Major Career Moves: New Movies and Projects for the OBX Stars in 2025
With the final chapter of Outer Banks complete, the main cast is quickly transitioning into major film and television roles, demonstrating their versatility beyond the teen drama genre. This shift highlights their growing topical authority in the wider entertainment industry. The dedication to their craft is evident as they tackle thrillers, action films, and dramas.
Chase Stokes’ Thriller and Action Film Slate
Chase Stokes, known for his role as the reckless but lovable John B. Routledge, has been particularly busy. He is set to star in two highly anticipated film projects. The first is a movie adaptation of the popular book series, *Marked Men*, where he plays a lead role. This project marks a significant step into the young adult romance/drama genre outside of Netflix.
Furthermore, Stokes is also involved in the action-thriller film *Valiant One*. This role sees him moving away from the sun-drenched beaches of the Outer Banks and into a high-stakes military drama. These diverse projects indicate a clear strategy to diversify his portfolio before the final season of OBX airs, ensuring his career longevity.
Madelyn Cline’s Dive into Horror and Podcasts
Madelyn Cline, who plays the pivotal role of Sarah Cameron, is also making waves with strategic career choices. Following the success of her character's transformation from a Kook to a Pogue, Cline has landed roles in major upcoming films. She is confirmed to be joining the cast of an upcoming horror franchise, a stark departure from the adventure-drama of OBX.
In addition to her film work, Cline has also been engaging with fans and the industry through high-profile media appearances, including a notable 2025 episode of Jake Shane's *Therapuss* podcast. Her ability to navigate both mainstream horror and intimate, personal media demonstrates her wide appeal and growing influence as a young actress.
Rudy Pankow and Drew Starkey’s Rising Stardom
While Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline have captured many headlines, the supporting cast members are also experiencing a massive career boost. Rudy Pankow (JJ Maybank) and Drew Starkey (Rafe Cameron) are consistently cited as breakout stars whose performances have elevated the show’s dramatic tension. Starkey, in particular, has earned critical praise for his portrayal of the troubled Kook, Rafe, cementing his status as one of the show's most compelling antagonists. His ability to evoke sympathy despite his character's dark path is a testament to his acting prowess. The entire ensemble, including Madison Bailey and Jonathan Daviss, are highly sought after for new roles, a common trend for actors from successful Netflix properties.
The Future of the Pogues: What the Final Season Means for the OBX Universe
The news that the cast has wrapped filming on the final season (Season 5) is bittersweet for the dedicated fanbase. The showrunners, including Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke, have managed to create a compelling world of class warfare between the "Kooks"—the wealthy elite—and the "Pogues"—the working-class locals. The final season is expected to bring closure to the long-running narratives, including the fate of Ward Cameron's legacy and the ultimate resolution of the treasure hunt.
The actors themselves have spoken openly about the emotional process of concluding the series. Madelyn Cline admitted to being "terrified" about the end of Outer Banks, acknowledging the safe haven the show has provided since 2020. Madison Bailey has also been vocal about processing the end of the journey, emphasizing the profound impact the show has had on their lives.
The *Outer Banks* cast has successfully leveraged the show's massive platform into long-term careers. As they transition out of their iconic roles, fans can look forward to seeing the actors in a wide array of new projects, from major studio films to independent thrillers. The legacy of the Pogues—a group of friends bonded by their loyalty, their pursuit of treasure, and the spirit of the *Pogue life*—will undoubtedly live on, even as the actors chart their new courses in Hollywood.
