Outer Banks season 4 premiered on October 10, 2024, on Netflix, with five episodes packed with action, mystery, and drama. This has made fans wonder why there are only five episodes for this season when the previous seasons ran for ten episodes.
The good news for fans of Outer Banks is that season 4 is not going to give us just 5 episodes. This season has been divided into two parts and the rest of the episodes will be coming on Netflix in a month. There is a lot more left to the Pogue's adventures, which will be revealed soon when the second part of the season drops.

Why are there only 5 episodes of Outer Banks season 4?
Nearly two years after its last season, Outer Banks is back on Netflix for more adventure and drama with season 4. But the release of the fourth season has left some fans confused because it was released on Netflix on Thursday, October 10, 2024, with just five episodes. Fans don't need to worry as there will be more episodes in a month.
The streaming giant decided to split the new season of Outer Banks into two parts, like it has been doing with some of its bigger releases like Bridgerton season 3 and Cobra Kai season 6.
This releasing of episodes in two parts keeps up the momentum of the season and holds the interest of fans longer who now have to wait some more for the whole story to be complete.
While other streaming services like Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ go for weekly episode drops, Netflix sticks closer to its binge model by releasing all episodes together.
But now, the platform is breaking up seasons into two parts to keep up the discussion and online engagement. Moreover, splitting seasons into two parts, which are released weeks apart, ensures that viewers hold onto the subscription instead of just canceling after viewing their favorite show's latest season.

Is there a release date for part two of Outer Banks season 4?
Outer Banks season 4 Part 2 will be available for streaming on Thursday, November 7, 2024, at 12 a.m. PT on Netflix. It will bring us the final 5 episodes of the fourth season. Netflix has already shared the episode titles and they are as follows:
- Season 4 Episode 6 - The Town Council
- Season 4 Episode 7 - Mothers and Fathers
- Season 4 Episode 8 - Decision Day
- Season 4 Episode 9 - The Storm
- Season 4 Episode 10 - The Blue Crown
What to expect from season 4 part 2?
The second part of the new season of Outer Banks will probably dive deeper into the story of what led Larissa and Charles to give up JJ. We are also hoping that it may reveal whether Charles and Wes always knew who JJ was, or if they too assumed he was dead up until now.
Another big cliffhanger we were left with at the end of season 4 part 1 is the fact that Pope and Sarah are stuck underground in the catacomb and there seems to be no way out. How will they get themselves out, especially with the water level rising?
The treasure hunt is definitely not over yet and like every previous season this one too will give us an explosive ending.
