‘Outer Banks Season 5’: Plot
Though things have been kept quite hush-hush regarding the plot of the series, it is expected that Season 5 will pick up the pace from where Season 4 left off. It showed Pogues in Morocco, and the death of JJ Maybank (Rudy Pankow), in a heartbreaking finale, as he is stabbed by his biological father.Following JJ’s departure from the show, Josh, the writer, in conversation with Tudum, mentioned, “It sets the stage for an epic fifth and final season. We’re planning a story of redemption, and a season that embodies the friendship that JJ had come to represent. JJ’s death was a hard but necessary piece of the architecture for the story, and we plan on honoring that as much as we can because we love the character as much as the fans do. And Rudy’s a great friend of ours.”
