Netflix Sets Release Date for Outer Banks in 2026: Major Details Unveiled thus Far
In an exciting announcement made just three days before the premiere of season 4 part 2, Netflix confirmed that Outer Banks will return for a fifth and final season. The popular show, which debuted on Netflix in April 2020, has been a hit among the YA crowd and adults alike, offering action, mystery, romance, adventure, and drama.
The renewal announcement came two days after the second annual Poguelandia event in Santa Monica, California, and was shared with a new photo of all six Pogues. Filming for the final season began in June 2025, and while the exact release date has not yet been announced, Netflix has confirmed that we can expect to see the final chapter of the series sometime in 2026.
The showrunners, Josh and Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke, penned the announcement, which included a distressed letter, designed to look like it came from a typewriter. In the letter, they mentioned that the story of the four best friends who only want to have a good time all the time sparked an idea for a five-season journey.
The final season will see the continuation of the Blue Crown treasure hunt and deal with the aftermath of JJ's death. The main cast is returning, and some recurring characters have been promoted to series regulars. The show centres around the rivalry between the upper-class "Kooks" and the working-class "Pogues" in Outer Banks, North Carolina.
Outer Banks season 4 part 1 has major spoilers, and fans can expect significant plot developments in the final season. While the exact release date for season 5 has not been announced, fans can rest assured that they will get to see the conclusion of the series sometime in 2026.
