The second half of season four of Outer Banks debuted on Netflix yesterday. It’s already been announced that the drama’s fifth and final season are coming next year, but the series creators are already looking beyond the current series.
Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Rudy Pankow, Austin North, Charles Esten, and Drew Starkey star in the series which follows a small North Carolina town where the residents are divided into the wealthy seasonal residents and the poor locals that live there year-round.
According to Deadline, the Outer Banks creators, Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke, are planning spin-offs of the popular series. In an interview, the trio said that they are excited for season five, and are also excited to tell other stories from the Outer Banks universe in the future. They declined to offer specifics.
The streaming service has not confirmed plans for spin-off, but Netflix has been firmly behind this series and has expanded the series with a recently released video game and live music events. There’s also licensing deals for merchandise with brands as PacSun, Lottie London, and Byrd.
The premiere date for season five of Outer Banks will be announced later.
