Created by Jonas Pate, Prime Video’s ‘The Runarounds’ chronicles the story of a high school band that blossoms into something much more over the course of one summer. With Charlie as the frontman, Neil and Topher are on the electric, and Wyatt is on the bass as Bez lights things on fire with his drumset, the stage seems to be set for success. However, with bigger challenges comes the realization that carving one’s identity in the creative industry is not easy. Love, family, and professional troubles become more than just obstacles, but instead life lessons in this coming-of-age narrative. The season finale, titled ‘Kill Devil’, carefully weaves all...

Created by Jonas Pate, the Amazon Prime Video original series ‘The Runarounds’ is a coming-of-age musical drama series that is loosely based on the real-life band with the same name. It chronicles the lives of a group of teenagers from Wilmington, North Carolina, who leave high school and decide to form a music band, slowly becoming a source of inspiration for the younger generation in the community. The real members of the band, William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock, and Jesse Golliher, star in the series, alongside Brooklyn Decker. Loving the place and the people serves as the crux of ‘The Runarounds,’ with the band being backed by...

Prime Video is ready with an entertainment-packed September this year. The upcoming month will see the release of the much-anticipated Season 2 of Gen V, and also the streaming release of the web series Helluva Boss.

The Runarounds isn’t your ordinary teen drama. The Prime Video series, dropping on September 1, is ready to drum up some serious fun — and music. Not only does the show follow a group of North Carolina teens in a rock band… The Runarounds are a real-life band, too. (They’ll be heading out on their Minivan Tour in September.) Jeremy Yun and William Lipton, who play Topher and Charlie, have been making music together since they were kids. Zendé Murdock, Axel Ellis, and Jesse Golliher were hoping to score a cameo on Outer Banks, which was cocreated by The Runarounds boss Jonas Pate, and ended up forming a band with Yun and Lipton.

“The Runarounds” may be the follow-up to Jonas Pate’s hit YA series “Outer Banks,” but there’s never been a show quite like it. That’s because this fictional story of how an up-and-coming High School rock band came to be is almost non-fiction, since the boys are actually a music group in real life, too.

William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock and Jesse Golliher star in the Rockfish Films, Skydance Television and Amazon MGM Studios co-production, which had its Los Angeles premiere at the Directors Guild of America theater complex on Tuesday night in Hollywood — followed by a live performance and after-party at The Roxy.

Amazon Prime Video is launching The Runarounds, a new young adult musical drama series, releasing this Fall. The series is created by Netflix’s Outer Banks co-creator Jonas Pate. The storyline follows five teenagers chasing their dreams of musical stardom during one unforgettable summer.

This new show is inspired by real-life musicians and features them in starring roles. It mixes coming-of-age stories with original music performed by a real band, making it a fresh and unique addition to Prime Video’s fall lineup.

The Runarounds Season 1 Release Date

The Runarounds Season 1 will be available to stream exclusively on Prime Video starting September 1, 2025. The entire season, with eight episodes, will drop at once.

Netflix's Outer Banks will soon come to an end, but Hulu is developing a new show that could work as a suitable replacement. Debuting in April 2020, from co-creators Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke, Outer Banks began by introducing viewers to the Kooks and the Pouges — two conflicting groups of teenagers in search of lost treasure.

Half a decade later, the adventure drama series is one of Netflix's most reliable hits. The fourth season was watched for more than a billion minutes in its debut week alone, taking the second spot in Nielsen's Streaming Top 10 Charts. But with Outer Banks season 5 confirmed to be the show's farewell outing, a new adaptation could help to fill the void.

Deadlinereports that Hulu is developing a TV adaptation of The Summer of Songebirds, the best-selling novel by Kristy Woodson Harvey. The story revolves around the power of forged family, focusing...

We know how impossible it is to resist a teen drama packed with heartache, guitar riffs, and all the sunset-drenched chaos. And if you’ve ever been hooked on shows like Outer Banks or even the musical pulse of Daisy Jones & The Six, then The Runarounds will feel like it was made for you.

