In ‘Outer Banks’ Season 4, Part 2, which hit Netflix on November 7, 2024, fans got a huge surprise: Sarah Cameron (Madelyn Cline) is pregnant—with John B’s (Chase Stokes) baby! This twist caught everyone off guard, especially since Sarah, a 19-year-old on the run and fully wrapped up in treasure hunting, has always been unsure about having kids.
Besides the “messed up” audio on Netflix, Sarah’s pregnancy is currently one of the biggest topics in the show. Fans are also curious if Madelyn Cline, the actress, might be expecting too. Here’s what you need to know.
‘Outer Banks’ Season 4: Madelyn Cline Takes Sarah in a New Direction with a Surprise Pregnancy Twist
In Part 1, Sarah shut down John B’s idea of starting a family, saying they were way too young for that kind of responsibility. But by Episode 7 in Part 2, Sarah finds out she’s unexpectedly pregnant, which shakes things up as she and John B get thrown into this life-changing situation right in the middle of all their wild adventures.
This reveal’s definitely got fans split. Some are totally onboard, seeing it as a big, emotional step for Sarah and John B after everything they’ve been through. Others? They’re a little confused, especially since Sarah was pretty much against it just a few episodes ago. But co-creators Jonas and Josh Pate, along with Shannon Burke, think it fits with how the characters have grown, considering all the breakups, makeups, and close calls Sarah and John B have had.
So, what does this mean for the show’s fifth and final season? Well, Sarah might start thinking twice about those crazy stunts to keep herself and the baby safe. And her pregnancy adds a bittersweet twist: she and John B wanted their late friend JJ to be the baby’s godfather, hinting they might even name the baby after him—a sweet way to keep JJ’s memory alive with the crew.
Overall, this storyline could totally change the vibe of the show, setting up Sarah and John B not just as the iconic ‘Outer Banks’ duo, but as soon-to-be parents, opening up a whole new chapter for the Pogues as they start looking to the next generation.
No, Madelyn Cline Is Not Pregnant!
The internet’s been going wild with fans wondering if ‘Outer Banks’ star Madelyn Cline is pregnant in real life after her character, Sarah Cameron, had a surprise pregnancy reveal in Season 4, Part 2. But just to clear things up—it’s Sarah who’s expecting, not Madelyn!
If you look at Madelyn’s recent Instagram posts, there’s no sign of a baby bump, and nothing on her socials or in her recent appearances hints at her being pregnant. Plus, Season 5 filming hasn’t even kicked off yet, so there’s no way they’d be adding a real-life pregnancy into the show.
This twist is just for Sarah’s storyline, added by the writers to dive into her rollercoaster journey with John B. So, for everyone wondering—don’t overthink it. It’s all about the drama on ‘Outer Banks,’ not Madelyn’s real life!
Fun fact: ‘Outer Banks’ stars Chase Stokes (John B) and Madelyn Cline (Sarah Cameron) actually dated in real life, too! They made it official in June 2020 after fans had been speculating for a while. They were together for over a year, sharing plenty of cute moments on social media that fans loved, especially since their on-screen chemistry was already amazing. But by late 2021, news broke that they had split.
Since they split up, fans have often praised how professional they are on-screen. Even with all the cheating rumors in the media, the two have stayed good friends.
‘Outer Banks’ Season 4 Part 2 is now streaming on Netflix, and Season 5—the final season—is expected to arrive in late 2025 or maybe even 2026.
