Outer Banks Season 4 Story Details
The Pogues Hunt For Blackbeard's Treasure
By all indications, Outer Banks season 4 will see the Pogues on the hunt for the famed pirate’s treasure.
There isn't any Outer Banks season 4 news regarding the plot, but interviews with the creators and speculation based on the events of season 3 can give a strong impression of what's coming. The biggest clues for what to expect in season 4 come from the season 3 finale epilogue, set 18 months later. The closing moments of season 3’s final episode saw a man approaching the Pogues with a promising proposition. He has a captain's log from 1718 that contains information about the pirate Edward Teach, a.k.a. Blackbeard. By all indications, Outer Banks season 4 will see the Pogues on the hunt for the famed pirate’s treasure.
The Outer Banks season 3 epilogue also saw the main characters busy with their own pursuits. John B and Sarah are running a surf shop, Pope is at school, Kiara is saving turtles, and JJ bought a charter boat. The Outer Banks season 4 story will flesh out these developments and feature flashbacks to fill in the gaps from the last 18 months, as showrunners Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke confirmed. When asked whether Outer Banks season 4 will be the show’s last, the showrunners revealed (via EW) that they are no longer adhering to their initial plan of having the series run for only four or five seasons.
