Netflix has renewed the young adult series “Outer Banks” for season 2.
Created by Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke, the show stars Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Rudy Pankow, Austin North, Drew Starkey, Deion Smith, and Charles Esten. They will all reprise their roles in the series, which premiered on April 15 on the streaming service. Pate, Pate and Burke will return as producers and executive producers.
“Outer Banks” follows the lives of a group of teenagers, called “pogues,” describing working-class locals living on the island, in the coastal town of Outer Banks in North Carolina. They live alongside the “kooks,” the wealthy residents who have second homes in the scenic area and with whom the pogues often quarrel over socio-economic policy.
In season 1 of the youth drama, the close-knit group of friends discover a sunken boat that hunts them for the missing father of their ringleader and a treasure hunt for $ 400 million in gold.
In a recent interview with VarietyThe cast explored their ties to the predecessors of the teen drama “Dawson’s Creek” and “One Tree Hill.” (Cullen Moss, who plays MP Shoupe, was on both shows.)
Netflix has had some success with teen-focused series, notably Mindy Kaling’s “Never Have I Ever,” which the streaming entertainment company said was seen by 40 million households, according to its own proprietary metrics. In its last reported quarter, Netflix said “Space Force” attracted 40 million homes, “Too Hot to Handle” attracted 51 million homes, and “Floor Is Lava” brought in 37 million projected homes.
