[This storyincludes major spoilers from Outer Banks season four, part one.]
Outer Banks by no means fails to ship shocker after shocker for its predominant characters and Half One among season 4 was no totally different.
The ultimate moments of episode 5, “Albatross,” delivered blows to Rudy Pankow‘s JJ, Jonathan Davis’ Pope, Madelyn Cline‘s Sarah, Chase Stokes‘ John B and the remainder of the crew in a single kind or one other.
Half one kicked off with a recap of what the Pogues had been as much as within the 18 months between coming back from their Metropolis of El Dorado discovery in season three to when Wes Genrette (David Jensen) approaches them with Blackbeard’s captain log, probably setting them up for a brand new treasure hunt.
Over the course of the Half One episodes, the Pogues arrange a bait-and-tackle store, with a constitution enterprise for vacationers, in addition to diving and surf classes. However the cash they received from the gold they introduced again from El Dorado solely lasted them so lengthy — thanks, partly, to JJ placing most of it into an public sale to purchase again his household’s dwelling.
And that’s solely the primary of many occasions throughout which JJ’s impulsivity put him and his associates in a precarious place. One other got here within the type of a dust bike race towards the Kooks that put them out of their closing financial savings from their gold earnings.
“I believe he blames quite a lot of issues on himself, which I believe is definitely partially true,” Pankow tells The Hollywood Reporter of why JJ hasn’t appeared to be taught his lesson with regards to performing with out pondering. “There’s quite a lot of issues which might be his fault. Now, does he address that accurately? No, he doesn’t cope, and he tries to right it, and I believe he overcorrects it.”
Regardless of his poor choices at occasions, Madison Bailey‘s Kiara by no means fails to be on his aspect as his now-girlfriend and greatest buddy.
“She sees him in a method that perhaps he doesn’t even notice that she sees him. I believe he’s nonetheless perhaps a little bit like, partitions constructed up, and Kiara is rather like, ‘You don’t have partitions for me,’” she tells THR. “I simply suppose she has a comfortable spot for him. I believe she understands what he’s been via and doesn’t maintain it towards him, as a result of it will be unfair to carry it towards him. I believe she simply, on the finish of the day, actually loves him.”

In the meantime, John B and Pope try to resolve one other thriller, with regards to Blackbeard’s mysterious blue crown, one of many hidden treasures of the British pirate. However nothing can ever be simple for the Outer Banks crew.
They’re not the one ones in search of the treasure — as a result of, in fact, they’re not.
Early in Half One, the Pogues received a go to from an ominous determine, who followers later got here to know as Lightner (Rigo Sanchez), a mercenary additionally in search of Blackbeard’s treasure. The buddies have a number of run-ins with him, one in all which nearly received Kiara and JJ killed, and later, Cleo as nicely.
Episode 5 then noticed many of the group head to Charleston in hopes of discovering Blackbeard’s treasure. Lightner and his mysterious boss, Dalia (Pollyanna McIntosh), get to the map inside a crypt under an outdated church earlier than the Pogues do. Lightner and Dalia escape, unknowingly leaving Pope and Sarah to drown within the crypt because it begins to refill as a result of rainfall.
Earlier than the mercenaries get away, John B has a shot at Lightner, however is stopped in his tracks when he has a flashback to when Huge John (Charles Halford) shot a few of Singh’s (Andy McQueen) males in season three proper in entrance of his son.

“He’s seen his father pull the set off or do the worst-case situation,” Stokes tells THR of why his character is unable to undergo with it. “So, I believe John B has a second of true humanity and acknowledgment of the trail that he began to go down. And I believe this entire first half is de facto about him going from being actually hesitant to get into it to then the dedication, after which realizing that perhaps he’s turning into the individual he advised himself he would by no means be, which is a model of his father.”
Within the crypt, issues are trying grim for Pope and Sarah, who’re trapped under floor with seemingly no method out. Davis and Cline recall filming the scene and having comparable reactions to it as their characters did — Pope was calm, cool and picked up for essentially the most half, whereas Sarah was freaking out.
“It performed precisely the way it seems. Maddie was in there. She was not glad. The water, even whenever you land inside, it’s like dripping, so it’s freezing chilly,” the Do Revenge actor says. “It was enjoyable to do as a result of it actually felt like I used to be filming an Indiana Jones [movie] or one thing like that. I used to be like, ‘That is like what it’s prefer to be on like these sort of units.’”
The Glass Onion: A Knives Out Thriller actress, alternatively, was having a foul time.
“I really feel like I’ve made it fairly clear that I get claustrophobic very simply. After which I present as much as set, and I take a look at what we have now to crawl via, and I’m like, ‘Guys, we talked about this,’” she says. “It felt like a social experiment, for certain. … I didn’t go with flying colours. I handed with strolling colours. JD was superior to movie that with. He was the calm, and I used to be the not. And I’m very, very grateful for him.”
Again on Determine Eight, Rafe (Drew Starkey) is maybe contemplating turning over a brand new leaf and making amends together with his sister, Sarah, after years of them being at one another’s throats. However it’s going to be an extended street forward for the Cameron siblings; it’s not simple to maneuver previous the truth that your brother nearly drowned you.
Regardless of Sarah being eager for some form of reconciliation, they’ve quite a lot of historical past and, most of it no less than just lately, has been very darkish and traumatic for each of them.
“I undoubtedly suppose that Rafe blames her for the dying of their dad, and I believe she is aware of that,” Cline says. “I believe she feels quite a lot of guilt as a result of I really feel like she looks like lots of people blame her for his dying. It’s all very heavy and method too heavy for only a single dialog. It’s one thing that has to occur over time.”
In terms of the Kooks’ favourite unhealthy boy, Rafe, followers have seemingly been ready for him to perform a little higher and never be as horrible as he has been previously. Starkey, who performs the character, explains these self-improvements have to return with time and development.
“He’s maturing. I additionally suppose shedding his father is a big motivator,” the Queer star tells THR. “I believe he’s accepting some accountability, and I believe he realizes how alone he’s, and he desires to fix bridges and construct connections once more. So yeah, I don’t suppose he’s ever been capable of absolutely specific [himself], and he’s nonetheless struggling to specific that in a sure method.”
Whereas quite a lot of issues appeared to go downhill for the Pogues within the first half of this season (it’s a drama sequence, in spite of everything), there was one shining mild — love. All six of the youngsters are in relationships and one couple, particularly, stood out: Pope and Cleo.

