"Outer Banks" fans recently got their first look at the soon-to-come fourth season of the Netflix teen drama, with the official teaser trailer debuting on Thursday, August 29.
Before the first batch of the new episodes hit the streamer on Thursday, October 10 — like fellow hit Netflix series "Emily in Paris," "Stranger Things" and "Bridgerton," the show is adopting a split-release model for season 4, with the final five eps to premiere nearly a month later on Thursday, November 7 — take an early look at what John B (Chase Stokes), Sarah Cameron (Madelyn Cline) and the rest of your favorite treasure hunters will be up to in the new season.
A batch of newly dropped stills from "Outer Banks" season 4 catches us up with the entire beloved Pogues crew, including Madison Bailey as Kiara Carrera, Jonathan Daviss as Pope Heyward, Rudy Pankow as JJ Maybank and Carlacia Grant as Cleo.
The pics also show the return of some of those more well-to-do Kooks, including Austin North as Sarah's ex Topper and Drew Starkey as her brother Rafe. And the snaps also highlight new characters being introduced this season, such as Lightner, played by Rigo Sanchez. Lightner is described as "an imposing stranger with a piratical nerve" and a "dangerous and calculating outdoorsman" who will test the Pogues in the new episodes.
Last we saw the Pogues and Co. was in the show's third season, which dropped all the way back in February 2023. In the season 3 finale, after they had discovered the gold in El Dorado, the show jumped 18 months into the future and saw John B and the rest of the gang receive a proposal from a man named Wes Genrette (David Jensen). He wanted them to track down the treasure of the notorious English pirate known as Blackbeard. Per Tudum, the upcoming fourth season will take viewers back in time to see exactly what led up to that moment.
Season 4 will see the teens attempt to have a normal life after all of their gold-hunting antics, including setting up a new home as well as a bait, tackle and charter tour shop. "But after some financial setbacks, John B, Sarah, Kiara, JJ, Pope, and Cleo take Wes up on his offer, and are drawn back into the 'G; game for a whole new adventure," reads the Netflix synopsis.
"Before they know it, they’re well in over their heads, with dangerous new enemies hot on their heels, racing them to the treasure. Meanwhile, their problems are only growing, and they’re forced to question their past, present, and future — who they really are, has it all been worth it, and how much are they willing to risk?"
Honestly, we'd expect nothing less from these crazy kids!
We'll get to see it all — well, the first five episodes at least — when "Outer Banks" season 4 debuts on Netflix on October 10. Tom's Guide will keep you posted on all updates surrounding the fourth season, including behind-the-scenes tidbits, actor insights, character descriptions, on-set photos and new trailers. In the meantime, you can revisit the first three seasons of the action-adventure teen drama with a Netflix subscription.
