Pogues for life! Or at least through Season Five, because Outer Banks creators Shannon Burke, Josh Pate and Jonas Pate shared that the show is coming back, but for a fifth and final season.
In a letter addressed to "all Pogues," they wrote, "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."
They continued, "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."
The trio concluded, "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."
Outer Banks, Season Four, debuted last month, and the last few episodes of the season will drop on Netflix on November 7th.
