Netflix has confirmed that "Outer Banks" will end with its fifth season, arriving on 20 August 2026. The teen adventure series, which launched in 2020, will wrap up its story of the Pogues' treasure hunts and rivalry with the wealthy Kooks after four seasons, with the finale expected to resolve the group's search for Blackbeard's Blue Crown and their conflict with villain Chandler Groff.

The 10-episode final season picks up shortly after the Season 4 finale, with no major time jump, and sees the core cast — Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss and Carlacia Grant — returning alongside Drew Starkey's Rafe. Key threads include the Pogues seeking revenge for JJ's murder by Groff (revealed to be his biological father), speculation that the Blue Crown could resurrect JJ, Sarah's unresolved pregnancy, an uneasy truce with Rafe, and mercenary Dalia's pursuit of the crown, with footage showing the group on the run across Portugal and Croatia.
