Outer Banks Season 4: A New Adventure for The Pogues

A new adventure awaits for “The Pogues” as “Outer Banks” Season 4 premieres on the streaming platform Netflix. The upcoming season, which will be released in two parts in October, promises an exciting continuation of the saga, with new treasure hunts and challenges.

Following the dramatic conclusions of Season 3, where The Pogues found gold at El Dorado, Season 4 begins with the group leaving behind their treasure-hunting life to establish a bait and tackle shop along with a charter tour company back in the Outer Banks. “They come back home… and they actually build what they had on the island, but even a better version of it: Poguelandia 2.0,” explained showrunner Jonas Pate.

However, the tranquility is short-lived. As series star Chase Stokes hinted in a recent interview, the gang quickly finds themselves embroiled once more in the quest for legendary treasures, this time seeking the pirate Blackbeard‘s trove. “The season’s really about them trying to protect what they’ve built back in the Outer Banks,” Pate added. The storyline will explore whether the Pogues can maintain their budding enterprise while navigating new dangers.

Netflix announced the renewal of the popular series for a fourth season in February 2023, in alignment with the growing fan enthusiasm. This season will debut similarly to other series like “Bridgerton” and “Emily in Paris,” with its episodes structured in two parts. The first five episodes are set to release on Thursday, October 10, 2024, at 3:00 a.m. Eastern Time, with the remaining episodes arriving on November 7.

A recent official synopsis released by Netflix describes Season 4 as potentially “the biggest season yet.” The Pogues’ journey will also face financial challenges, prompting them to reconsider an offer from Wes Genrette, which leads to their reentry into the treasure-seeking lifestyle. The synopsis indicates that this will bring them into conflict with “dangerous new enemies,” pushing the characters to question their identities and the value of their risky endeavors.

Returning for Season 4 are lead actors Chase Stokes, known for his role as John B, and Madelyn Cline, who portrays Sarah. Fiona Palomo will also reappear as Sofia after being promoted to a series regular, bringing continuity and familiarity to the new installment.

To build anticipation for the new season, Netflix released the trailer on September 24, 2024. The voice of John B, played by Stokes, guides viewers through the upcoming storyline: “So, you might be wondering: What happens after you find the lost city of El Dorado and you are stranded with a sack full of gold? Let me catch you up.” The trailer sets the stage for an enticing mix of action, mystery, and drama.
