The South Carolina sun will be setting on the Netflix hit series soon, and we don’t think we’re ready to say goodbye to the Twinkie just yet.
Following the recent release of Outer Banks Season 4, Netflix has confirmed that the adventure series will be getting a fifth season—however, it will be the final time fans will get to see their beloved Pogues embark on new and chaotic escapades. Officially announcing the season’s renewal, creators Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke told Tudum that the OBX Season 4 finale will “set the stage for an epic fifth and final season.”

Will There Be an Outer Banks Season 5?
Sure will be! A fifth season of the Netflix series was confirmed by the streaming platform on November 4 2024, only three days before Season 4 Part 2 aired. The renewal is exciting, but not shocking news to many fans as the co-creators had previously hinted at their ideas to extend the show beyond Season 4.
Co-creator Josh Pate told Tudum back in 2023: “We think about the first three [seasons] as a trilogy and then we’re starting over on [another sort of] trilogy now. We just needed to clear the decks. We’re going to have new villains, a new treasure hunt, a new life situation.”

When Will Outer Banks Season 5 Be Released?
Unfortunately, production has not yet commenced on Outer Banks Season 5.
So, we’ll just have to sit tight until filming is underway and then we will have a better understanding new season timeline. On a better note, according to Tudum, the writing team is “currently in the midst of working on the Season 5 scripts,” teasing that “the endgame is in sight.”
We’re hoping to receive Season 5 by the end of 2025, however, previous seasons have been known to encounter numerous external delays—like the COVID pandemic and industry strikes—so we are hoping they will have better luck this round!
What Will Be the Plot of Season 5?
Outer Banks Season 5 will, naturally, be centred around *another* huge treasure hunt.
In a press release provided to Tudum, Burked teased that the hunt for Blue Crown that capped off Season 4 will continue next season.
The creators added that they had always had an idea of how the show would end so take from that what you will!
Outer Banks Season 5 Cast
While nothing has been confirmed, it is expected that the core OBX cast will return for the fifth and final season of the show.
In the mean time, we’ll be able to keep up with the cast, who are booked and busy with other projects, elsewhere. Drew Starkey (Rafe) is already making waves, playing Daniel Craig’s love interest in Luca Guadagnino’s soon-t-be-released film, Queer. Meanwhile, Madelyn Cline (Sarah) will feature in the upcomingI Know What You Did Last Summer sequel, which is currently filming in Australia. Madison Bailey is currently starring in another Netflix project, the 2003-set Time Cut; and Chase Stokes has a thriller coming out next year.
