Read this before you watch Outer Banks season 4
If you're after some escapism, look no further than Outer Banks on Netflix. The series follows a group of friends - the Pogues - as they attempt to find some treasure hidden on a desert island, while uncovering the mystery surrounding the disappearance of John B.'s father.
And while parts of their story feel idyllic at first (well, the sunshine, mainly), season three watched the gang struggle with money issues and finding people they can trust, all while being hunted by a ruthless Caribbean Don.
Thankfully, they survived! Which is good news for season four, which sees the Outer Banks gang on a brand new adventure. So, here's everything we know about the fourth season of Outer Banks.

Outer Banks season 4 plot
In a very vague teaser, Netflix said of season four: "The treasure hunt is far from over. The Pogues are returning for more action and adventure with a fourth season of Outer Banks in 2024. While one chapter of the Pogues’ story has closed, the next phase of #P4L has only just begun, and the hunt for Blackbeard’s gold is on the horizon. Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming fourth season." Intriguing.
Speaking with Variety, Madelyn Cline, who plays Sarah Cameron, opened up about how her character has evolved over the years. "We’ve seen her truly grow up a lot. She’s gone from a teenager who doesn’t have much of a care in the world or responsibilities to having the weight of so many things on her shoulders.
"[For season three], we continue to piggyback on that with a few wrenches thrown into the mix. She found this voice and she’s learning how to make decisions for herself."
Carlacia Grant, who plays Cleo, added to Cosmopolitan US, "I have some theories. I don't want to ruin them, but I would love to see Cleo's backstory. Like if a person came back from Cleo's past to really explain some of her mannerisms. It's Outer Banks. Her mom died, her dad left, but any of these people could appear somehow."
Meanwhile, Chase Stokes told Cosmopolitan UK about the advice he would give his character John B. "One of the things about being 32 now is you read the script and you’re like, 'Why are you not thinking about this decision?'" he said.
"It’s really hard to relate to at times. And I think that’s why these guys get a little bit irritated at work with me, because I ask so many questions to understand and justify some of these actions. I would love to sit John B.’s ass down and shake him into some sense."
