\n\tChase Stokes<\/a>\u2018 time of playing John B is also up.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast week, Stokes took to Instagram<\/a> to share that filming wrapped on the fifth and final season of Netflix\u2019s Outer Banks<\/a>. <\/em>And in a new interview with People<\/a>,<\/em> the actor opens up about how he\u2019s grateful for the show, but at the same, he and his cast members are ready for it to end.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe want the story to end on the right note versus [turning] four seasons into season nine and we\u2019re going after aliens or something,\u201d Stokes said. \u201cWe want to cut the cord before we lose the plot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe YA show, which first premiered in 2020, follows a group of teens in North Carolina\u2019s Outer Banks who end up treasure hunting. Madelyn Cline, Drew Starkey, Jonathan Daviss, Madison Bailey and Carlacia Grant also star in the series and Stokes said they have become a \u201ctrue family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\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 Stokes continued. \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

\n\tHe also explained what he hopes is next in his career. \u201cI always reference Robert Pattinson after he finished Twilight<\/em> and [the] Harry Potter<\/em> [franchise] and how he took creative risks, but really challenged himself as an artist. That\u2019s the blueprint for me. I want to show people that the floppy-haired beach boy from the Netflix young adult show, is now 33 years old,\u201d he said. \u201cAll I want to do is challenge myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen it comes to the series finale, Stokes teased, \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 he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe season four finale saw the shocking death of JJ (played by Rudy Pankow). Showrunner Jonas Pate previously told The Hollywood Reporter <\/em><\/a>that the storyline was planned at the end of season three and explained why they killed him off. \u201cIt\u2019s been kind of lurking in his DNA from the beginning. He\u2019s really a tragic figure, and the idea of mortality, and you only have a finite window \u2014 it\u2019s also a theme of the show. It\u2019s something John B has talked about from the first season,\u201d Pate said. \u201cSo believe it or not, this is something that was always sort of baked in the cake, and we just wanted to tell the story as elegantly and interestingly as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOuter Banks <\/em>season five drops on the streamer next year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