Let's talk about the upcoming Prime Video series!

When does The Runarounds come out? Topher (Jeremy Yun), Charlie (William Lipton), Neil (Axel Ellis)

Prime Video is dropping all eight episodes of The Runarounds on Sept. 1, 2025. It looks like all those episodes will stream at 12 a.m. Pt on the release date.

With The Summer I Turned Pretty hitting Prime Video weekly, it's already shaping up to be the perfect beach-storming, coming-of-age summer on the streaming service.

Prime Video ha desvelado el primer tráiler y póster de su nueva serie The Runarounds.

La serie de ocho episodios sigue a un grupo de recién graduados de secundaria de Wilmington, Carolina del Norte, que se reúne en verano para formar una banda de rock, unidos por su amor compartido por la música y su sueño casi imposible de alcanzar el estrellato. A lo largo de un verano inolvidable, se lanzan a la búsqueda de su gran oportunidad, enamorándose, metiéndose en líos y creando vínculos que los unen como una familia.

La serie dramática musical, creada por Jonas y Josh Pate (Outer Banks), cuenta con un reparto formado por los músicos en la vida real William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock y Jesse Golliher, acompañados por Lilah Pate, Maximo Salas, Kelley Pereira, Marley Aliah, Mark Wystrach, Brooklyn Decker, Hayes MacArthur y Shea Pritchard.

Madelyn Cline has successfully made the leap from television to film actor thanks to her roles in "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" and 2025's "I Know What You Did Last Summer" legacy sequel. But her calling card at this point is still breaking hearts on the small screen as Sarah Cameron on "Outer Banks." The production specifically wanted to avoid casting "theater kids" and instead focused on actors who genuinely felt like adventure-seeking kids in North Carolina. Cline, as it were, fit the bill perfectly as a native to the state who embodies Sarah, joining forces with local working-class teenagers who seek out treasure.

The show will return for a fifth and final season, but given the popularity of "Outer Banks" on Netflix, there's always the question of whether the story could continue in some other form, like a spin-off or legacy sequel series. While chatting with Screen Rant,...

“The Runarounds” is a new Skydance Television musical teen drama series created by Jonas Pate, starring Brooklyn Decker, Maximo Salas, Marley Aliah, Hayes MacArthur, Mark Wystrach, Shea Pritchard, William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock, Jesse Golliher, Lilah Pate and Kelley Pereira, streaming September 1, 2025 on Prime Video:

As the lead singer of several bands throughout my middle school and high school career, I, too, have dreamt about making music that would turn heads. While each project had its time, it then faded away as my bandmates and I got older. I don’t regret a single moment spent on stage, much like the musicians-turned-actors featured in Jonas and Josh Pate’s latest television drama, The Runarounds. Prime Video debuted a trailer for The Runarounds yesterday, highlighting the newest project from the creators of Outer Banks.

Coming to Prime Video on September 1, The Runarounds stars real-life musicians William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock, and Jesse Golliher. They are at the center of the Pates’ coming-of-age drama, with fellow cast members Lilah Pate, Maximo Salas, Kelley Pereira, Marley Aliah, Mark Wystrach, Brooklyn Decker, Hayes MacArthur, and Shea Pritchard.

It's always a somewhat reassuring thing when the creators of a television show know how their story will end (or how they want it to end) right from the start. For any TV writer, it's a comforting thought to have a proper and, ideally, satisfying conclusion in mind that will bring a sense of closure to both their series' characters and viewers — not to mention, it also makes the writing process easier when you have an end point you can work towards.

However, many shows simply aren't lucky enough to see their plans through if, for whatever reason, their network or streaming service decides to cancel them earlier than expected. God knows that many excellent series have been prevented from saying a proper goodbye and having to wrap up their storylines the way they'd like to. Think of Paul Feig's quirky classic "Freaks and Geeks" or Gregory Thomas Garcia...

