A lot has changed since Outer Banks premiered on Netflix in April 2020, but according to Chase Stokes, the storyline has managed to stay pretty consistent. For the actor, that\u2019s partially why he\u2019s \u201cready\u201d for the show to end after Season 5<\/a>, which is set to release in 2026<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe want the story to end on the right note versus [turning] four seasons into Season 9 and we\u2019re going after aliens or something. We want to cut the chord before we lose the plot,\u201d he told People<\/a> in an interview published Dec. 27.<\/p>\n

According to the actor, he and the cast are \u201cthankful for the run, and we\u2019re ready for it to be done.\u201d He added, \u201cIt\u2019s beautiful to know that even though there\u2019s the highs and lows throughout all of the seasons, it\u2019s ending exactly how I was told when I started the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stokes also said he had a lot of \u201cgratitude\u201d for the show \u2014 although he initially thought he \u201cbombed\u201d his audition with director and showrunner Jonas Pate<\/a>. \u201cWhen I got thrown out here, I kind of accepted that this was probably my last shot at this industry and at this scale. I thought I\u2019d bombed the audition with Jonas. And I sat on the curb of the front of the production office and I had a full mental breakdown, sobbing,\u201d Stokes said. \u201cHe came out and he put his arm around me and he said, \u2018Hey, I don\u2019t know what you\u2019re going through. I don\u2019t know what you are feeling right now, but if you can bring this right here back into the room, I promise it\u2019s going to be magical.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Netflix<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s just so much gratitude because I was a kid who had a dream and no access to an industry, never really even knew what the process was,\u201d he added. \u201cI\u2019ve checked so many boxes that I thought it would span the course of the next 40 years of my career.\u201d<\/p>\n

For his next career move, Stokes is looking to other actors as inspiration. \u201cI always reference Robert Pattinson after he finished Twilight and [the] Harry Potter [franchise] and how he took creative risks, but really challenged himself as an artist. That\u2019s the blueprint for me,\u201d he said. \u201cI want to show people that the floppy-haired beach boy from the Netflix young adult show, is now 33 years old. And at the end of the day, all I want to do is challenge myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
