The search for the treasure persists as Outer Banks has been renewed for a fourth season. This exciting news came just a few days before the release of new episodes on Netflix, and fans can expect the adventure to escalate further.
Ahead of the premiere of season 3 in February 2023, the cast revealed that there would be additional episodes during a fan event, adding to the anticipation and excitement surrounding the show.
Madison Bailey, who plays Kiara in Outer Banks, shared her excitement on Instagram about the Poguelandia concert in Los Angeles on February 18. She expressed her joy by stating, "@netflix can we do this every day? Best day ever. Annnd did ya hear? We're renewed! SEASON 4 IS HAPPENING ‼️ #wediditjoe #PL," alongside several photos of the Outer Banks crew.
Similarly, Madelyn Cline, who portrays Sarah, took to Instagram to reflect on her journey with the popular Netflix series. She expressed her gratitude towards Netflix, the cast and crew, and the fans who have watched and loved Outer Banks. Madelyn also thanked everyone who attended the Poguelandia event, saying, "Thank you thank you thank you a million times thank you ️ #obx4." The actress described the previous day as incredibly special and mentioned that words couldn't even begin to describe her feelings.
“The Pogues are embarking on an extraordinary journey, and we have exciting plans to unravel even more surprises in season four of Outer Banks,” revealed creators Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke in a statement released in February 2023. They expressed their gratitude to Netflix, the talented cast, and the incredible fans for their continued support in bringing this vision to life.
The stakes have never been higher after the search for the gold and the Cross of Santo Domingo, according to Bailey.
"Season 1 revolved around a classic treasure hunt, with the allure of gold and the enigmatic 'X' marking the location. In Season 2, the significance of the Cross took on a deeper meaning for Pope's family," shared the resident of North Carolina. "Now, in Season 3, we delve into the origins of both the gold and the Cross. They didn't just materialize out of thin air; they have a history. This treasure hunt involves a larger group of individuals, making it a grander and more complex undertaking. We may be in over our heads, but we're determined to fight for what we believe in."
In February 2023, Showrunner Pate revealed that the storylines in Outer Banks were influenced by real-life events.
“Filming in Barbados during season 2 allowed us to encounter fascinating individuals and hear captivating stories, which ultimately influenced the mythology of our adventure narrative this season,” he explained. “This particular storyline delves into a period of history predating the Antebellum era, specifically linked to the mythology surrounding the Royal Merchant Gold. Additionally, it delves into the cultures of South America, drawing inspiration from our experiences in Barbados, as well as the wider Caribbean and the West Indies. The new antagonist and the culture we delve into are situated in this region, representing an older, yet significant, chapter of history that we have artfully incorporated into our narrative.”

The hunt for the treasure continues! Outer Banks received a season 4 renewal days before new episodes debuted on Netflix — and the adventure is just getting started.

In a February 2023 statement, the showrunners expressed their excitement for season four of Outer Banks, stating that the Pogues are embarking on an extraordinary adventure. They extended their gratitude to Netflix, the cast, and the dedicated fans for their contribution to the success of the show.
During that time, the cast and crew of Outer Banks delved into how the events of previous seasons would shape the future storyline. Jonathan Daviss, who portrays Pope, revealed to Entertainment Weekly that this season would shed light on the significance of the gold and the reasons behind Big John's disappearance. As the season progresses, viewers will find answers to lingering questions and realize the daunting challenges the Pogues have faced. They are mere minnows in a vast ocean, and survival necessitates their ability to adapt and avoid being devoured by the sharks that lurk around them.
Bailey emphasizes that the stakes have reached unprecedented levels following the pursuit of both the gold and the Cross of Santo Domingo. Reflecting on the previous seasons, he describes the first as a traditional treasure hunt, with gold serving as the ultimate prize, while the second season delved into the profound significance of the Cross to Pope's family.

Despite feeling overwhelmed, Bailey asserts their determination to persevere and confront whatever obstacles lie ahead.
The show's creator, Pate, shared in February 2023 that the storylines in Outer Banks drew inspiration from real-life events. During the filming of season 2 in Barbados, they were exposed to various ideas and stories from the people they met, which then intertwined with the show's mythology for the current adventure. This season delves into a period of history preceding the Antebellum era, specifically connected to the mythology surrounding the Royal Merchant Gold, and incorporates elements from different cultures in South America. The inspiration came from their time in Barbados, where they learned about the local culture, as well as the broader Caribbean and West Indies regions. The new antagonist and the cultural exploration in the show are rooted in this part of the world, representing a slightly older chapter in history that has been reimagined.
