In South America, John B and Sarah find El Dorado and retrieve a piece of gold to prove its existence. When they return from the cave, Singh is waiting and holds them at gunpoint, demanding the location of the gold. To escape, John B’s father, Big John, throws a stick of dynamite at the entrance, killing Singh.

After the explosion, John B, Sarah, and Big John reunite with the Pogues outside the cave. However, Ward Cameron shows up and holds them at gunpoint. When one of Singh’s men arrives and points a gun at Sarah, Ward sacrifices himself by pushing the gunman off the cliff, killing them both. Though the Pogues reach their boat safely, Big John collapses and dies due to blood loss from an earlier injury.

The final scene of Outer Banks season 3 featured an 18-month jump in time. John B and Sarah own a surf shop, Kiara works to save the turtles, JJ buys a charter boat, and Pope readies for college. Pope is also in a relationship with Cleo. The Pogues convene for a ceremony to honor their discovery of El Dorado.

The Pogues’ celebration is interrupted by a mysterious man, who asks the group to examine a captain’s log owned by Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard the pirate. The log could be the key to finding his gold. Season 4 will continue this storyline as the Pogues search for Blackbeard’s hidden treasure.

Outer Banks is one of Netflix’s most popular shows. The passionate fan base led to the streamer greenlighting a fourth season days before the third season premiered in February 2023. As of May 2024, Outer Banks season 5 has not been announced. However, the show will likely receive a fifth season because of its strong viewership.

Outer Banks co-creators Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke originally planned for the series to last four to five seasons. However, Josh explained in a February 2023 interview with EW that the number of seasons could change.

“I don’t know if I could put a real number on it right now — how long it takes to get to that ending might expand, but we now know the shape of the end of the story,” Josh said. “We’re going to take it as long as we can, for sure.”

Everything you need to know about Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 4
Tobey Magure in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The last time that director Sam Raimi and actors Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst worked on a movie together was in 2007 for Spider-Man 3. The film marked the conclusion of the Spider-Man trilogy that began in 2002, despite initial plans to bring Raimi, Maguire, and Dunst back for Spider-Man 4. Instead of going forward with that project, Sony rebooted the franchise in 2012 with The Amazing Spider-Man as Andrew Garfield took over the title role from Maguire.

So why are we still talking about Spider-Man 4 a whopping 17 years after Spider-Man 3? Because in 2021, Spider-Man: No Way Home brought back both Maguire and Garfield opposite their MCU counterpart, Tom Holland, for a smash hit at the box office. Ever since then, fans have tried to will Spider-Man 4 and The Amazing Spider-Man 3 into existence to continue Maguire and Garfield's respective Spidey franchises. That's why we're sharing everything you need to know about about Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 4.
