The Pogues are back for Outer Banks season 4. Upon its release in 2020, Outer Banks became a breakout hit and one of the most popular TV shows on Netflix. In the Outer Banks of North Carolina, several friends known as the Pogues set out to find the valuable treasure on an iconic ship.
The Pogues have hunted for gold for the past three seasons while avoiding every sinister obstacle thrown in their path. Season 4, coming later this year, will be no different, as the Pogues have their sights set on another treasure. Here is everything you need to know about Outer Banks season 4.
Is there a release date for Outer Banks season 4?
Yes! Outer Banks season 4 will be split into two five-episode parts. Part 1 premieres on October 10, with part 2 streaming one month later on November 7.
Is there a trailer for Outer Banks season 4?
On August 29, Netflix released a second teaser of Outer Banks season 4. The footage begins with John B. standing on the roof of a house, while holding a piece of gold. “That’s where this story should have ended,” John B says over the upbeat music. “But really, it was just the beginning.” The teaser features motorcycle jumps, fist fights, and scuba diving, as the Pogues prepare for their next adventure.
Netflix released a teaser trailer in June 2023 to mark the start of filming. The video featured the Pogues on their home of Kildare Island. The group packed into John B’s van, “Twinkie,” and drove off.

What happened at the end of Outer Banks season 3?
In South America, John B and Sarah find El Dorado and retrieve a piece of gold to prove its existence. When they return from the cave, Singh is waiting and holds them at gunpoint, demanding the location of the gold. To escape, John B’s father, Big John, throws a stick of dynamite at the entrance, killing Singh.
After the explosion, John B, Sarah, and Big John reunite with the Pogues outside the cave. However, Ward Cameron shows up and holds them at gunpoint. When one of Singh’s men arrives and points a gun at Sarah, Ward sacrifices himself by pushing the gunman off the cliff, killing them both. Though the Pogues reach their boat safely, Big John collapses and dies due to blood loss from an earlier injury.
What is the Outer Banks season 4 plot?
The final scene of Outer Banks season 3 featured an 18-month jump in time. John B and Sarah own a surf shop, Kiara works to save the turtles, JJ buys a charter boat, and Pope readies for college. Pope is also in a relationship with Cleo. The Pogues convene for a ceremony to honor their discovery of El Dorado.
The Pogues’ celebration is interrupted by Wes Genrette (David Jensen), who asks the group to examine a captain’s log owned by Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard the Pirate. The log could be the key to finding his gold. Season 4 will continue this storyline as the Pogues search for Blackbeard’s hidden treasure.
Before the Pogues begin their new treasure-hunting adventure, Outer Banks season 4 will start in the time leading up to that moment in the season 3 finale. The series will show the Pogues returning to normal life in the OBX after discovering gold at El Dorado. The group now lives in “Pogulandia 2.0,” which is home to their bait, tackle, and charter tour shop. When their money supply dries up, the Pogues will take Wes up on his offer and hunt for Blackbeard’s treasure.
Outer Banks season 4 wraps filming
Outer Banks season 4 filming is over. The cast released a video message on June 20 to announce that filming has wrapped and teased what fans can expect in the upcoming episodes.
“It has been a crazy, crazy journey,” Stokes says in the video. “But it’s done.”

Outer Banks is one of Netflix’s most popular shows. The passionate fan base led to the streamer greenlighting a fourth season days before the third season premiered in February 2023. As of May 2024, Outer Banks season 5 has not been announced. However, the show will likely receive a fifth season because of its strong viewership.
Outer Banks co-creators Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke originally planned for the series to last four to five seasons. However, Josh explained in a February 2023 interview with EW that the number of seasons could change.
“I don’t know if I could put a real number on it right now — how long it takes to get to that ending might expand, but we now know the shape of the end of the story,” Josh said. “We’re going to take it as long as we can, for sure.”
