Overview
- Multiple outlets reported in mid‑August 2026 that Josh Pate, Jonas Pate and Shannon Burke have moved a prequel concept, often called Kildare, into formal development at Netflix.
- Josh Pate told Deadline the trio are actively working on the script as the original series reaches its planned fifth and final season.
- The prequel is set roughly 20 years before Outer Banks and is framed to explore the island’s origins of class division between working‑class Pogues and wealthy Kooks.
- Creators say the story will follow some familiar family lineages alongside new characters by focusing on the parents’ generation rather than the current teen protagonists.
- Netflix declined to comment and no formal series order, casting information, production start date or release timetable has been announced, leaving the project early in its development phase.
