The treasure hunt continues as Outer Banks (popularly known as OBX) returns with its fourth season, set to captivate fans once again with the Pogues on a brand new adventure. With two parts releasing in Fall 2024, this season promises to raise the stakes even higher for John B, Sarah, JJ, and the rest of the crew as they embark on their wildest adventure yet. Here’s a look at what’s in store for the Pogues, what new faces to expect, and how the production of Season 4 is shaping up.
The plot of OBX S4:
After the intense events of Season 3, where the Pogues found El Dorado’s gold and lost both Ward and Big John, Outer Banks Season 4 will shift gears, focusing on a new treasure hunt: Blackbeard’s gold. In a flash-forward from last season’s finale, Wes Genrette (David Jensen) proposed a new adventure to find this infamous pirate’s treasure, which is set to drive the storyline this season.
Season 4 begins with the Pogues trying to return to “normal” life in the Outer Banks after their gold adventure. They’ve created a haven—“Poguelandia 2.0”—and are running a bait, tackle, and tour shop. But financial struggles and the lure of another treasure hunt draw them back into danger. With new enemies, growing personal challenges, and dangerous missions, they must ask themselves: Is this worth the risk?
Release date and season structure
Season 4 of Outer Banks is divided into two parts, each consisting of five episodes. Part 1 will drop on October 10, 2024, while Part 2 will follow on November 7, 2024. Fans can look forward to back-to-back excitement this fall as the Pogues’ story reaches new levels of adventure.
Who’s back? The Pogues and new characters
It wouldn’t be Outer Banks without its iconic cast of Pogues. Chase Stokes returns as John B., Madelyn Cline as Sarah, Rudy Pankow as JJ, Madison Bailey as Kiara, Jonathan Daviss as Pope, and Carlacia Grant as Cleo. New dynamics between the group and returning villains like Topper (Austin North) and Rafe (Drew Starkey) will keep the tension high.
Season 4 of Outer Banks introduces several intriguing new characters who are set to stir up the drama. J. Anthony Crane portrays Chandler Groff, a grief-stricken man who becomes an unexpected ally to the Pogues. Pollyanna McIntosh steps in as Dalia, a revolutionary figure who challenges the group’s quest. Brianna Brown plays Hollis Robinson, a successful realtor with connections to Rafe, adding tension to the plot. Meanwhile, Rigo Sanchez takes on the role of Lightner, a dangerous and calculating outdoorsman who becomes a significant threat to the Pogues. Lastly, Mia Challis joins the cast as Ruthie, a wild child with a toxic streak, who strikes up a close friendship with Topper. These new characters are poised to add more layers of complexity and conflict to the already gripping storyline.
