If there’s one thing that unites all teen TV shows, it’s consistently casting people who are way too old to play high schoolers. Riverdale, One Tree Hill, and even Stranger Things have all fallen victim to this trend, boasting a lineup of beefy, chiseled actors who are supposed to be 15 years old. And Outer Banks is no exception.
OBX season 4 part 2 drops on Netflix November 7, and if you’re like me, you’re going down every rabbit hole to find out as much as possible about your favorite Pogues, which is why I scoured the internet to figure out the actors’ ages — and how they compare to their character ages (including the cast member that’s almost TWICE their character’s age). Keep reading for the full scoop!
