Outer Banks returns to the 2024 TV Schedule for Part 2 of Season 4 on November 7th, and thankfully, this won't be our last treasure hunt with the Pogues. While fans like myself were initially worried that this season would be the last after Chase Stokes shared a sappy caption and some BTS photos back in May, we don’t have to worry about saying goodbye to the gang just yet. However, as excited as I am that the hit Netflix teen drama series will be returning for a fifth and final season, I can’t help but worry about what the renewal means for the upcoming Season 4 finale.

The OBX Instagram broke the news about the renewal yesterday with a typed note from the show’s creators. This was followed shortly after by another sappy Stokes’ Instagram post, where he reflected on the life-changing experience and how excited he is to get to be John B. one last time.

He ended the caption with a heartwarming message: It’s always gonna be Pogues 4 Life.-JBR Naturally, fans of the series flooded the comments to celebrate the early renewal. While I admit I was also excited about the news, when the high wore off, panic started to creep in.

After all, a new season of Outer Banks probably means that the Pogues are going to face even more obstacles in the final episodes of Season 4. And you know what that means: we'll almost definitely end on a massive cliffhanger that's reminiscent of the time the crew got stranded on an island. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited that we’re going to go.
