The first five episodes will include one-on-one interviews with the main cast. Ciuffo will chat with Chase Stokes (John B), Madelyn Cline (Sarah Cameron), Madison Bailey (Kiara Carrera), Jonathan Daviss (Pope Heyward), and Carlacia Grant (Cleo Anderson).
Listeners can anticipate personal anecdotes and reflections from the actors about their experiences and memorable moments throughout the series.
The podcast’s final episode will feature a special farewell gathering of the cast. Netflix has revealed that this episode will showcase conversations among Chase Stokes, Jonathan Daviss, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, and Carlacia Grant as they reminisce about their five-season journey.
The podcast will be accessible in both video and audio formats. Fans can watch the full video episodes on Netflix, while audio versions will be available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast services.
This launch is part of a larger farewell celebration for Outer Banks. Netflix is also hosting a fan event titled Pogues For Life: A Fan Farewell Event in Los Angeles on August 15.
