Outer Banks is an American action-adventure mystery teen drama television series created by Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke that premiered on Netflix on April 15, 2020.[4][5] The series is set in a community in the Outer Banks of North Carolina and follows the conflict between two groups of teenagers in search of a lost treasure.

Premise[edit]

Outer Banks is set in a coastal town along the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where there is a stark social divide between wealthy seasonal residents and working-class locals, nicknamed the "Kooks" and "Pogues", respectively. The show follows a group of Pogue teenagers who live at The Cut and are determined to find out what happened to the missing father of the group's ringleader, John B. Along the way, they discover a legendary treasure that is tied to John B's father.[4]

John B, Kiara, Pope, and JJ are a group of friends (the "Pogues") who live on Kildare Island. John B's scheduled move to a foster home is postponed due to a hurricane. After the hurricane, the Pogues find a key to a motel room onboard a sunken ship in the marsh. The room safe has an envelope, a gun, and a large amount of cash.

In the aftermath of the party, Topper tells Sarah he is pressing charges against John B and asks her to testify against him, to which Sarah is conflicted as she loves John B, but is fearful that he doesn’t love her anymore. Ward returns to Outer Banks, concerned about Rafe’s self-assurance with his dad not around. Kiara’s parents express concerns about her safety around the Pogues, especially JJ - whom her father has never trusted. They suggest a wilderness re-education camp to which Kiara is opposed to. JJ signs him & a reluctant John B up for a minor drugs smuggling operation in exchange for a flight to South America, but John B is ultimately arrested.

Rafe asserts his dominance over his father, but Barry tells him Ward will always be a problem and that the only solution is for him to be killed. Sarah goes to Ward for help getting to South America and he allows her to use his jet, desperate to make amends with her. She also convinces Topper to delay the assault trial by a day. John B is released and he reconciles with Sarah. The group hangs out at John B’s house. Topper drives by and, after seeing John B and Sarah getting intimate, he sets the place alight.

The next morning, after barely making it out John B's burned house, the Pogues convene at the airfield, ready to board the jet. However, Kiara is cornered at her house by staff members from Kitty Hawk, a wilderness behavioral reformation camp for troubled teens her parents signed her up for and is taken away. Time is running out for the Pogues as the police, having been tipped off to John B’s location by Topper, are closing in. JJ rushes to Kiara’s house to find her and her parents tell him they sent her to Kitty Hawk. JJ sets off to rescue her while the others anxiously wait at the airfield.

Meanwhile, Rafe has followed Barry’s advice and decided Ward needs to be killed so he can start his own Cameron legacy at OBX. He asks Barry to carry out the act, but Barry contracts a hitman so the murder can’t be traced. Soon after however, Rafe has a change of heart and tells Barry not to go ahead with the hit, but is horrified to learn Barry has already paid off the hitman. Ward is attacked and his leg injured but Rafe saves him. A passer-by recognises the fugitive Ward, so him and Rafe flee on Rafe’s bike to the airfield. The gang there is shocked to see them and tensions increase when Rafe claims they have to leave before the police arrive and arrest both Ward and John B. With no time left, the group boards the plane, minus Rafe, who Ward makes amends with and gives his blessing to take control of the Cameron businesses at OBX.

Back at Kitty Hawk, JJ secretly communicates with Kiera and discovers the cabin she is in. The two reunite and JJ apologises for their previous argument. They confess their love for each other and kiss before making their escape, heading to South America aboard Barracuda Mike’s plane.

Everyone arrives in Orinoco, South America. JJ & Kiera bump into Pope and Cleo, running from Singh’s men. Sarah and John B overhear Big John shouting nearby and attempt to rescue him, before he escapes himself and the trio run away. They find Jose, a river guide who will take them to the dig site of El Durado, but tempers flare when Ward invites himself along. The four head up river to the dig site. John B, his father and Sarah begin the climb. Meanwhile, the others have found their own boat and are making their way to the site too - but discover that Singh knows where John B and Sarah are and that they are in danger.

Finally, the trio make it to the site and successfully solve the riddle. Suddenly, Singh corners them and threatens to shoot John B unless Big John reveals the riddle. When Big John seems to hesitate, Sarah rushes forward and tackles the gun away. The three, plus Ward, escape. Sarah is furious to learn her father betrayed them by telling Singh their location and she threatens to shoot him if he doesn’t stay away. Shocked, Ward leaves and the others press on. They ultimately find the cave entrance where El Durado is but John B notices his father got shot badly during the scuffle.

