Outer Banks Season 5: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
Netflix's thrilling teen drama Outer Banks is gearing up for its fifth and final season. Fans are buzzing with anticipation, eager to see how the Pogues' treasure-hunting saga concludes. From release date speculations to cast updates and plot expectations, here's everything we know so far about Outer Banks Season 5. Outer Banks Season 5 Release Date Rumours While Netflix has not yet confirmed an exact release date for Outer Banks Season 5, multiple sources indicate that the final season is expected to premiere in 2026. Production is slated to begin in Spring 2025, with filming likely running through the end of the year. Given the time required for post-production and localization, fans can expect the season to drop between Spring and Summer 2026, potentially following the split-release model used for Season 4, where episodes were released in two parts. Keep an eye out for a teaser trailer, which is likely to arrive in early 2026, approximately three months before the premiere. Confirmed and Expected Cast for Season 5 The core cast of Outer Banks is expected to return to wrap up the Pogues' story. Confirmed actors include: Chase Stokes as John B. Routledge as John B. Routledge Madelyn Cline as Sarah Cameron as Sarah Cameron Madison Bailey as Kiara Carrera as Kiara Carrera Jonathan Daviss as Pope Heyward as Pope Heyward Carlacia Grant as Cleo as Cleo Drew Starkey as Rafe Cameron as Rafe Cameron Fiona Palomo as Sofia as Sofia Pollyanna McIntosh as Dalia Notably, Rudy Pankow, who played the beloved JJ Maybank, is not expected to return as a regular cast member following his character's shocking death in the Season 4 finale. However, fans are speculating about a potential return through flashbacks or visions, as the show has used these narrative devices before. Some X posts have even claimed a leaked script suggests JJ could be alive, though these remain unverified and should be treated with skepticism. Additionally, J. Anthony Crane as Chandler Groff, JJ's biological father, is expected to return, given his pivotal role in the Season 4 twist and the Pogues' revenge-driven storyline. Other characters, such as Caroline Arapoglou (Rose) and Julia Antonelli (Wheezie), may also reappear to tie up loose ends. What to Expect from Outer Banks Season 5 The final season of Outer Banks promises to deliver high-stakes drama, emotional resolutions, and the conclusion of the Pogues' treasure-hunting journey. Here are some key plot points to anticipate: 1. Avenge JJ's Death The Season 4 finale left fans reeling with JJ's death at the hands of his father, Chandler Groff. Showrunners have teased that Kiara and Cleo will be central to the Season 5 narrative, with Kiara seeking vengeance for her boyfriend's death. This revenge quest could drive the Pogues' pursuit of the Blue Crown, still in Groff's possession. 2. John B. and Sarah's New Chapter With Sarah pregnant, Season 5 will explore how she and John B. navigate impending parenthood. Their relationship will face new challenges as they balance treasure hunting with the responsibilities of starting a family. 3. Rafe's Redemption Arc Rafe Cameron, played by Drew Starkey, has evolved from a frustrating antagonist to a complex character with potential for redemption. His dynamic with the Pogues and his fractured relationship with Sofia will likely play a significant role in the final season. 4. The Blue Crown and Chandler Groff The Pogues' hunt for Blackbeard's treasure, specifically the Blue Crown, remains unresolved. Expect Season 5 to focus on their efforts to reclaim it from Groff, potentially uncovering more about his backstory and his connection to JJ's family.

Review: Rowdy Aberdeen fans celebrate Shane MacGowan as Christmas comes to city on Easter Sunday
The Pogues' annual Christmas concerts at Glasgow's Carling Academy became something of a tradition in my late teens and early 20s. They were, as you might expect, chaotic affairs with seemingly as much lager spilled across the venue as down the necks of those shouting along to every word. While the spectacular, often overlooked musicianship was amazing to experience live, the main appeal for me was always the fascinating frontman. Shane MacGowan may have grumbled his way through those sets, swaying with a large gin and tonic in hand, but you couldn't take your eyes off this living legend. Understandably, many may not see the appeal of this. In fact, it might well be some people's idea of hell. But if you did, it was magic. Shane died at the end of November in 2023, living a life longer than anyone predicted. And last night the latest celebration of this hard-drinking punk poet rolled into Aberdeen, with a show entitled For The Love of Shane MacGowan at The Lemon Tree. A cynic might view an event like this one, billed as a mix of classic songs and fond memories, as a bit of a cash-in… Is it something the cantankerous Irishman really would have wanted? I went along to judge for myself… The last time I saw Scottish singer/songwriter John McLaughlin he was opening for Rod Stewart in a gig that brought down the curtain on the old AECC. Over the past year or so, he has been performing this love letter to his friend and inspiration, backed by a seven-piece band. The singer takes to the stage swigging from a can of Tennents, delivering a speech about how he gravitated to Shane MacGowan as a 'young punk' growing up in Glasgow. He later got to work with the Pogues legend, and to experience his wild ways firsthand as their friendship blossomed. 'I was just a fan… And here's why,' he announces before kicking things off with Body of an American. Whether it's a sugar rush from their chocolate eggs or something else, the crowd is certainly in the mood for it. By the time the band tear into the third song of the night, Streams of Whiskey, the first several rows are jumping up and down. The night is interspersed with affectionate tales of the musician's jaw-dropping bar bills, how impossible it was to plan things around the mercurial MacGowan and even an unexpected run-in with Celtic mascot Hoopy the Huddle Hound at Parkhead. There's a loud singalong to Dirty Old Town, the audience getting more and more into it with every tune. The evening comes to a close with Fairytale of New York, even though it's Easter Sunday. Never mind, says McLaughlin. He reckons it's not just the best Christmas single ever, but one of the finest songs ever written. Shane MacGowan had already become more myth than man before his death. And this show proved there was more to him than that Christmas staple and his legendary drinking habits (while, of course, not exactly shying away from that). For a man whose funeral turned into a party, with mourners waltzing around his coffin, I imagine raucous nights like these in the Lemon Tree are exactly how Shane would want his legacy to live on. The night Shane MacGowan and The Pogues raised hell at a rowdy Aberdeen gig in 1988
