Jonas Pate, the twin brother of Josh Pate, is a co-creator of Outer Banks Season 5.
Jonas and Josh Pate developed Outer Banks with Shannon Burke, creating the Netflix series about rival groups of young people searching for lost treasure. The Pate brothers are both filmmakers from North Carolina, and their shared background helped shape the show’s coastal setting and adventure-driven tone.
Jonas Pate has worked on several television projects as a director, writer, and producer. He is also known for co-creating the science-fiction series Surface with Josh Pate. His involvement in Outer Banks extends beyond the writing room because he has directed episodes of the series as well.
Shannon Burke is the third creator, but he is not Josh Pate’s twin. The twin relationship belongs specifically to Jonas and Josh Pate, making Jonas the single canonical answer.
