# Netflix August 2026: Outer Banks Concludes > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/netflix-2026-summer-release-schedule > Updated: 2026-08-31T21:09:00.000Z. Sources: 186. Developments: 20. Netflix’s August 2026 catalogue is anchored by the fifth and final season of *Outer Banks*, which debuted on 20 August 2026. The ten-episode conclusion follows John B, Sarah, Kiara, Pope, and Cleo as they navigate the aftermath of JJ’s death in Morocco, pursue the legendary Blue Crown, and seek revenge against Chandler Groff and the Corsairs. The high-stakes treasure hunt features international locations including Morocco, Spain, Croatia, and Azerbaijan, before returning to the series' setting in the Carolinas. Significant portions of the final season were filmed in Dubrovnik, Croatia, utilizing recognizable locations such as the Stradun, the city walls, the Jesuit stairs, Srđ, and Lokrum island. To survive threats from Dalia’s Corsairs and the Kooks, the Pogues must form an “uneasy alliance” with their rival, Rafe. The series finale, titled ‘The Storm and What Came After,’ depicts a devastating hurricane hitting Kildare. Following the storm, the Pogues successfully recover a $400 million treasure to honor JJ’s memory and rebuild the Kildare community. A concluding time jump reveals a stable future for the characters, specifically showing John B and Sarah married with a daughter named JJ. Following the conclusion, Netflix is developing a prequel series titled *Kildare*. Set 20 years before the original timeline, the production aims to explore the social divide and the origins of the rivalry between the Kook and Pogue groups. Lead actor Chase Stokes, who played John B, revealed the physical toll of the five-season run, noting he sustained multiple injuries including three concussions, a dislocated shoulder, and a dislocated finger. Stokes stated that the concussions have resulted in “ongoing short-term memory issues” affecting his daily life. Created by Joe and Jonas Pate, the series has amassed over 400 million views worldwide across its five seasons. ## Claims - The final batch of One Hundred Years of Solitude: Part 2 will be released on August 26, 2026.
