The series producers, Shannon Burke, Josh Pate and Jonas Pate revealed 3 days before part 2 came out that Outer Banks had been renewed for its fifth and final season.
Burke and Pate reveal that season four was “our longest and hardest- but most rewarding- to produce.” They reveal that the season ends with “a feature length episode, which we think is our best, most powerful episode.” The producers hope the audience feels the same way. “Although, season five will be our best season yet,” Burke and Pate add.
