In 2020, Netflix unleashed the hunt for a legendary treasure with the US adventure series Outer Banks: John B (Chase Stokes) went looking for it with his best friends, although the trip was also tied to the disappearance of his father . Now, four years later, Netflix announced the end of the series: Season 5 will conclude it.
Season 5 is coming and then it’s over: Outer Banks ran longer on Netflix than expected
Next Thursday, November 7th, 2024, part 2 of the 4th season of Outer Banks will be released. Once the five new episodes have passed the stage (or the sandy beach), the Netflix series inevitably has to look to the future. In this case, however, this does not mean a deduction, but rather a planned to end with season 5as Deadline announced yesterday.
Outer Banks (OBX for short) not only told of great treasure hunts, but also of the rivalry between the wealthy “Kooks” and the working-class “Pogues” who opposed them, to which John and his crew belonged. This was a concept that also found favor as an adventure series.

The Netflix creators promise one at the end of the 4th season Feature length episodewhich is set to be better than anything seen before. After Royal Merchant Gold, El Dorado and Blackbeard’s Treasure, will Season 5 be able to top this?
How does Outer Banks end and when does season 5 start on Netflix?
Of course, the Outer Banks creatives are still keeping a low profile about the plot of season 5. However, one thing is certain as the series ends. The Netflix series should come full circle as planned:
With some sadness, but also excitement, we leave season 4 behind us and turn to season 5, in which we hope to bring home our beloved Pogues – on the path we envisioned so many years ago. Season 5 will be our last season and definitely our best. We hope you’ll join us one last time as we paddle out into the waves on our surfboard.
Netflix has not yet announced exactly when Outer Banks will return with season 5 (and whether the final season will be split into two parts again). There was usually a year and a half between the previous seasons. So we do the math Early 2026 with the series return.
