What To Expect
The podcast drops the same day the 10-episode final season hits Netflix, designed as the ultimate companion piece for fans binging the crew’s last ride.

A Massive Farewell Month
The podcast is just one piece of a bigger send-off.Netflix is also hosting “Pogues For Life: A Fan Farewell Event” in Los Angeles on August 15, featuring the inaugural fan-voted “Pogue Awards,” a live cast Q&A, and an advance screening of the Season 5 premiere, livestreamed globally on Tudum.com.
What’s Coming In The Final Season
The stakes couldn’t be higher heading into the finish line. Following the tragic loss of JJ in Morocco, the crew is stranded far from home, having lost the Blue Crown and facing a gauntlet of familiar threats — with Chandler Groff still at large, Dalia and the Corsairs closing in, and the Kooks ensuring the Pogues have no home to return to.
Outer Banks has built its massive fanbase on treasure-hunting adventure in the tradition of classic adventure fiction, and this farewell season promises to deliver one last high-stakes hunt before the credits roll for good.
