Outer Banks Season 4 is now out on Netflix, and the fourth season ended with a big death that is set to condition the fifth and final installment of the show. A treasure-hunting young adult drama, the show follows a group of friends from the poor side of town as they seek treasure after treasure and try to build a family with each other.

Season 4’s hunt for the blue crown, a very valuable treasure that is also said to be magical, is set to continue in Season 5. But as the group finally finds the elusive object in the final episode of the season, JJ is tragically murdered by his father, Chandler Groff. As the episode fades to black, the Pogues wow their revenge.

Outer Banks fans were devastated by the death of JJ Maybank in season 4 and demand to know why showrunners decided to kill off the beloved character.
