Who created Outer Banks, including its Season 5 story world?

Josh Pate, Jonas Pate and Shannon Burke created Outer Banks, including the story world continued in Season 5.

The three creators are also credited as showrunners and executive producers. Their series follows the Pogues and Kooks through treasure hunts, family secrets, romantic relationships, and conflicts over wealth and belonging.

Season 5 is the final planned season of the series they established. Its story continues the characters and mythology developed across the first four seasons, including the Royal Merchant, El Dorado, Blackbeard's treasure, and the Blue Crown.

The creators should not be confused with the Duffer Brothers, who created Stranger Things, or with filmmakers associated with unrelated adventure projects. Outer Banks is a Netflix television series created by this three-person team.
