Almost two years after we last saw the Pogues in Outer Banks season 4, the release date has finally been confirmed for the show’s upcoming fifth and final season.
Season 5 will officially be released on Netflix on Thursday 20 August 2026, with all 10 episodes being released at once.
This news was confirmed alongside the release of a first-look trailer and a set of images. The trailer sees the Pogues continuing to mourn the loss of JJ, and seeking revenge, while also showing shots of the group locked in prison.
Of course, it’s not all sadness and anger. The group are also seen celebrating something with a bottle of champagne fizzing everywhere, and there are plenty of explosions and action sequences throughout.
You can watch the trailer right here now.

Outer Banks season 5 will once again star Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Carlacia Grant, Drew Starkey, J Anthony Crane, Austin North, Fiona Palomo and Cullen Moss.
The synopsis for the new season says that it “finds the Pogues at their absolute breaking point following the tragic loss of JJ in Morocco”.
The synopsis continues: “Stranded far from home and mourning the heart of their crew, they’ve lost the Blue Crown and continue to face 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, John B, Sarah, Kiara, Pope, and Cleo must rely on their scrappy instincts – and an uneasy alliance with Rafe – to keep from falling apart for good.
“Their mission is now a desperate race to reclaim their future and finally win the freedom they’ve been chasing since the beginning.
“It’s the Pogues against the world as they seek to avenge their best friend and bring it on home… one final time.”