The cave leads to a pool of water, that Sarah realizes is deeper than previously thought. The entrance to El Durado is underwater. Big John isn’t able to fit through so he instructs John B and Sarah to find it and tells them the final part of the riddle. Meanwhile, Singh is tracking them from Big John’s blood and closing in fast. John B and Sarah discover El Durado and collect a piece of the gold before returning to Big John. However, they are met by Singh, who threatens them both for the gold. Big John emerges and threatens to blow up the entrance to El Durado with a stick of dynamite. Singh claims he’s bluffing but Big John throws the stick and the cave explodes. Singh is killed but John B, Sarah and Big John get out. Suddenly, Ward holds them all at gunpoint. The rest of the Pogues rush to their aid, wielding machetes. However, one of Singh’s men swears vengeance for his fallen friends and moves to shoot Sarah. Ward pushes him off the side of the hill with him, killing them both. Big John suddenly collapses from blood loss and the group hurry him back to the boat and head towards OBX. He doesn't make it and passes away.

18 months later, the group are being commended for uncovering the location of El Durado. Suddenly, a mysterious man approaches the group with an offer to uncover the sunken treasure of Edward Teach, more commonly known as Captain Blackbeard. They happily agree.

Anthony Crane, Brianna Brown, Rigo Sanchez, and Mia Challis were cast in recurring roles for the series' fourth season.[17]

Filming[edit]

Co-creator Jonas Pate envisioned filming in Wilmington, North Carolina, but Netflix opted not to film the show there because of the state's House Bill 2 legislation.[18] Principal photography for the first season began on May 1, 2019, in Charleston, South Carolina including James Island, Johns Island, Kiawah Island, Morris Island Lighthouse (interior), and Hunting Island Lighthouse (exterior).[19][20] Filming for the second season began on August 31, 2020, and concluded on April 2, 2021.[21][22][23][24] Filming for the third season began on February 15, 2022 and concluded on September 17, 2022.[25][26] Filming for the fourth season began on June 17, 2023.[27] Filming locations include greater Wilmington for the first time in the series' history.[28] On the week of July 14, 2023, production was suspended due to the commencement of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.[29] The series later resumed production in North Carolina on November 20, 2023.[30] In February 2024, the series filmed for a month in Morocco, including the cities of Essaouira and Ouarzazate.[31]

Release[edit]

The first season of Outer Banks premiered on April 15, 2020.[5] The second season premiered on July 30, 2021.[32] The third season premiered on February 23, 2023.[7]

The fourth season is set to be released in 2024.[33]

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

Steve Greene of IndieWire gave the series' first season a B− and wrote a review saying, "Some of those later confrontations buckle under the weight of their plot connecting, but when Outer Banks dials its melodrama to its own sweet spot, there's enough fun to keep a story-hungry audience following along the trail."[34] Reviewing the series for The Hollywood Reporter, Daniel Fienberg described the series' first season as "pretty people, pretty cinematography, pretty dumb" and said, "the show is positively littered with characters and plot threads that feel like they might have been relevant or even important in a 13-episode season or a YA novel that offered more breathing room."[35]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds an approval rating of 74% based on 23 reviews, with an average rating of 6.8/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Outer Banks' over-the-top melodrama is balanced out by a strong sense of adventure that's bound to hook those looking to capture that summer feeling."[36] On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 61 out of 100 based on 9 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[37]

The second season has an 86% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 7 reviews, with an average rating of 6.7/10.[38]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the third season holds an approval rating of 56% based on 9 reviews, with an average rating of 4.1/10.[39]

Audience viewership[edit]

For the week of August 2 to 8, 2021, Outer Banks was ranked number one in the Nielsen ratings U.S. streaming chart, who announced that the show had been viewed for a total of 2.1 billion minutes of its 20 episodes.[40] For the following week, the series was ranked number one again in the Nielsen ratings U.S. streaming chart with a total of 1.16 billion total minutes of viewing for the 20 episodes.[41]

Legal matter[edit]

On December 21, 2020, a North Carolina teacher and author named Kevin Wooten filed a lawsuit against Netflix and the creators of Outer Banks, claiming they stole the plot of his novel Pennywise: The Hunt For Blackbeard's Treasure!. Wooten had sought for ongoing royalties and damages payments.[42][43] The lawsuit was ultimately dismissed by federal judge Timothy Batten the following year in favor of the Pate brothers and Burke. In a 25-page opinion, Batten noted that the plots of Wooten's novel and the series shared similarities with respect to the themes of shipwrecks and finding buried treasure but opined that the substantial differences in other aspects, such as the plot and characterization, meant that analyzing the plots of both works "at such a high level of abstraction would render every work involving a hunt for treasure susceptible to copyright infringement."[44][45]
