AceShowbiz - The Pogues are set for one last escapade. Netflix has announced that the popular young adult series, "Outer Banks", will return for a fifth and final season.

In an emotionally charged "Dispatch to all Pogues," "Outer Banks" co-creators and executive producers Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke revealed their decision to conclude the series after five seasons.

Inspired by a photo taken in the summer of 2017 of teenagers on a beach at dusk, the creators envisioned a five-season journey full of mystery, adventure, and friendship. This vision, which seemed almost impossible seven years ago, is now delightfully and sadly coming to fruition.

Season 4, which concluded with a feature-length finale, was touted as the "longest and hardest - but most rewarding - to produce." The trio of creators are already bustling with excitement as they write for the final season. "Season Five will be our last season, and we think it will be our best yet," they stated.

"Outer Banks" has proven to be a major hit for Netflix. Part 1 of Season 4 topped the global top 10 English TV list following its release on October 10, maintaining its place for three weeks and extending into the top 10 in 74 countries. Since its debut in April 2020, the show has captured the hearts of fans worldwide, spending a cumulative 27 weeks in the global Top 10 English TV list.

To cater to the series' massive fanbase, Netflix has expanded the universe of "Outer Banks" beyond the TV screen. The second edition of the live music event Poguelandia was recently hosted in Santa Monica, attracting 2,500 fans who enjoyed performances by Jungle, GloRilla, Remi Wolf, and Chase B. Additionally, the cast embarked on a "Pogue Tour" across multiple countries to promote Season 4.

The story continues through interactive means as well. Netflix released the mobile game "Netflix Stories: Outer Banks," where fans can dive back into the narrative and make choices that shape their own journey within the world of the Pogues.

Season 4 sees the Pogues being reluctantly drawn back into the treasure hunt game, this time seeking Blackbeard's treasure. Perilous adventures await John B, Sarah, Kiara, JJ, Pope, and Cleo as they face both old and new enemies, and grapple with personal revelations, particularly the shocking truth about JJ's ancestry.

The cast for Season 4 includes returning favorites Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Rudy Pankow, Carlacia Grant, and more. The creators have expressed hope that fans will join them for one final ride, promising an unforgettable conclusion that stays true to the series' spirit.

With anticipation building for the series' grand finale, the fandom is sure to be on edge as they wait to see how this epic tale of adventure, friendship, and treasure hunting will come to a close.