The 2 laid the groundwork for a relationship over the course of the earlier two seasons and at last made issues official within the closing episode of season three when Cleo tells Pope she quits the “No-Love Membership” they fashioned earlier within the season.
Davis shares that bringing Pope and Cleo’s love story to life in Half One has been “wonderful,” as has working alongside Carlacia Grant, who has grow to be a “actually, actually good buddy.”
“Having the ability to sort of convey ourselves into these characters extra, to discover extra moments with one another, we didn’t get quite a lot of that season three, however I really feel like this season we actually received a great alternative to discover the relationships between these characters and actually flesh it out onscreen,” he says. “So it felt like a pure evolution of the place we left off within the third season. It felt like they had been in a extremely great place. It was a pleasure to have the ability to do this.”
Regardless of becoming a member of Outer Banks in season two, Grant notes that everybody welcomed and supported her, as they helped her make the perfect character attainable.
“This group was only a actually good group, as a result of we’re all actually associates, and that actually, I believe, bleeds onscreen,” she says of the forged’s dynamic in actual life. “And simply to have the assist group of like individuals who I take into account associates, it made it an incredible expertise. And the joys of the experience is enjoyable, nevertheless it’s additionally enjoyable when you’ve your pals with you.”
Outer Banks season 4, Half One is streaming now on Netflix. Half Two drops on Nov. 7.
Whereas Outer Banks stars Chase Stokes, Jonathan Daviss (JD), Rudy Pankow and Drew Starkey are having fun with all of the success they’ve seen from the present, it’s nonetheless not with out its challenges.
Forward of the premiere of the Netflix present’s fourth season, the actors not too long ago opened up in a joint interview for the quilt of Cosmopolitan about navigating their public and private lives on-line and the damaging sides of social media.
“Each technology goes by means of an invasion of privateness if you grow to be a public determine,” Daviss stated. “You would like, as an artist, individuals would have interaction within the artwork and you would have who you’re to your self. However now it’s about attempting to determine who you’re and what issues it’s essential to hold private versus what issues you possibly can throw on social media.”
It’s a steadiness that may typically be laborious to search out, particularly when on-line trolls begin to goal buddies and family members. Pankow beforehand needed to publicly defend his girlfriend, Elaine Siemek, in 2021 as a result of harassment she was receiving on-line.
“I feel lots of people can intertwine a story and what they need to imagine. They usually take it out on somebody that doesn’t deserve it. That’s unlucky and it’s laborious. And what’s much more unlucky is that it’s not in my management,” Pankow stated of his motive for talking out. “Nobody ought to undergo one thing like that. And that’s why social media is so difficult, as a result of typically it may possibly implement a story of a present as an precise narrative. For instance, what we’re recording is supposed to be consumed within the present. However some individuals would possibly take it as literal.”
Stokes pressured that folks want to grasp and acknowledge the distinction between “fictional characters” and the “people that created them.” He added, “We’re in a time the place you’re seeing a TikTok that’s of the fictional character, and then you definately’re seeing a model of the nonfictional character. So the traces are actually skewed.”
It’s additionally one of many the explanation why Starkey limits his presence on social media. “It may be actually merciless,” he famous. “I’m an extremely delicate particular person.”
Regardless of the negatives, there are nonetheless loads of positives to the communities they’ve constructed with their followers on-line. Pankow stated it’s good seeing that “this many individuals appreciated what you made.”
However it can be difficult for an actor when the vast majority of their fanbase is from a particular challenge. “Your relationship to the viewers is intertwined with these characters that we’ve been enjoying,” Starkey defined, which “could make leaping out of this world scarier.”
Outer Banks season 4, half one, additionally starring Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey and Carlacia Grant, hits Netflix Oct. 10. The second half premieres Nov. 7.
Drew Starkey was a day into rehearsals for Luca Guadagnino‘s Queer when he discovered himself rolling across the flooring in a sweaty clinch with Daniel Craig.
“We jumped into it, simply grabbing and throwing our our bodies on prime of each other, rolling round, getting intermingled,” Starkey recollects, “I believe it unlocked one thing subconsciously, gave us a degree of comfortability and familiarity with one another, in order that, the whole lot after that was very straightforward.”
What got here after was a few of the most graphic and intimate scenes Starkey has ever placed on display. Guadagnino’s adaptation of the William S. Burroughs’ novel —written within the early ‘50s however not printed till 1985 — sees Craig enjoying an American expat and heroin addict (Burroughs in lightly-fictionalized type) lolling about Mexico Metropolis who turns into obsessive about Eugene (Starkly), a younger pupil whose sexual ambiguity makes him all of the extra mysterious and fascinating. What follows is a tortured story of unrequited love and sometimes requited lust. With a good variety of express moments.
The movie premiered at Venice and can also be screening at Toronto. Reviewers have commented on how far Craig’s efficiency lies from his most well-known flip as James Bond. But it surely’s as large a soar for the 30-year-old Starkey who, till now, was finest identified for teen-slanting fare like Love, Simon and The Hate You Give, or for enjoying Rafe Cameron within the Netflix journey collection Outer Banks. His flip in Queer is one other factor totally. The movie was picked up forward of its premiere on the Venice Movie Pageant by A24, which is planning a launch later this yr. It’s sure to attract a brand new fanbase to Staff Starkey.
“[Starkey] quietly sizzles within the high-waisted trousers and knit shirts of the time,” THR wrote in its breathless assessment of Queer. “Eugene wears his preppy wardrobe with a pure panache about which he appears oblivious.”

