Netflix announced that it has renewed Outer Banks for a fifth and final season.

Per Deadline, co-creators/executive producers Jonas Pate, Josh Pate and Shannon Burke said in a statement: “We imagined a mystery that would lead to a five-season journey of adventure, treasure hunting, and friendship. It seemed impossible that we would really get to tell the whole five-season story, but here we are at the end of our fourth season, still chopping away.”

The trio added that Season 4 “was our longest and hardest — but most rewarding — to produce” and that the season ends with a feature-length episode “which we think is our best, most powerful episode. We hope you feel the same way. We hope to bring our beloved Pogues home in the way we imagined and planned years ago .. We hope you’ll join us for one more paddle out to the surf break.”  (read the note in its entirety HERE).

Outer Banks stars Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline as lovers from opposite social castes.  The series also stars Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Rudy Pankow, Carlacia Grant, Drew Starkey, Austin North, Fiona Palomo, J. Anthony Crane, Pollyanna McIntosh, Brianna Brown, Rigo Sanchez, Mia Challis and Cullen Moss.
