`Outer Banks` follows the lives of a group of teenagers - called the `pogues,` describing the working class locals who live on the island - in the beach town of the Outer Banks in North Carolina. They live alongside the `kooks,` the wealthy residents who have second homes in the scenic area and with whom the pogues often get into scuffles over socioeconomic politics.
In Season 1 of the teen drama, the close-knit group of friends discovers a sunken boat that leads them on a hunt for their ringleader's missing father and a treasure hunt for $400 million in gold.
In a recent interview, the cast explored its ties to teen drama predecessors `Dawson's Creek` and `One Tree Hill.` (Cullen Moss, who portrays Deputy Shoupe, was on both shows.)
Netflix has had some success with teen-focused series, in particular Mindy Kaling's `Never Have I Ever,` which the streaming entertainment company said was viewed by 40 million households, per its own proprietary metrics. In its most recently reported quarter, Netflix said `Space Force` brought in 40 million households, `Too Hot to Handle` attracted 51 million households, and `Floor Is Lava` brought in a projected 37 million households.
