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.

There's some exciting news for Outer Banks fans coming down the pipeline, and while it might not be a release date or any new footage, it's sure to be exactly what we're looking for! Adding to the excitement, some of our favorite Pogues will be delivering the Outer Banks season 5 update during the Netflix Tudum live event in May 2025.

Netflix officially unveiled the vast majority of the lineup for the Tudum live event, which takes place on Saturday, May 31 at 8 p.m. Et/5 p.m. Pt with host Sofia Carson. Thankfully, the lineup includes five special guests from Outer Banks. Chase Stokes, Madison Bailey, Carlacia Grant, Jonathan Daviss, and Drew Starkey have all be confirmed to appear during the event.

All of our key Pogues will be in attendance, except for Madelyn Cline, who's likely working on another project and won't be available. Of course, Rudy Pankow also won't be...

Outer Banks season 5 is starting filming very soon, but things are going to look a lot different on set for the final season without Rudy Pankow, who left the series after four seasons. Outer Banks season 5 will be the first season without JJ Maybank as a key character.

In the Outer Banks season 4 finale, JJ was killed by his biological father, Chandler Groff, played by J. Anthony Crane. After burying JJ in Morocco, John B (Chase Stokes), Sarah Cameron (Madelyn Cline), Pope (Jonathan Daviss), Kiara (Madison Bailey), and Cleo (Carlacia Grant) are ready to get revenge.

Heading into season 5, there are a few characters who will definitely play a bigger role without JJ. Let's get the list started with Kiara!

Viewers experienced a whirlwind of emotions after Outer Banks aired its Season 4 – Part 2 on November 7. The final episode saw Rudy Pankow's JJ and Madison Bailey's Kiara finally getting the Blue Crown they had been looking for and running for it in Morocco.

Suddenly, JJ's biological father — J. Anthony Crane's Chandler Groff — grabbed Kiara and threatened her with a knife, forcing his son to give him the treasure. He soon fatally stabbed JJ and left him to die in Kiara's arms.

"Take care of the others. I love you, Kie," JJ told Kiara before taking his last breath.

"It's something that's engineered to be gratuitous," showrunner Shannon Burke said of the death in an interview with EW.

In an official statement, Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke confirmed the Outer Banks last season, with which they hope to bring [the] beloved Pogues home in the way [they] imagined and planned years ago. Although this hints at a possible happy ending where John B, Kiara, Sarah, Pope, and Cleo get Poguelandia back, the Outer Banks season 4 ending sets a rocky road ahead for the group.

Before JJs death in Outer Banks season 4 finale, he makes a series of selfless sacrifices that put his life at risk in order to help the other Pogues. His decision to give Groff the Blue Crown and save Kie ultimately culminated in his death, which happened just one episode after JJ nearly died saving Sarah from the ocean.

Some anime series take a while to ease into the action, ramping up gradually before the series' most exciting, heart-racing moments occur. Other popular shonen series, like Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia, for example, model this slow escalation, taking their time before portraying serious death, violence, and gore. The same cannot be said about Demon Slayer though. In the very first episode, aptly titled "Cruelty," I was caught off guard by the sheer brutality and sorrow that unfolded in the first few minutes alone.

The first episode of Demon Slayer was phenomenal at capturing my attention and immersing me in the story. Rather than introduce the characters in a lighthearted manner, episode one pulls no punches, thrusting viewers directly into the horrors to come in Demon Slayer's world that is plagued by violent and bloodthirsty creatures called demons. Before I even knew any of the characters' names, who they were,...

Outer Banks season 4 just premiered on Netflix on Oct. 10. The final five episodes of season 4 were added to Netflix on Friday, Nov. 7. Since then, Outer Banks has been the most popular show on Netflix. And, it also means that it's time to update the ranking of all four seasons of Outer Banks.

Outer Banks is actually one of the most popular Netflix shows of the last few years. So far, there are four seasons of Outer Banks on Netflix. The series premiered on the streamer in April 2020, and we saw the second season in July 2021, followed by season 3 in February 2023. Netflix renewed Outer Banks for season 4 just before the season 3 premiere. Now, Outer Banks season 5 is in the works on Netflix!

I have a confession: I’m a massive Outer Banks fan. I’ve seen all three seasons multiple times, and I don’t think any season is bad. Despite...

Warning! This article contains major Spoilers for Outer Banks season 4, part 2!Though JJs death in Outer Banks season 4 finale came as a massive shock to audiences, the plans for his fate had been laid long before. Over the years, it seemed as if Outer Banks main characters, the Pogues, had enough plot armor and luck to keep them immune from death. Sarah has almost died in every season, with John B, Kiara, and Pope also surviving numerous lethal situations on their treasure hunts over the first four seasons. However, Outer Banks finally took the plunge and killed off JJ Maybank (Rudy Pankow), the Pogue-est of all Pogues, in season 4.

A fan-favorite character, John Bs best friend, the wild card, and, eventually, Kiaras boyfriend, not much could have prepared audiences for JJ to be the Pogues first death, especially after Outer Banks revealed JJs real identity and backstory only a few episodes earlier.

