The season 4 premiere of the hit Netflix show Outer Banks is just a few days away and we couldn't be more excited for all the treasure hunts, love triangles and teenage shenanigans to come (eek!). At a recent event with Brooks Running to celebrate the launch of their brand-new running shoe, the Glycerin Max, I had a chance to sit down with John B himself: 32-year-old actor Chase Stokes. In anticipation of the return to his breakout role, here's everything he had to say.

Season 3 of Outer Banks ends with an 18-month time jump and a potential new treasure hunt on the horizon. Though little is revealed about what happens during that passage of time, the Pogues appear to finally have gotten a break, reveling in a slower pace and higher tax bracket thanks to their miraculous discovery of El Dorado, the city of gold.
