead to a five-season journey filled with adventure, treasure hunting, and friendship.” And from this spark, the journey of P4L was born.
Currently, the team is deep in the process of writing the Season 5 scripts, with the end now in sight.
The treasure hunt for the Blue Crown, which is central to Season 4, will be a storyline that “should carry us all the way to the end,” says Burke.
The first part of Outer Banks Season 4 debuted on October 10 and quickly hit No. 1 on the Global Top 10 for English-language TV shows.
It has remained in the top 10 for three weeks, reaching audiences in 74 countries ahead of Part 2’s release on November 7.
Across all four seasons, Outer Banks has spent a total of 27 weeks in the Global Top 10 for English-language TV.
As the creators previously shared with Tudum, they’ve envisioned the final scene of Outer Banks from the very beginning. “We’ve always known from the start what the last scene would be,” said Josh Pate.
