[Chase Stokes] There isn't a world of ‘Outer Banks’ without the people who watch it. We wouldn't be here.

[Chase Stokes as John B] We were gonna live the good life, the simple life.
[Chase Stokes] I remember, Season 2, we were shooting in downtown Charleston. 1,500 to 2,000 people showed up. It started as a normal day, and then the Charleston Police Department had to show up and do crowd control. Working in Barbados and even in Morocco, you go to these places that you don't even think the show reaches. And then hundreds and hundreds if not a thousand people show up just to get a glimpse of what's going on.

[Drew Starkey as Rafe Cameron] If you got something to say, say it to my face.
[Drew Starkey] It's always a shock going to different places in the world and … and having people come up to you and say that they watch the show. To be in some remote town in Serbia or rural Italy or something and, like, people still have seen it. I don't think I'll ever get used to that.

[Madison Bailey as Kiera] Having fun?
[Madison Bailey] I really love when we have fans visit the set. We've had a lot of incredible, beautiful people visit the set and hang out with us over the seasons.

[Carlacia Grant as Cleo] Incoming!
[Carlacia Grant] We'll see, like, friends group, like, take photos or tell experiences. And they're just like, "I know JJ" or "I know Cleo" or, you know, "Your friendship keeps our friends together."
[Madison Bailey] A lot of really good interactions.
[CLIP]
[Jonathan Daviss as Pope]I think we can have that again right here.
[Jonathan Daviss] It's always interesting when somebody who you don't expect to watch the show watches the show. I got approached by Kevin Hart at a Lakers game once. That was crazy. Him and his daughter watch the show. I've been a fan of his, you know, forever.

[Madelyn Cline as Sarah] First dollar of our first-ever sale.
[Madelyn Cline] I still get a little surprised and shocked and excited. The amount of love that people have for the show and continue to have means a lot.
[CLIP]
[Madison Bailey as Kiera] I love you.
[Madison Bailey] I always love the people that I've met twice, which happens a lot here. It's like, "Oh, we go way back. I know you." "You're my friend at this point." There are people that I've met, like, three or four times.
[Rudy Pankow] It meant a lot to see the support coming for JJ and letting me know as an actor, "OK, you're doing something very important."
[Jonathan Daviss as Pope] That'll do it. That'll do it!
[Chase Stokes] If it wasn't for people tuning in and making the TikToks and posting on social media and coming up to us in public and saying how much the show has been a component of their life over the last five years.
[Drew Starkey] The most gratifying feeling in the world is to see how people have connected with the show in a way.
[Jonathan Daviss] It's been a blessing to play this character. All I've ever wanted to do my whole life was act, and I did not expect when I signed on that it would do what it did, but, like, I'm happy to see that it has.
[Carlacia Grant] Thank you guys for watching. Thank you so much for supporting us.
[Rudy Pankow] Thank you.
[Madison Bailey] Thank you so much. Like, thank you for appreciating this thing that we love so, so much.
