‘Outer Banks’ Co-Creators Talk Season 4’s Dark Finale Twist & New Villain, Address Season 5 Burning Questions: “We Bring Everything Home”

deadline.com:

SPOILER ALERT: The series includes details about Season 4 Part 2 of Netflix‘s Outer Banks. For the second time in four seasons, an Outer Banks finale ends with the Pogues mourning one of their own.

But while John B, along with Sarah, turned up a few weeks after being presumed dead in the Season 1 finale, the death was real this time as JJ (Rudy Pankow) passed away in Morocco surrounded by his friends in the final minutes of the Season 4 closer after he had been stabbed to death by his father.

On a show of high stakes where every member of the Pogue crew has found themselves in grave danger multiple times over the past four seasons, JJ’s killing was still a shocker that is sure to reverberate throughout Outer Banks‘ upcoming fifth and final season.

It was a culmination of a season that was focused on JJ who started off by putting Poguelandia 2.0 in jeopardy after betting (and losing) the last piece of El Dorado gold.