Netflix‘s wildly popular teen drama Outer Banks has always thrived on high-stakes adventures and mystery. The show currently boasts a 79% Rotten Tomatoes rating, follows a group of tight-knit underdogs called Pogues and wealthy residents called Kooks. Within this thrill ride, two characters stand out as walking cautionary tales: JJ Maybank and Kiara Carrera (Kie).

With four seasons of non-stop dangers, the show’s fast-paced plot kept fans hooked. From best friends to love birds, the two characters have always been equally reckless. JJ and Kie have pushed the boundaries of survival more than anyone. They have always made it out alive until one of them couldn’t in season 4.

From the moment the Pogues were introduced, JJ and Kiara have been close friends. However, their bond can be defined by rebellion and risk.

Netflix hits come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. They can be true crime thrillers, high-concept dramas, or some of the most popular reality TV programming around. But, one specific recurs in the most beloved shows, though: big swings on their way out, or rather around the time Netflix tells them it's time to wrap things up. In the case of "The Outer Banks," having Rudy Pankow's JJ Maybank die at the end of season 4 definitely qualifies as one of the aforementioned "big swings." "The Outer Banks'" series creators laid out why the decision was made, and they chose to kill off one of their most popular characters to elicit a visceral reaction. It worked, as evidenced by the fan outcry such a high-profile death was bound to produce.

Over the course of four seasons, "The Outer Banks" fans had grown to find Pankow's character, JJ Maybank,...

Netflix reports that production is officially underway on the upcoming fifth and final season of Outer Banks in Charleston, South Carolina. Season four premiered in October 2024, and season five is expected to debut in 2026.

“We are over the moon to be setting out on one last trip with the Pogues,” stated creators and executive producers Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke to Tudum. “Being back on set with our cast for this final round is nothing short of bittersweet and surreal. We can’t wait to show everyone what we have in store this season—it’s going to be a wild ride…”

The final season cast includes returning series stars Chase Stokes as John B., Madelyn Cline as Sarah Cameron, Madison Bailey as Kiara, Jonathan Daviss as Pope,...

Cue up some DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince because it’s summertime! To celebrate the first day of the sweltering season, Netflix is excited to announce that Outer Banks Season 5 production is underway! The fifth and final season of Outer Banks has begun production in Charleston, South Carolina, for a 2026 premiere on Netflix.

In a “dispatch to all Pogues” last year, Outer Banks co-creators and executive producers Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke explained why the time is right to bring the series to a close.

“Seven years ago, in the summer of 2017, we came across a photo of teenagers on a beach at dusk during a power outage. That photo sparked an idea for a story of four best friends who only want to have a good time all the time,” reads the statement. “From this beginning, we imagined a mystery that would lead to a five-season journey of adventure,...

It’s official — the fifth and final season of Netflix’s hit YA adventure series Outer Banks will debut in 2026. The streamer confirmed the premiere year in an announcement that production on Season 5 has begun in Charleston, Sc. The press release revealed that Cullen Moss, who has recurred since Season 1 as Deputy and subsequently Sheriff Shoupe, and J. Anthony Crane, introduced in Season 4 as JJ’s (Rudy Pankow) biological father Chandler Groff, have been promoted to series regulars for the final season, hinting at where the story may be headed.

The start-of-production announcement includes two first-look cast images from the new installment, and they reveal a potential new configuration of the Pogues following the shocking death of JJ (Pankow) at the end of the Season 4 finale.

One of the images features Chase Stokes (John B.), Madelyn Cline (Sarah), Madison Bailey (Kiara), Jonathan Daviss (Pope), Drew Starkey (Rafe) and Carlacia Grant...

Kicking off the official first day of summer, Netflix today announced that the highly anticipated fifth and final season of Outer Banks has begun production in Charleston, South Carolina. Season 5 of the fan-favorite drama is slated to premiere on Netflix in 2026.