Through good, bad, and ugly, with rapt attention, we tune into Outer Banks and wholly embrace the ride that’s always in store for us.

And Outer Banks Season 4 was no exception, delivering the series’ biggest and most compact season to date with twists, revelations, celebrations, and tragedy.

While the season had many enjoyable aspects, we also have plenty of gripes and must address those.

While we await what the final season has in store, let’s unpack some of the glaring issues that frustrated us during an epic season.

So here are some of the reasons Outer Banks Season 4 lost the plot and subsequently pissed us off in the process.

Madison Bailey and Rudy Pankow have been working together on Outer Banks since 2020, playing the roles of Kiara "Kie" Carrera and JJ Maybank, respectively.

In a recent interview with Netflix, Pankow opened up about portraying JJ following the series' Season 4 finale.

"For JJ, he has to judge every moment in his life, if it's worth it [to take the risk], and I think it's constantly, yeah, it is for him," said Pankow. "Even throughout the pain and the suffering and the struggles for JJ, it's worth it for him to go to that length. He lives his life to the utmost fullest, and I don't think...

“You know, your luck’s gonna run out one day,” Outer Banks‘ Kiara tells JJ in the Season 4 finale. And by the end of the episode, it has.

The most impulsive Pogue meets his end in Episode 10 at the hands of his biological father, Chandler Groff. But let’s back up a little bit and recap how JJ’s tragic outcome came about, shall we?

Outer Banks season 4 episode 7 begins right when episode 6 ended. JJ Maybank (Rudy Pankow) returned to Goat Island to confront Chandler Groff (J. Anthony Crane) about the fact that he is JJ’s father. He looks at the portrait of Larissa Genrette on the wall, and it’s clear that he recognizes the resemblance between Larissa and him.

He asks Groff if he is his father, but Groff denies it. JJ reveals that Luke Maybank (Gary Weeks) was the one who told him that Groff was his father. Groff tries to lie again. JJ asks what really happened to his baby. Groff says that the baby drowned, but they never found the body.

It’s a very weird exchange, but they don’t have long before things hit the fan.

Captain Dalia (Pollyanna McIntosh) and Lightner return to Goat Island to revenge on Chandler for killing Omar, the person who was in their crew.

Outer Banks season 4 part 2 picks up immediately after episode 5, “Albatross,” when Luke Maybank (Gary Weeks) reveals to JJ that he’s the son of Larissa Genrette (Tommi Rose) and Chandler Groff (J. Anthony Crane).

JJ still doesn't believe that he's the son of Larissa and Groff.

In the first scene of Outer Banks season 4 episode 6, “The Town Council,” we get a flashback to baby JJ. Luke helps soothe JJ while Larissa struggles with her relationship with her husband. Luke grows close with Larissa before Groff reveals she’s not doing well. Groff brings JJ to Luke’s house to give his parents a break.

Groff pays Luke to take JJ behind Larissa’s back, which is a bit strange, right? Like, it’s straight kidnapping. Larissa reportedly drowns with her son, which is not true because obviously Luke has JJ. Groff convinces Luke to keep JJ without telling the Genrettes that he’s alive.

Days ahead of the return of Outer Banks on Netflix, the fate of the show has been revealed. It's a mixture of both good and bad news for fans of the show.

Per Deadline, it has been revealed that Outer Banks has been renewed for Season 5. However, it's also been confirmed that Season 5 will serve as the final season for the show. Outer Banks coming to an end with its next season was explained by series co-creators Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke in a statement. The trio shared how it was always their vision for the show to have a five-season run, hinting that this wasn't a case of Netflix unexpectedly giving them the boot.

When not out searching for treasure or sticking it to the "Kooks", Kie from Outer Banks has had an interesting romantic history through the show's first few seasons. Premiering on Netflix in 2020, Outer Banks follows a group of working-class teens (known as the "Pogues") who live in the Outer Banks region of North Carolina and fight against the wealthy summer residents known as "Kooks" while also searching for lost treasure. The series gained immediate attention for its multi-faceted storytelling and the way it deftly blends teen romance, social commentary, and action-adventure into one accessible package.

Critics gave Outer Banks modest praise (via Rotten Tomatoes), and the over-the-top melodrama was largely balanced out by the adept interpersonal stories and summer vibes. Netflix's best teen series represent an obvious push by the streamer to beef up its young adult content, and Outer Banks represents the culmination of that idea. Kiarra "Kie" Carrera...

After the major cliffhanger we were left with in episode 4, Outer Banks season 4 episode 5, "Albatross," gives us an answer as to what happens with the Pogues when Shoupe shows up and they have Terrance's dead body lying in their living room. Yeah, not a good look. Here's our review of the episode of the Netflix series. Spoilers Below.

Alright, so Shoupe shows up to Poguelandia 2.0 looking for JJ after the parents of the Kooks at the beach saw the video of him threatening to kill them all. They just want an excuse to take down the Pogues. Rude. The one problem is that Terrance's body is still there, and they end up having to hide him behind the couch right where Shoupe and JJ go to talk. Oh my goodness. Definitely a heart-racing moment for them and us!

