The Pogues Go To Jail In The Outer Banks Final Season Trailer

The adventure is coming to an end, Pogues. Outer Banks showrunners Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke made a bittersweet announcement in the middle of the show’s fourth season. Yes, the beloved series is returning for a fifth season — but sadly, that is going to be the end of the road. And now we have a first look at this wild adventure’s epic conclusion.

Pate, Pate, and Burke reminisced on how far Outer Banks had come in an emotional note back in November 2024. “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,” they wrote. “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.”

The message ended with the revelation that Season 5 will be the show’s final season.

“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,” they wrote. “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.”

With the Pogues’ last hurrah on the horizon, here’s what fans can expect from Season 5.

1 Main Cast Member Is Gone

The Season 4 finale concluded with a massive shocker, with JJ being killed by his own father. It’s highly unlikely the character will appear in the final season aside from possible flashbacks or memories.

The First Trailer Is Explosive

After a two-year wait, Outer Banks finally gave fans a first look at Season 5 with a brief teaser. The video confirmed the driving force of the season will be the Pogues getting revenge on Chandler Groff after he killed JJ and stole the Blue Crown. The standout scenes show that the Pogues (plus Rafe) will be locked up in jail at some point, and Clea will blow up John B’s beloved van, the Twinkie.

The Premiere Date Is So Close

The teaser also revealed Season 5’s premiere date for the first time, confirming the last treasure hunt will kick off Aug. 20 on Netflix.