The returning series regulars include Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Drew Starkey, Carlacia Grant, Austin North, and Fiona Palomo. J. Anthony Crane and Cullen Moss will also return for Season 5 and have been upped to series regulars.

Across its four seasons, Outer Banks has received nearly 200 million views and has been featured on the Top 10 English TV List 25 times.

“We are over the moon to be setting out on one last trip with the Pogues,” creators Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke told the Netflix blog Tudum. “Being back on set with our cast for this final round is nothing short of bittersweet and surreal.

The Pogues are back! Netflix revealed the first images from production on the fifth and final season of “Outer Banks” on Friday, depicting all of the Pogues — minus JJ.

After a mission to Morocco ended tragically, the crew lost not only the Blue Crown but also a member of their chosen family. Season 5 will continue without Rudy Pankow, it seems – at least from the on-set cast photos.

In another twist from the end of Season 4, Sarah Cameron (Madelyn Cline) is pregnant with John B.’s (Chase Stokes) baby. JJ once hinted to the duo that his name would be great for a child — boy or girl — which now holds more meaning than ever.

Returning series regulars for the final season include Stokes,...

Before Ginny & Georgia made him a Netflix heartthrob, Felix Mallard actually missed his first big swing on the platform. Yep, long before playing Marcus, he was cast in another Netflix original that ended up scoring a solid 79% rating. But Mallard never showed up.

Whether it was timing, hesitation, or just a twist of fate, the opportunity slipped through his fingers. While the show moved on without him, Mallard eventually found his spotlight in Wellsbury. Still, it’s wild to think he almost broke out even earlier and with a totally different story to tell.

It's been a minute since we've heard much about Outer Banks season 5. We know fans are anxiously awaiting information about the start of production, the cast list, what's going to happen in the new season, and of course, how long we'll have to wait until the Outer Banks season 5 release date on Netflix.

To make sure fans are caught up, we shared all the latest updates about Outer Banks season 5 in one place! There's not a ton to work with, but there have been some changes worth mentioning. So, let's get into it!

Here's what we know about Outer Banks season 5 as of the end of April 2025! There are some spoilers for the first four seasons of the series ahead.

Outer Banks season 5 is the final season of the Netflix series

Well, by now, most fans probably know that Outer Banks season 5 will be the final season of the series.

Outer Banks season 5 might take a little bit longer to hit Netflix now.

According to a report from What's on Netflix, the cast and crew were supposed to start filming Outer Banks season 5 in May, but that start date has been pushed back to June 16. No reason for the delay has been revealed.

After Outer Banks season 4 dropped on Netflix in the fall of 2024, we heard quickly that season 5 was going to start filming in the spring of 2025. While we thought March or April were the likely start dates, it's clear that season 5's production start is getting a late spring start date. Outer Banks season 5 is the final season of the Netflix original series.

Outer Banks season 5 probably won't be released as early as we thought

In an interview with Port City Daily, creator Jonas Pate revealed the spring start for Outer Banks season 5. Pate also mentioned that production...

Outer Banks leans hard into the friends-to-lovers trope and ends up face-planting. Instead of slow-burn charm, we get awkward stares, clunky moments, and zero real spark.

Frankly speaking, it’s less romantic tension and more secondhand embarrassment on loop. The very shift from friendship to romance feels rushed, forced, and way too scripted to land any real emotional punch.

Sure, the show nails the beach vibes and adventure chaos, but when it tries to get cute with love, it fumbles hard. The chemistry falls flat, the buildup lacks bite, and the whole thing feels more cringe than compelling.

Netflix’s Outer Banks might serve up tropical sunsets and buried treasure, but when it comes to romance?...

We have some good news to share with fans about Outer Banks season 5!

The cast and crew of Outer Banks are getting ready to start filming the final season of the hit Netflix original series. The latest rumors and reports suggest Outer Banks season 5 filming starts this spring, and that's a very good sign for fans anxiously awaiting the release of the final season.

