‘Outer Banks’ Prequel Series in Development Ahead of Netflix Show’s Final Season
The prequel will trace how Kildare Island’s haves-and-have-nots split began, as Netflix expands one of its biggest hit franchises.
- Netflix is developing an Outer Banks prequel series from creators Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke to explore the origins of Kildare Island's deep social divide between Pogues and Kooks.
- Set 20 years before the original show, the prequel focuses on the parents' generation as the popular series concludes its five-season run with final episodes premiering today, August 20.
- Currently, the creators are drafting the script, with Pate stating, "We're working hard on it with our awesome partners from Netflix," under their overall deal with the streamer.
- This expansion aligns with Netflix's deliberate strategy for growing hit franchises, following the success of Bridgerton and its prequel, Queen Charlotte.
- Burke noted the series dramatizes how the island split into the "haves and have-nots," exploring foundational history the creators find particularly relevant in the current country.
