Read Pates and Shannon Burke’s joint statement below:

Shipping to all Pogues:

Seven years ago, in the summer of 2017, we came across a photo of teenagers on a beach at dusk during a power outage. This photo gave rise to the idea for a story about four best friends who just want to have fun all the time. From this beginning, we imagined a mystery that would lead to a five-season journey of adventure, treasure hunts and friendship.

At the time, seven years ago, it seemed impossible that we could actually tell the entire five-season story, but here we are, at the end of our fourth season, still cutting.

The fourth season was the longest and most difficult – but most rewarding – to produce. The season ends with a feature-length episode, which we consider our best and most powerful episode. We hope you feel the same.

Now, with some sadness but also excitement, we are leaving Season Four behind and turning to Season Five, in which we hope to bring our beloved Pogues home in the way we imagined and planned years ago. Season five will be our last and we think it will be the best yet. We hope you’ll join us for another paddle to the surf break.

P4L,

Josh, Jonas and Shannon

The Pogues and Kooks will return

While a shocking twist is always possible throughout both halves of Season 4, it’s not hard to speculate about the cast of External Banks season 5.