The outer banks certainly are a unique place to grow up and live. And based on the way these North Carolina kids have grown up, of course they're fans of the water and it's a huge part of their lives. That's why Outer Banks season 4 episode 4, "The Swell," is a fitting title. And as the tides grew enough for the Kooks and Pogues to surf, so did the tension. Here's our review of the episode on Netflix. Spoilers Below.

After the cliffhanger of the second episode of Wes Genrette now dead and the Pogues driving their boat right to his home with Shoupe there to investigate, of course he's going to question them.

Alright, that watery hunt for the treasure was everything and really showcases what the Pogues are all about. Yes, they really can do anything if they work together. We saw that in the premiere with them building their surf shop. But when they put their heads together on a mission of sorts, I felt the adrenaline running through me!

With Blackbeard's treasure involved and this being the outer banks, of course there was water going to be involved at some point. Wes Genrette believes that his family has been cursed and haunted by the pirate's wife,...

Outer Banks season 4 part 1 is finally here on Netflix, and we are so psyched! It's been a long wait, but we're finally here and our favorite Pogues are back. Outer Banks season 4 episode 1, "The Enduro," starts the adventure off a bit slow, though it still did have many good moments. Here's our review. Spoilers Below.

Jackson Lee Davis/Netflix © 2024

The main focus of the premiere episode of the fourth season is catching us viewers up on what happened in the last 18 months between when the Pogues found El Dorado and then were named heroes in their town as we saw at the end of season 3. So what were they up to? Well if there's one thing you definitely can't say about John B, Sarah, Pope, Kie, JJ, and Cleo is that they're lazy. These guys definitely do not shy away from hard labor!

With them finding the gold, of course they're entitled to it.

Somehow the Pogues don’t notice that Cleo (Carlacia Grant) went missing at the Outer Banks season 4 episode 3, “The Lupine Corsairs.” Well, they obviously get distracted in the first part of Outer Banks season 4 episode 4, “The Swell,” because it’s a Swell Day, and they’re headed to the beach.

The bad guys featuring Captain Terrance (Terence Rosemore) and Lightner (Rigo Sanchez) text the Pogues from Cleo’s phone and tell them that she’s busy with the fish. With the Pogues heading to the beach, the bad guys are going to try to steal the amulet from the Pogues with Cleo’s help. She knows where it is, and Terrance tries to convince her to give them what they’re asking for or they’ll kill them both.

It’s the Pogues vs. Sheriff Shoupe (Cullen Moss) in the first scene of Outer Banks season 4 episode 3, “The Lupine Corsairs.”

At the end of the second episode, the Pogues minus JJ (Rudy Pankow) and Kie (Madison Bailey) stumbled upon an active crime scene. Then, Shoupe starts interviewing John B (Chase Stokes), Pope (Jonathan Daviss), Sarah (Madelyn Cline), and Cleo (Carlacia Grant). They actually tell the truth, mostly. Of course, they left out the important part that they actually found Elizabeth’s amulet.

Then, the Pogues bump into the last person to see Wes (David Jensen) alive, Chandler Groff (J. Anthony Crane), his own son-in-law. And, let’s be real. He’s shady for real for real. He tells Pope and the gang that he intends to honor the deal that Wes made with the Pogues.

At this point in the series, the Pogues are getting pretty good at picking up vibes.

The Pogues are about to embark on their next adventure in Outer Banks season 4 episode 2, “Blackbeard.”

Remember, at the end of season 3, the Pogues were approached by Wes Genrette (David Jensen), a mysterious old man, who wants the Pogues’ help in finding Blackbeard’s treasure. We saw that again in the season 4 premiere. For a time, it looked like they were just going to dive right in, but there’s a lot more to Wes’s interest in Blackbeard’s treasure.

You see, Francis Genrette, Wes’s ancestor,...

The Outer Banks season 4 part 1 ending is definitely a big cliffhanger! Well, there are a few big cliffhangers actually in Outer Banks season 4 episode 5, "Albatross."

For most of the season, the Pogues were just interested in paying off their property taxes. After JJ gambled away the last of the money from the El Dorado gold, the Pogues were in a rough spot, and Wes Genrette (David Jensen), who we met at the end of Outer Banks season 3, threw the Pogues a lifeline.

In exchange for finding the amulet that belonged to Elizabeth Teach, the wife of Blackbeard, in Blackbeard's wrecked ship, Wes would give the Pogues $50K, more than enough to cover the cost of the taxes and get the business back up and running.

The plan was going so well until it hit a snag! Another group, a violent one, was also looking for the amulet, which holds clues...

The anthology Terror Tuesday: Extreme is inspired by tales told by listeners of a radio show—true horror stories that should make you wonder what you’ve done wrong to torture yourself with such a show. But watching Girl Next Door didn’t really have me squirming in fear or locking my doors. Maybe it’s because I’m not a man, and I’d imagine this one’s targeted at lecherous dudes who don’t know how to control their desires. Anyway, Girl Next Door stars Nat Kitcharit, who international fans such as myself would’ve seen in Delete.
