Netflix announced a six‑episode companion series titled "Outer Banks: The Official Podcast," set to debut on August 20, 2026, the same day the streaming platform releases the fifth and final season of the teen adventure drama. Hosted by longtime fan Ria Ciuffo, the podcast will feature one‑on‑one interviews with the core cast—including Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss and Carlacia Grant—and a group finale episode.
