Outer Banks Ending After Season 5

Pour one out for the Pogues.  

Netflix revealed Nov. 4 that while its hit show Outer Banks has been renewed, it would be ending after a fifth and final season. And as the writers and creators of the show Shannon Burke, Jonas Pate and Josh Pate explained, this is what they were planning for all along.

“From this beginning, we imagined a mystery that would lead to a five-season journey of adventure, treasure hunting, and friendship,” the trio shared in a message posted to the Outer Banks Instagram. “At the time, seven years ago, it seemed impossible that we would really get to tell the whole five season story, but here we are, at the end of our fourth season, still chopping away.”

The message noted that season four was the hardest one to produce so far and would end with a feature-length finale, which they feel is their “best, most powerful episode.”
