The Pogues are critical to the success of Outer Banks, and it seems as if the upcoming storyline in season 4 will right the wrongs of past seasons regarding how they handled the group of friends. The Netflix action-adventure mystery teen drama series, created by Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke, premiered in 2020. It was an immediate hit among audiences, partly thanks to the main characters (the Pogues) and their dynamics. Of course, the treasure-hunting aspect of the television show is intriguing, but the characters and their relationships are undoubtedly what makes the series succeed.
The cast of Outer Banks season 4 includes Chase Stokes as John B. Routledge, Madelyn Cline as Sarah Cameron, Madison Bailey as Kiara Carrera, Jonathan Daviss as Pope Heyward, Rudy Pankow as JJ Maybank, and Carlacia Grant as Cleo. As viewers recall, the season 3 finale ended with a time jump of 18 months to John B., Sarah, Kiara, Pope, JJ, and Cleo being honored for finding El Dorado. During the event, a mysterious man approached the Pogue friend group with a proposition to find Captain Blackbeard’s treasure, which they readily agreed to.
Blackbeard’s Treasure Hunt Will Finally Keep All The Pogues In The Outer Banks For Season 4
The hunt to find Captain Blackbeard’s treasure will drive the story in Outer Banks season 4, and the search will keep the Pogues in North Carolina in the upcoming episodes. Unlike the past two seasons, John B., Sarah, Kiara, Pope, and JJ will finally be settled in their hometown. Season 2 featured John B. and Sarah trying to find their way back to the Outer Banks after their boat capsized in the season 1 finale, and the final two episodes primarily took place on the Coastal Venture. Meanwhile, the Pogues spend most of season 3 away from their home.
One of the most common criticisms of Outer Banks seasons 2 and 3 is that the Pogues spent too much time away from the town that the Netflix series is named after. However, Blackbeard’s treasure is rumored to be hidden on the island of Ocracoke in the Outer Banks. Consequentially, season 4 will likely keep John B. Sarah, Kiara, Pope, JJ, and the newest Pogue, Cleo, local to the Outer Banks as they strive to find the sunken treasure.
Outer Banks Season 3’s 6 Biggest Unanswered Questions
Outer Banks season 3 explains a lot of show mysteries – but creates more unanswered questions for the future of the show as it does so.
Why Outer Banks Season 4 Must Return To Its Season 1 Premise
The Netflix teen drama series hasn’t been the same since its first season when it was in its prime. Of course, seasons 2 and 3 contained intriguing storylines as they pulled the Pogues away from their home, but something was missing from the episodes — the show’s central location. The farther John B., Sarah, Kiara, Pope, and JJ ventured away from the Outer Banks, the more ridiculous the plot got. Consequentially, Outer Banks‘s return to the North Carolina coast is crucial for season 4’s success, especially because the writers should honor the show’s original premise if it’s the last season.
