The second half of season 4 will debut on November 7 on Netflix.
Outer Banks co-creators and executive producers Jonas Pate, Josh Pate and Shannon Burke explained the decision in a letter to fans, saying season four was the “longest and hardest – but most rewarding – to produce,” and it will have “a feature length” finale “which we think is our best, most powerful episode.”
“Season Five will be our last season, and we think it will be our best yet,” they added. Read the entire letter below!
Letter to the Pogues, from the Show’s Creators:
“Dispatch to all Pogues:
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. From this beginning, we imagined a mystery that would lead to a five-season journey of adventure, treasure hunting, and friendship.
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 fourth season was our longest and hardest – but most rewarding – to produce. The season ends with a feature length episode, which we think is our best, most powerful episode. We hope you feel the same way.
Now, with a little sadness, but also excitement, we’re putting Season Four behind us, and are turning to Season Five, in which we hope to bring our beloved Pogues home in the way we imagined and planned years ago. Season Five will be our last season, and we think it will be our best yet. We hope you’ll join us for one more paddle out to the surf break.
P4L,
Josh, Jonas, and Shannon”
