In the teaser for the upcoming fifth and final season of Netflix’s Outer Banks, the Pogues promise to avenge JJ. The one-minute teaser reveals an action-packed final season, with the friends warning, “If you’re on the bottom, you have to risk everything.”
The 10-episode fifth season will premiere on August 20, 2026, starring Chase Stokes as John B., Madelyn Cline as Sarah Cameron, Madison Bailey as Kiara, Jonathan Daviss as Pope, and Carlacia Grant as Cleo. Drew Starkey plays Rafe, Austin North is Topper, Fiona Palomo is Sofia, J. Anthony Crane is Chandler Groff, and Cullen Moss plays Shoupe.
Netflix’s synopsis reads, “Season five finds the Pogues at their absolute breaking point following the tragic loss of JJ in Morocco. Stranded far from home and mourning the heart of their crew, they’ve lost the Blue Crown and continue to face a gauntlet of familiar threats. With Chandler Groff still at large, Dalia and the Corsairs closing in, and the Kooks ensuring the Pogues have no home to return to, John B, Sarah, Kiara, Pope, and Cleo must rely on their scrappy instincts—and an uneasy alliance with Rafe—to keep from falling apart for good.
Their mission is now a desperate race to reclaim their future and finally win the freedom they’ve been chasing since the beginning. It’s the Pogues against the world as they seek to avenge their best friend and bring it on home…one final time.”
Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke created the series and serve as writers and executive producers.