It’s a good distance from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains the place Starkey was born and raised — “my favourite place on earth. I adore it and miss it dearly” — the oldest of 4 and son of a school basketball coach and college counselor. “I had no direct connection to filmmaking, to motion pictures or theater,” he notes. He “type of stumbled” into performing whereas learning at Western Carolina College, becoming a member of their stage and display program. “I discovered rather a lot, I failed rather a lot, however I nonetheless had no inclination of how you can step into performing in motion pictures or tv.” After commencement, Starkely received an agent, moved to Atlanta, Georgia, and “began auditioning like loopy.” Slowly, the roles began coming. Initially, they have been largely blink-and-you-miss-them elements with generic character names — ‘playing solider’ in an episode of PBS collection Mercy Avenue, ‘frat boy’ in Bart Layton’s American Animals.
“The turning level I believe was Love, Simon and The Hate You Give (each 2018),” says Starkey. (Although within the latter, his character, “cop” nonetheless doesn’t have a reputation.) “These have been two motion pictures that have been actually validating for me. However each job was an enormous step ahead. I keep in mind doing one scene in Ozark (enjoying ‘boy’) proper out of school. I didn’t know what the present was, however I knew it was Netflix. And I used to be like, ‘Wow, I suppose I can do a Netflix present.’”
He received the job in Queer virtually by chance when one other director, who had seen Starkey audition for an additional function, handed his tape to Guadagnino.
“I received a name from my agent who mentioned: ‘Luca Guadagnino needs to have breakfast with you,’” he recollects. “So I had breakfast with him, and we talked about our lives, we talked in regards to the climate, and we talked about Los Angeles, and he introduced up this venture that he’s been engaged on and requested if I may put a number of scenes on tape.”
Extra months, extra meals, and extra conversations later, he received the decision. He was in.

Starkey knew the supply materials. Type of.
“I type of half-read, or pretended to learn Junkie in highschool and pretended to grasp what it meant,” he says. “With the Beat Technology, I actually linked with Allen Ginsburg and Jack Kerouac, these sorts of cats. However I knew about Burroughs, and his affect throughout all types of mediums, punk rock and artwork. He’s type of the godfather of this technology”
However enjoying Eugene “was very daunting at first, the function scared me,” says Starkey, “as a result of it was totally different than a lot of the characters I’ve performed. There’s a lot subtlety and delicacy to it. It was an actual problem as a result of nobody can learn him, nobody understands him, least of all (Craig’s character) Lee. So it was my job to attempt, as finest I may, to grasp what was happening inside this man.”
The confusion and (sexual) ambiguity in Eugene, says Starkey, can also be a mirrored image of the time “when (homosexual males) didn’t actually have a language to outline themselves.”
The movie’s erotic scenes may appear surprising to some, however Starkey took them in stride.
“I believe as American audiences, we could be very uptight about that stuff, intercourse scenes, no matter, which is unusual,” he says, “It feels just a little prudish to be like ‘ooh if that’s in a film that taboo’ but when it’s on our telephones, it’s advantageous. [I’m glad] sexuality is coming again to the theaters as a result of I believe it’s crucial we combine sexuality into our tales, it’s the best way to raised perceive ourselves. You be taught a lot about an individual by wanting on the manner they’re intimate with each other.”
And if that individual is Daniel Craig, it’s finest to only get sweaty and begin wrestling.
“Rolling round on the ground with somebody, the second day you met, is a fairly good option to get to know them.”
