Pogues, it's time. Outer Banks season 4 is so close on the horizon, we can taste it.
When Outer Banks first debuted in April 2020, the show became an instant runaway hit. It makes sense — the series has everything: action, mystery, romance, adventure, and so much drama. At its core, Outer Banks depicts the rivalry between two groups of people, specifically the the teens,
who live in Outer Banks, North Carolina: the upper-class “Kooks” and the working-class “Pogues.” But there's much more than just class tension brewing in OBX — there's also many a treasure hunt, star-crossed romances, and mystery after mystery after mystery.
Season 3, which premiered on Netflix on February 23, had a season finale that was nearly the length of a feature film. There were reunions, new love connections, betrayals of all kinds, and lots of high-stakes action. (To name a few: arson, a train heist, a plane crash, jungle shootouts, a cave explosion after finding the Lost City of El Dorado. You know, the usual.) A shocking time jump and a hint at the gang's next treasure hunt has set the stage for an even bigger fourth season.
Below, find out everything you need to know about Outer Banks season 4, including cast info, plot details, the release date on Netflix, and trailer and first-look photos.
When was Outer Banks Season 4 announced?
Just days before the premiere of season 3, Netflix announced that Outer Banks received an early renewal for season 4. Netflix shared the news at the special interactive Poguelandia event in Huntington Beach, California on February 18, along with some help from the cast.
“Seeing Poguelandia come to life was nothing short of spectacular,” said the showrunners, per Variety. "The Pogues are enjoying an adventure of a lifetime and we now get to map out more twists and turns as the joyride continues into Season 4 of Outer Banks. Thank you to Netflix, our cast and the amazing fans who helped to make this happen.”
Who is in the cast of Outer Banks Season 4?
“The cast have been fast friends in real life pretty much from the very beginning, and it’s been so gratifying to see those connections deepen over the years we’ve worked on the show,” said OBX creators Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke to TUDUM ahead of season 3. "They are truly Pogues for Life.”
The series also stars Cullen Moss (as Sheriff Shoupe), Julia Antonelli (Wheezie Cameron), Caroline Arapoglou (Rose Cameron), and E. Roger Mitchell (Heyward, Pope's dad). Two of the biggest bombshells from season 3 include the deaths of Sarah's father Ward Cameron (played by Charles Esten) and John B's father Big John (Charles Halford). While Ward and Big John may not appear in new scenes, there's definitely still a chance they'll appear in season 4 through the form of flashbacks.
What will Outer Banks Season 4 be about?
“Blackbeard is part of Outer Banks lore, and so there’s just a lot of stuff we can work with out of that. It is going to be a part of it, but it’s not going to be a traditional Blackbeard-type tale, although we’re using elements of the mythology going forward,” Josh Pate told The Hollywood Reporter after the season 3 finale.
“And as far as the time jump, we felt like we needed to get them out of school. The actors are a little older, and it was harder to keep them in high school. We just wanted to move them into a new phase in their lives and move them forward a little bit. The epilogue at the end of [episode] 10 was to set up those two things that we knew we wanted to do going forward.”
Though no incredibly specific details about the plot of OBX season 4 have been shared with the public, the showrunners have spoken at length about their overall plan for the series. The Pate Brothers and Shannon Burke previously stated that they wanted to wrap up the show by season 5 — but after the season 4 renewal announcement, they seem to be thinking bigger.
“I don't know if I could put a real number on it right now — how long it takes to get to that ending might expand, but we now know the shape of the end of the story,” Josh Pate told Entertainment Weekly. “We're going to take it as long as we can, for sure.”
“In season 17, we'll be on Mars,” joked Jonas Pate. Shannon Burke added that overall, they want to keep the show “grounded to some extent… because sometimes when it gets too big it's not as fun anymore." I don't know — seems as though the sky's the limit for season 4 and beyond, especially considering the fact that the creators know how they eventually want to end the series. "We’ve always known from the beginning what the last scene would be, if we would be lucky enough to get it that far,” Josh Pate recently said to TUDUM.
