Netflix's teen drama Outer Banks received a renewal order on Saturday, February 18, much to the delight and surprise of fans. The series is slated to premiere its third season, which is due on February 23, 2023. However, the fan-favorite show has already received a season four order, surprising fans across the globe.
The series, created by Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke, has been quite an offbeat hit among viewers. Its first season premiered in 2020 and enjoyed massive success. The quirky treasure hunt story soon followed up with another season, which was also well-received. With the news of an incoming fourth season, most fans took to social media platforms like Twitter to celebrate the renewal.
In what is a rare scenario in this day and age, the show received almost all positive reactions from global fans when news of a fresh new installment broke.
How are Outer Banks fans reacting to the season 4 renewal?
With news of series cancelations greeting television fans every other day, it is truly a wonder to come across good news for a change. Outer Banks was already supremely popular among fans, which was perhaps one of the reasons for this renewal's glowing response.
The show originally started airing as a teenage drama with a much narrower target audience. However, it seems that the dramatic story of the small town stuck with viewers, who decided to make this one of the most trending shows on Netflix. Twitter reactions to the fourth season's renewal speak volumes about the popularity of the beloved show.
Interestingly, a lot of this love is pouring in because of Netflix's tendency to cancel fan-favorite shows. With the future of the show secure, fans can now breathe a sigh of relief.
