Meet the cast of Outer Banks on Netflix

And if you're worried about this being the last instalment, have no fear. It was announced just this week that Outer Banks will be returning for season 5 – set to be the final hurrah for the hit series.

The final fifth season will complete the story originally envisioned by co-creators Shannon Burke, Josh Pate and Jonas Pate, who all said in a joint statement: "From this beginning, we imagined a mystery that would lead to a five-season journey of adventure, treasure hunting, and friendship.

"At the time, seven years ago, 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."

They added: "Season 5 will be our last season, and we think it will be our best yet. We hope you'll join us for one more paddle out to the surf break."

It wouldn't quite be a season of Outer Banks without its leading stars now, would it? So, fans will undoubtedly be pleased to hear that main stars Madelyn Cline and Chase Stokes reprise their roles as John B and Sarah Cameron. Of course, they're joined by the rest of the Pogues, as well as their adversaries the Kooks.
