Netflix has its share of icons: brooding royals, cursed timelines, and chaotic con artists. But none surfed into pop culture quite like the Pogues of Outer Banks. Equal parts treasure hunters and teenage hurricanes, they made summer feel like a high-stakes sport. With sun in their hair and secrets in their pockets, they chased gold and, often, each other. Now, the cameras roll once more, and the final ride is ready to leave the shore.

As the waves rise one final time, the Pogues are gearing up to make sure their last ride is anything but smooth sailing.

The Pogues are clocking in for their last on-screen shift, and emotions are already doing cartwheels. Filming for season 5 has officially begun in Charleston, South Carolina, the show's long-standing coastal stage. Series creators Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke told Tudum the return was both “bittersweet and surreal.” Expect treasure maps, emotional whiplash, and a final ride that, in their words, is set to be “a wild ride.” Sunscreen and tissues, please.

It is not just about treasure anymore; it is about legacy. JJ’s death looms like storm clouds over the finale, pushing the Pogues into more emotional territory. As they chase the elusive Blue Crown, Rafe’s surprising pivot to possible ally status shakes things up. Sheriff Shoupe and Chandler Groff are leveling up, too, turning familiar threats into unpredictable players. Justice, revenge, or both? Whatever it is, it is going to be sandy and savage.

While the Pogues gear up for one final storm, Netflix is already lining up new crews ready to surf the same waves of drama, danger, and teen-fueled chaos.

Outer Banks leaves a Pogue-shaped hole in your heart; do not cancel your Netflix just yet. The streamer’s teen drama vault is bursting with wild rides, sunlit secrets, and enough chaos to fuel your next binge. From surfing rebellion in Surviving Summer to elite lies in Blood & Water and the adult-free anarchy of The Society, these series capture the thrill, tension, and beach-adjacent mystery that made Outer Banks a fan obsession. Sunburns are optional.

Surviving Summer brings Aussie energy and surfboard stunts, while Blood & Water dives into deception, family secrets, and South African glamour. And The Society is Lord of the Flies meets high school cliques, where the biggest villain might just be group projects. These shows might not have the Pogues, but they know a thing or two about power struggles, loyalty tests, and cliffhangers that slap harder than a rogue wave. Consider them your beachy Plan B.
