Outer Banks season 4 part 2: Release date, plot, trailer and latest news

Announcing the news, co-creators Shannon Burke, Josh Pate and Jonas Pate said in a joint statement: "Seven years ago, in the summer of 2017, we came across a photo of teenagers on a beach at dusk during a power outage. That photo sparked an idea for a story of four best friends who only want to have a good time all the time.

"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 continued: "The fourth season was our longest and hardest – but most rewarding – to produce. The season ends with a feature length episode, which we think is our best, most powerful episode. We hope you feel the same way.

"Now, with a little sadness, but also excitement, we're putting season 4 behind us, and are turning to season 5, in which we hope to bring our beloved Pogues home in the way we imagined and planned years ago.

"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."

But for now, read on for everything you need to know about season 4, which has been split into two parts on Netflix.

Outer Banks season 4 plot

The epic season 4 part 1 finale saw Rudy Pankow's JJ discover that he's not the son of his alcoholic father, Luke (Gary Weeks), and that his birth parents are actually the late Larissa Genrette and Chandler Groff (J. Anthony Crane), making him a Kook.

Talking about how this affects JJ in season 4 part 2, Pankow recently told The Hollywood Reporter: “It plays out in a series of outbursts. I think it’s an identity crisis in part 2.”

He continued: “Like, who am I? Where do I stand? What kind of person am I now? Are my friends gonna judge me? And who do I look up to now? I think that’s how it’s going to play out.”

The official synopsis is as follows:

"Following last season’s 18-month flash-forward showing Wes Genrette's proposal for the Pogues to find Blackbeard's treasure, season 4 takes us back in time to the lead-up of that moment.

"After finding the gold at El Dorado, the Pogues return to the OBX and commit to having a 'normal' life. They've built themselves a new safe haven, officially dubbed 'Poguelandia 2.0', where they live together and run a fairly successful bait, tackle, and charter tour shop.

"But after some financial setbacks, John B, Sarah, Kiara, JJ, Pope, and Cleo take Wes up on his offer, drawn back into the 'G' game for a whole new adventure.

"And before they know it, they're well in over their heads, with dangerous new enemies hot on their heels racing them to the treasure.

"Meanwhile, their problems are only growing, and they're forced to question their past, present, and future — who they really are, has it all been worth it, and how much are they willing to risk?"

The episode titles are as follows:

• Episode 1 - The Enduro
• Episode 2 - Blackbeard
• Episode 3 - The Lupine Corsairs
• Episode 4 - The Swell
• Episode 5 - Albatross
• Episode 6 - The Town Council
• Episode 7 - Mothers and Fathers
• Episode 8 - Decision Day
• Episode 9 - The Storm
• Episode 10 - The Blue Crown

"There's all this action and adventure, but it's really about the bond between the friends," co-creator Shannon Burke previously teased to Netflix's TUDUM.

Teasing season 4's "powerful" finale, co-creators Jonas Pate, Josh Pate and Shannon Burke revealed in a letter to fans, which also revealed the show's renewal for fifth and final season: “The fourth season was our longest and hardest – but most rewarding – to produce.

“The season ends with a feature-length episode, which we think is our best, most powerful episode. We hope you feel the same way.”

Outer Banks season 4 trailer

Outer Banks fans will know that the season 4 part 1 finale ended on a huge cliffhanger as JJ (Rudy Pankow) discovered a bombshell about his real parents, while Sarah (Madelyn Cline) and Pope (Jonathan Daviss) were stuck in an underground water tunnel with rapidly rising water levels.

But the stakes are upped even further in part 2, as the latest trailer demonstrates.

The clip kicks off John B (Chase Stokes) saying: "Home... All of us, we made it home", before he continues: "The question is... what would we risk to protect it?"

We then see the gang on a treacherous boat journey to Morocco, where they’re heading in search of Blackbeard’s Blue Crown, and we also see glimpses of Sarah wielding a gun, a fight between John B and Rafe.

There’s also trouble on the horizon for Sarah in the clip, as John B tells Sarah: “We’re gonna figure this out, we always do”.
