Netflix’s young adult drama series Outer Banks, which was filmed in Charleston County, South Carolina and set locally, has officially been renewed for a second season.

The cast expressed their excitement in fun video compilation posted on Instagram, which you can watch below.
Set in the fictional Kildare County on the Outer Banks, the show was created by Raeford, North Carolina native twins Jonas and Josh Pate. It follows the adventures John B., played by Chase Stokes, and his tight-knit group of friends, played by Rudy Pankow as J.J., Jonathan Daviss as Pope, Madelyn Cline as Sara, and Kernersville, North Carolina native Madison Bailey (Black Lightning, Creepshow) as Kiara.
The cast also includes Charles Esten as Ward Cameron, Drew Starkey as Rafe, Austin North as Topper, Julia Antonelli as Wheezie, Cullen Moss as Deputy Shoupe, and Adina Porter, who previously starred in another series set in a fictional version of the Outer Banks in American Horror Story: Roanoke (which was also not filmed locally though it took place on Roanoke Island), as Sheriff Peterkin.
