Outer Banks Just Killed Off a Major Character During Intense Season 4 Finale.
Outer Banks season four came to an end on Nov. 7 and with it, so too came the end for one of the show’s most beloved characters. Because after four seasons of John B (Chase Stokes), Sarah Cameron (Madelyn Cline), Kiara (Madison Bailey), Pope (Jonathan Daviss) and JJ (Rudy Pankow) risking life and limb in increasingly dangerous situations in pursuit of gold, their luck has finally run out.
So just which of the original cast members won’t make it to the fifth—and final—season of the fan-favorite Netflix series?
It’s Pankow’s JJ, the heart-of-gold, loyal-to-a-fault friend who found his true family in the Pogues. And to make matters all the more heartbreaking, JJ’s demise comes at the hands of the man he learns is his true father Chandler Groff—played by J. Anthony Crane—who, as it turns out, also killed JJ’s mom. (Ouch, we know.)
But just what led to this tragic end? Let’s rewind.
Heading into the season four finale, the Pogues are in pursuit of the Blue Crown—a piece of Blackbeard the pirate’s treasure—and fighting off mercenaries along the way.
But while it seemed as though karma finally came for Chandler after JJ left him to fend for himself in the desert as retribution for all the terrible things his father had done in life, Chandler reappears later on and takes JJ’s girlfriend Kiara at knifepoint.
