\n\tOuter Banks<\/a> star Chase Stokes<\/a> said he and his fellow co-stars are looking forward to ending the breakout YA Netflix<\/a> action-adventure series on a high note.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe treasure-hunting show, which debuted in the wee days of the pandemic and quickly exploded on the streamer, will return for a fifth and final season, slated for release in 2026. Stokes recalled in a recent interview with People<\/a> that he watched Outer Banks transition from a \u201clittle tiny boat show \u2026 to a global phenomenon\u201d (complete with fan event Poguelandia, an immersive festival held two years in a row). He added that he and the cast are \u201cthankful for the run, and we\u2019re ready for it to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actor continued, \u201cWe want the story to end on the right note versus [turning] four seasons into Season 9 and we\u2019re going after aliens or something. We want to cut the chord before we lose the plot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlongside cast members Jonathan Daviss, Madelyn Cline, Drew Starkey, Madison Bailey and Carlacia Grant, Stokes wrapped production on the series last week<\/a>. He credited co-creator Jonas Pate for sticking to his original vision for the show\u2019s conclusion.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s beautiful to know that even though there\u2019s the highs and lows throughout all of the seasons, it\u2019s ending exactly how I was told when I started the show,\u201d Stokes said.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeason 4 of Outer Banks \u2014 set in the fictional Carolinian barrier island town Kildare, and featuring the ongoing feud between the inordinately wealthy Kooks and community-oriented working-class Pogues \u2014 closed with the shocking murder of JJ (Rudy Pankow) at the hands of his father<\/a>. Leading up to Season 5, the Pogues have their sights set on revenge, with some room for \u201cunderstanding and forgiveness\u201d as the creators previously teased to Deadline that all storylines would be \u201cwrapped up.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Stokes is looking ahead to his directorial debut<\/a>, the OBX crew has its eyes on expanding the universe with potential series spinoffs<\/a>.<\/p>\n
