Netflix's Outer Banks Season Finale Recap: All Your Questions, Answered


If you’re obsessed with Netflix‘s new series Outer Banks, you’re not alone. The beachy teen drama is a perfect mix of Riverdale, Gossip Girl, and The O.C. with a little bit of The Goonies mixed in, so it’s no surprise it’s a hit both with critics and fans alike.

The show centers on John B. Rutledge (Chase Stokes), a 17-year-old who lives in the Outer Banks region of North Carolina and leads a band of not-so-rich misfits named the Pogues: JJ (Rudy Pankow), Kiara (Madison Bailey), and Pope (Jonathan Daviss). After John B.’s father mysteriously disappears and leaves behind hints of where the Pogues can find a $400 million treasure, they set out to find it.

They’re not the only ones hunting for the gold, of course. On the other side of the spectrum, we have the Kooks, the Outer Banks’s rich elite, of which Sarah (Madelyn Cline) is a part of. Her father, Ward (Charles Esten), is also hellbent on finding the treasure, and the other Kooks in town—including Sarah’s boyfriend, Topper (Austin North), and brother, Rafe (Drew Starkey)—love undermining the Pogues whenever they can.

As you can imagine, it doesn’t take long for things to come to a head. By the Outer Banks season finale—spoiler warning—Sarah has dumped Topper and fallen deeply in love with John B. The two flee to the Bahamas, where the treasure is now located, after it’s revealed that Ward is the one responsible for the disappearance (read: murder) of John B.’s father. And there’s a new romance on the horizon, too, for Kiara and Pope.

With so many cliffhangers and no confirmed season two, we chatted with Madelyn Cline to figure out where the Kooks and Pogues go from here. She answered all our questions about the finale and then some. Read on.

Glamour: What were your thoughts when you saw where Sarah was going in the season finale?

Madelyn Cline: We have such great writers, and they’re very, very receptive to our ideas. I remember there was a point when one asked me, “Do you think you, as Sarah Cameron, would choose your family or John B.?” I remember thinking on it and telling her, “I wholeheartedly believe Sarah is 100% absolutely head over heels for John B., and I think she absolutely would get on that boat with him.” There’s one part in the show when John B. tells Sarah, “You’re all I have.” I told the writer that at that point John B. is also all Sarah has. Her world just crumbled around her, so it’s a no-brainer that she would have gotten on that boat with him and risked everything.

So what do you think will happen next? Do you think they’re going to set up shop in the Bahamas or get the treasure and come back?

In my mind, what I see is this Blue Lagoon or Castaway-type scenario where they get to the Bahamas and have the gold bars, and they live in this really romantic, Bonnie and Clyde-type Blue Lagoon world. They’re just in this honeymoon phase of, “We’ve run away from home, we’re in love, we’re in this beautiful place, and there are no problems.” I would really love to see everything they’ve been running from catch up to them. I think they might have to go back to the Outer Banks because of the Pogues and confront all the things they’ve been running from.

How do you think Sarah will process what came out about her father? Could you see them having some kind of relationship? Where do you think that relationship’s going to go?

Outer Banks Season 2: Everything We Know So Far


Warning: Major Outer Banks season one spoilers ahead.

People are slowly but surely discovering Netflix’s new teen drama, Outer Banks, and becoming obsessed. It’s hard not to fall in love with it, especially if you’re fond of shows like The O.C., Gossip Girl, and Riverdale. Set in North Carolina’s Outer Banks region, this soapy series follows a group of high schoolers as they hunt for a $400 million treasure. Intermixed with this high-stakes quest are all the things you’ve come to expect from high school-centric content: love triangles, petty fights, and beautiful people staring vacantly into space.

But Outer Banks has some serious teeth, too. There’s major class warfare between the Pogues—the not-so-wealthy kids on the treasure hunt—and the Kooks, the rich elite, some who are also keen on finding the gold. A few characters on the show battle substance abuse issues or come from broken families, including John B. (Chase Stokes), whose father’s mysterious disappearance kicks off everything. There are real issues underneath Outer Banks’s glossy, sun-kissed sheen.

I ripped through the first season’s 10 episodes in record time and am currently salivating for more. But is Netflix going to give us an Outer Banks season two? Based on that explosive cliffhanger of a finale, let’s hope so, but the streaming platform hasn’t announced anything yet. Until then, let’s do what all fans do in times of uncertainty: theorize about what’s to come. Here’s everything we know about the potential of an Outer Banks season two:

Will there be an Outer Banks season two?

Netflix hasn’t announced anything yet, so unclear. An official confirmation probably won’t happen for at least a few more weeks. Netflix no-doubt has to see how the show performs before making any big decisions.

When would it premiere?

Again, unclear. With production on Netflix shows halted because of the coronavirus, timelines for so many premieres are in limbo. The earliest air date, though, would probably be spring 2021—if the show is even renewed to begin with.

