Fans waited for more than a year, and they almost ended up regretting discovering it on Netflix! Outer Banks did not do things by halves, closing its season 4 with the shock death of JJ (Rudy Pankow), one of the fans' favorite characters. In this new salvo, the Pogues set off in search of Blackbeard's treasure, which took them to Morocco and provoked chain revelations for JJ. In addition to discovering the young man's real first name, we learned that Luke was not his real father. It was ultimately his biological father, Chandler Groff, who stabbed him mercilessly in episode 10. You haven't gotten over the death of Kiara's boyfriend? So, like many fans, you may have already come up with several theories about season 5 ofOuter Banks about this. Here are the most popular on social networks.
1. No, JJ didn't die in Outer Banks
Fans ofOuter Banks can't get over JJ's death. Rumors of tensions between actors Rudy Pankow and Madison Bailey, who plays Kiara, have circulated, but the creators assured that the character's disappearance had been planned for a long time. But that doesn't stop Internet users from still being convinced that JJ is in fact not dead! Some still firmly believe that the character will be back at the start of season 5. So, it's hard to see how that would be possible but hope keeps us alive as they say.
2. JJ will be resurrected in the final season ofOuter Banks
If JJ seems indeed dead, others are convinced that he could finally come back… with a little magic! As several Internet users point out on the Reddit forum, the famous crown that the Pogues are looking for could give powers to whoever possesses it. The most optimistic therefore think that after recovering her, Kiara or John B could wish for the return of JJ, who would therefore come back from the dead. In the same vein, other Internet users think that the character could not come back to life, but be “reborn”… in the guise of John B. and Sarah's baby. So yes, this supernatural plot seems straight out of a bad episode of Riverdalebut we are not safe from anything after all!
3. John B's voiceovers will be explained at the end ofOuter Banks
On a more serious note, and to get away from JJ a bit, you all know that John B, played by Chase Stokes, is the narrator of most of the episodes ofOuter Banks. A voice-over which would not be there by chance, according to this theory. A large part of the fans think that in reality, John B tells his adventures and those of his friends to his child or children. The series could then end with an older John B telling the story to his children. This idea would be perfect to show the evolution of the Sarah/John B couple, and the other Pogues.
4. Rafe and Kiara will become a couple in the last episodes ofOuter Banks
If you jumped out of your seat just reading this intertitle, we understand! We too, are barely recovering from JJ's death and we have difficulty seeing how Kiara could turn the page so quickly. And yet, the theory of a love story between her and Rafe has been quite popular among fans for several years. In season 5, we imagine that Kiara will seek to avenge JJ's death, and perhaps take the opportunity to lean on Rafe. Internet users who believe in this theory would in any case not be surprised to see them as a couple at the end of the series. As for us, we don't really know what to think about it…
5. The craziest theory about season 5 ofOuter Banks
Be careful, this theory will blow your brain! Among some of the fans ofOuter Banksthe entire season 4 might actually have been… just a dream! Yes, imagine: at the start of season 5, we find JJ completely alive and for good reason, nothing that we saw really happened! On TikTok, a user shared this idea, referring to the moment in episode 1 when the camera zooms in on JJ during the advice. “I think he imagined it all. In season 5, they are still on the council (…) A bit like in the last Twilight film where the battle scene was just a dream”, explains this fan. We don't know if this is genius or nonsense. At the same time, dallas did it well too with the story of the dream around Bobby Ewing…
And you, what are your theories on season 5 ofOuter Banks ?
