Watch the first 9 minutes of Outer Banks Season 4 now

The Season 3 finale ended with an 18-month time jump after the Pogues found the treasure, and the cast was just as eager to fill in the gaps as the fans. “That’s what I’m most excited about, finding out what’s in between,” Jonathan Daviss (who plays Pope) told Tudum last season.

So far, the series has only told us after the jump that Kiara (Madison Bailey) is saving sea turtles, Pope (Daviss) was planning on going to school, JJ (Pankow) bought a charter boat, and Sarah (Madison Cline worked with John B. in a surf shop, not to mention that a new character, Wes Genrette (David Jensen), has made them an offer that a Pogue would find hard to refuse: join the search for Blackbeard's treasure.

So why the jump at all? “We felt like we had to remove them from the school.” Outer Banks Co-creator Josh Pate previously told Tudum in a conversation explaining the ending of Season 3. He and co-creators Jonas Pate and Shannon Burke viewed the first three seasons as a trilogy, so Season 4 will feel like they're clearing the deck. “We will have new villains, a new treasure hunt, a new living situation,” he said.

Watch the first nine minutes above and get excited for the rest of season four, premiering with Part 1 on October 10th and Part 2 on November 7th. We're bringing it home, Pogues!