What would season two cover?

I mean, so much. Just think about where we left off in the season one finale. John B. (Chase Stokes) and Sarah (Madelyn Cline) are on their way to the Bahamas—where the treasure now is—after fleeing the Outer Banks; Pope (Jonathan Daviss) and Kiara (Madison Bailey) have a thing going on; and we still don’t know what will happen to Ward, the one actually behind the murder of John B.’s father. There’s so much ground to cover that a second season would practically write itself. So let’s keep our fingers crossed it happens.

Until then, Outer Banks season one is currently streaming on Netflix.

Who Is Chase Stokes? Get to Know the ‘Outer Banks’ Star With These Inappropriate Questions


Oh my gosh, 100%. I will recommend this to the world, and next thing you know, Pedialyte is going to have a boost in their stock. If you drink an entire thing of Pedialyte after a night of drinking, you will wake up the next morning completely hangover-cured. It is proven by not just me, but by scientists around the world. And by scientists, I mean the majority of the cast of Outer Banks. And if you don’t have Pedialyte, two Advil and a giant Gatorade, and you’re good to go.

Let’s say we’re out of quarantine and you are going to a party. You stop by a convenience store to pick up some things. What are you buying?

Spicy Nacho Doritos, a bag of Sour Patch Kids, bottle of whiskey, and no, I’m never sharing any of them. Well, I’ll share the whiskey. But the Doritos and Sour Patch kids, those are staying in my pocket.

What are you currently binge-watching?

I am obsessed with New Girl. Nick Miller from the streets of Chicago! I am a Jake Johnson fan until I die.

Which celebrity do you first remember having a crush on?

Jennifer Aniston. It’s the same today. It will never leave.

She’s perfect. Did you love when she joined Instagram?

I actually cried. Like, I had tears coming out of my eyes. I was like, “She is available. We are on a similar parallel now.” There’s no chance for me, but at least knowing that we both have an Instagram, there’s a slight possibility that this could potentially turn into a conversation, at least. And if I die knowing I had a conversation with Jennifer Aniston, then I’ll die a happy man.

Do you have a type?

I’m really, really attracted to intellect. Any mental thing. Physicality sort of becomes a secondary thing for me. I’m so in tune with people’s hearts and people’s souls and deep conversations before I even start to look at the sexuality stuff. I’m not a typical, sexual-driven male. For me, it’s more about, I want to have a deep in-depth conversation with somebody before I even think about the physical intimacy of it. So anybody that can get in touch with my brain and then my soul, that’s what’s going to turn me on the most.

Is there a topic that someone could bring up on a date that you’d absolutely flip out over? Like, in the best way?

Something I’m completely not going to expect would blow me away. Anytime somebody brings up something you’re completely unaware of that that person’s going to bring to the table is the best of circumstances. It opens the floodgates into the universe of now, what’s next? And you can go from there.

Do you ever turn to astrology for guidance? Are you an astrology person?

I’ll be honest. On a scale of one to 10, I don’t. But if it’s optimistic and it’s something positive about the next 24 hours of my life, I am so game. If it tells me I’m about to make $10,000 in the next 24 hours, I believe it. If it’s negative, I’m like, “This stuff is not real.”

Netflix's New Show Outer Banks Looks Like the Perfect Blend of The O.C. and Riverdale


These days, you probably have a lot of time to stream Netflix. But there’s only so many old episodes of Gossip Girl you can watch, right? Well, if you’re in the mood for another soapy drama stacked with hot people and preposterous stakes, then I have some very good news: Netflix is dropping its new series, Outer Banks, in two weeks, and it looks the perfect blend of The O.C. and Riverdale (with, yes, a little Gossip Girl thrown in).

The show takes place on North Carolina’s idyllic Outer Banks: sunny and beachy but with, apparently, a major class divide. You’re either super rich or working two jobs in this town, per narrator John Booker Rutledge (Chase Stokes). The central characters in this story are in the latter category, which is why when they find out John’s missing father somehow acquired $400 million in gold, all hell breaks loose. What transpires is an all-out treasure hunt, mixed with saucy romance and clash collisions between the Outer Banks’s wealthy and working class.

Watch the trailer for yourself, below. You’ll pick up on the Riverdale (crime, hot people) and O.C. (beach, hot people) vibes instantly.

Netflix’s official description for the series reads, “Outer Banks is a coming-of-age story that follows a tight-knit group of local teens (a.k.a. the Pogues) in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. When a hurricane kills the power for the summer season, it sets off a chain of illicit events that force the friends to make life-altering decisions. The search for their ringleader’s missing father, forbidden romances, a high-stakes treasure hunt, and the escalating conflict between the Pogues and their rivals turn their summer into one filled with mystery and adventure they’ll never forget.”

Sold? Me too. All 10 episodes of Outer Banks hit Netflix on Wednesday, April 15.
