Pogues, if you think you’re emotional about saying goodbye to Outer Banks, just wait until you scroll through these never-before-seen photos.
While filming Outer Banks: The Official Podcast, host Ria Ciuffo (Chicks in the Office) presented each cast member with a yearbook from their time on the series, featuring candid photos that spanned seven years. “It feels like a lifetime ago,” Chase Stokes (John B) says as he looks at an old picture of himself goofing off with Jonathan Daviss (Pope Heyward). “We were so naive and giddy just to be on a film set and to see the magic happening.”
After spotting a photo at the Chateau, Madison Bailey (Kiara Carrera) waxed nostalgic about the beloved location. “Every time I see a picture of the Chateau, it’s sad,” she says. “I’m so glad that we got to go back at the end of this season, that was an emotional day for all of us … we hadn’t been there in two seasons — it was bittersweet.”
Crack open the Pogues yearbook yourself, and help celebrate the class of 2026. It’s time for one last woogity, woogity.
Chase
John b.
“[The guitar photo] was the first day on set. My first reaction was — is John B a bass guy or is he a six-string?”
“We were so naive and giddy just to be on a film set and to see the magic happening.”
“What you don’t see is that directly in front of us and all around us were thousands of people. It was the one day when the Charleston police department came, and they had to do crowd control.”
“They looked at me and were like, ‘Have you ever been scuba diving?’ I said, ‘No,’ and they said, ‘OK, well, this is how you go down, and this is how you go up.’”
“Rudy and I had a saying, ‘Nothing to lose.’ We truly felt we had nothing to lose — just wing it.”
None of us really knew what this was going to end up being, but the one thing we did throughout the entirety of the seven years was we stuck together.
Chase Stokes
Chase Stokes has “a good time, all the time” on set.
“This started as something on a piece of paper, but it became ours.”
“Out of all of us, Madison is the biggest fan — inside and out — of this show. She loves this universe in a way that is so, so deep for her.”
Madelyn
Sarah cameron
(Top Left) “This picture is of my very first week of filming ever … drinking margaritas because I had just turned 21.”
“We look like babies — that’s insane.”
Cline soaks in the sun on set.
“This was when Madison and I lived in the same apartment for the first month-ish of filming.”
“I think this was the day we all officially got our roles. I got those shorts from Urban Outfitters.”
You see these Pogues, who are the same Pogues, but they’re stronger, more resilient, and maybe more in touch with their emotions.
Madelyn Cline
“I’ve shared so many laughs with the two girls.”
“All the girls huddled under a blanket — that’s so sweet and special.”
Filming Outer Banks took Cline and Stokes to far-flung locations.
Madison
KIARA Carrera
“The second swimming lesson was apparently just for me, but they said it was for everyone … moral support for me.”
“I’m super grateful to have filmed in all the places we did, like Croatia, Morocco, places that were not even on my list.”
“We were babies.”
You could tell me 10 years from now, ‘P4L,’ and I’d be like, ‘P4L.’ Literally for life.
Madison Bailey
“With people playing your best friends, you just create a bond that is so valuable.”
“[Filming from] 2020–2026? That’s growing up. These are the first people you build bonds with in your adult life.”
“This is my college cast — our little summer camp.”
“I’ve known y’all for so long, we’ve hung out so much off set that I [have to remind myself], ‘I’m not talking to Chase right now — this is John B.’”
Jonathan
Pope
“If we see you being too serious on set, we’re going to come mess with you.”
“I love our little spa day picture. I had never been to a spa.”
“These are my friends for life. We’ll always have our first major project together.”
“This was the last day. It was just a celebration.”
“It was like a college dorm [when we lived in the same building]. We needed an RA.”
Jonathan Daviss
Bailey and Daviss goof off on set.
“It’s a college, postgrad, and undergrad experience.”
“You’re just enjoying achieving your dream more than anything … It’s a cutthroat industry, and not everybody gets to make it and to lead a show.”
“It’s going to be sad not coming back for Season 6 of Outer Banks, but the people I’ve grown with over these last years — we’re going to be connected forever.”

Carlacia Grant at Heyward’s in Charleston.
“This is in Barbados, before one of our photo shoots we had to do. We took it one of the first days we got there.”
“My chemistry read was with Rudy [Pankow], Madelyn, and Chase. It was like love at first sight.”
Carlacia Grant
“It was like the last day of high school.”
“Look at JD being so chivalrous.”

Grant feels the sun on her face in Barbados.
“I remember how warm and welcoming everyone was. I was a little bit nervous about coming into something that was already established, but everyone went above and beyond making me feel welcome from the very first day.”