According to a report from The Island Packet, Dan Rogers of the South Carolina Film Commission said the cast and crew of Outer Banks season 5 will be filming in Beaufort County in May 2025. It's likely that they will film in and around Hunting Island, as they've done in the past.

Why is this a big deal? Well, it's the first time we've seen an official discuss the filming start date since Jonas Pate revealed that production would start this spring during an interview with Port City...

While Outer Banks fans are recovering from a double dose of bad news (JJ Maybank dying in the season 4 finale and the season 5 release pushed to 2026), one of the stars of Outer Banks season 4 opened up about how he learned about JJ's death in the finale.

As it turns out, Rudy Pankow, who starred as JJ Maybank in all four seasons of Outer Banks, kept the killer secret that his character would be dying in the season finale from J. Anthony Crane, who played Chandler Groff, JJ's real father, for as long possible. As you'll remember, Groff is JJ's father and killer!

In a new interview with The Direct, Crane revealed that he was shocked to learn his character would kill JJ, and Pankow had a legendary response. Here's what Crane told The Direct:

"I think he knew what was going to happen, but he didn't tell me. But I...

It’s been months since the second part of Outer Banks Season 4 was released on Netflix, but I can tell you that I’m still unwell. Who knows how long it’s going to take to get over this infuriating season and devastating season finale, but it certainly won’t be anytime soon. While re-watching the first three seasons of Netflix’s adventure teen-drama series, which found worldwide success, offers at least a slight hint of comfort, the developments regarding Outer Banks’s fifth and last season make my world crumble. Again.

Even though Outer Banks became one of the most successful series of the 2020s so far, the Netflix hit series has received tons of backlash ever since the fourth season was released. From controversies regarding tensions on set, shocking character deaths, painfully cringe interactions, and questionable character developments, Outer Banks is certainly in the thick of it. Unfortunately,...

Netflix's teen drama series Outer Banks has been a consistent success throughout its four seasons, and it has been renewed for season 5. Created for TV by Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke in 2020, the series concerns a group of friends (who call themselves Pogues), who search for lost treasure and duke it out with rival teen group, The Kooks, in the Outer Banks region of North Carolina. Mixing all the trappings of classic teen romance with swashbuckling adventure, Outer Banks delivers a unique viewing experience that has helped make it one of Netflix's most popular originals.

Season four opens with a lot of emotional baggage, as the Pogues must not only deal with their complicated family lives, but the burgeoning new adventure that was laid out before them. As the relationships in Outer Banks get more complicated with each successive season, so too does the intrigue. Perhaps the...

Just a couple of months after it was confirmed in the works, Outer Banks star Chase Stokes has a vague update on season 5's development. Netflix's action-adventure drama show first premiered on the streaming platform in 2020, and is set in North Carolina's titular coastal region, where a group of friends search for legendary lost treasures. Created by Josh and Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke, Outer Banks boasts an ensemble cast, and in 2024 it was confirmed that season 5 will be the final season of the show, but details have been few and far between so far.

In an interview with ScreenRant for his upcoming romantic drama Marked Men: Rule + Shaw, Stokes revealed that, although Outer Banks season 5 has been confirmed as the final season of the show, things are moving slowly with development, and Netflix has remained tight-lipped. He revealed that the writers are working hard to come up with...

Fans of Netflix's Outer Banks were dealt a major blow after showrunners killed off Og Pogue JJ Maybank (Rudy Pankow). However, creators Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke trusted their writers to make the best decisions for the show's upcoming and final season. Although JJ Maybank worked to move the storyline forward for the existing four seasons, his character arc fell flat, leaving little room for the Pogues to grow as individuals or as a group. It was often the Pogue's altercations with the Kooks — namely, Rafe Cameron (Drew Starkey) — which made for countless twists and turns as the often confounding storyline unfurled for all the characters in Season 4.
