Outer Banks prequel
Outer Banks fans, fret not! When they say “Pogues for life,” they mean for life! Even as the fifth season of Outer Banks will conclude the popular Netflix series, according to Deadline, a prequel to the show is being planned. The creators of the YA series, Josh Pate, Jonahs Pate and Shannon Burke, are now developing an idea they’ve been kicking around that will explore the island of Kildare.
The creators are working on a prequel, referred to as Kildare, that explains how the island created a social divide between the working-class locals, Pogues, and the wealthy seasonal residents, the Kooks, who live in The Cut and Figure Eight neighborhoods. It is said to take place 20 years before the events of Outer Banks and while the creators have toyed with the idea for a couple of years, it has recently picked up steam as the original series comes to an end.
Josh Pate told Deadline, “We’re working on the script. We’re working hard on it with our awesome partners from Netflix, and we’re just trying to get all of it as good as it can be.”

“Season five finds the Pogues at their absolute breaking point following the tragic loss of JJ in Morocco. 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.”
