Outer Banks is the latest hit teen drama from Netflix. Like other Netflix hits Stranger Things and Elite, it has a cast of mostly young newcomers who have the potential to become big stars.
Who is in the cast of Outer Banks on Netflix?
John B—Chase Stokes
John B actor Chase Stokes' highest-profile role so far came when he appeared in a Season 1 episode of Stranger Things. However, he is also soon set to appear in Tell Me Your Secrets, a TNT show where he will star alongside Outer Banks co-star Charles Esten.
Speaking to Refinery29, the 27-year-old actor said that he is like John B. in real life. He said, "I've always been a little bit of a wild child, a rebellious soul, [and] ultimately the thing that I relate to with John B. is his love for others."
Sarah—Madelyn Cline
Madelyn Cline, 22, is also a Stranger Things alum, playing Tina, the Halloween party host at the start of Season 2. She has also had recurring guest star roles in Vice Principals and The Originals and appeared in the gay conversion movie Boy Erased.
Speaking to Glamour, she said of her Outer Banks character: "I feel in a lot of ways I relate to Sarah because we are both from the South and I feel, shooting this, I kind of fell back in love with the South.
"There are a lot of lessons I feel Sarah learns in the first season about finding her voice when she feels something isn't right, going against the grain and standing up for what she believes in, versus what she's told to believe in. That's something that I definitely can relate to."
Kiara—Madison Bailey
Prior to Outer Banks, 20-year-old Madison Bailey was probably best known for playing metahuman Wendy Hernandez on The CW's Black Lightning. Now, she plays Kiara, a member of the Pogues who is hugely suspicious of Sarah. Speaking to Popsugar, the actor explained: "We're so hesitant with Sarah because we want to protect each other so badly."
Pope—Jonathan Daviss
Pope in Outer Banks is Jonathan Daviss' biggest role to date, though the 20-year-old has appeared in indie movies Age of Summer and Edge of the World. Speaking to VIPAccess, the actor described his character as "the brains, the smartest kid in the group. He warns of the danger, but he finds himself in it anyway. He can be a little impulsive sometimes, even though he likes to think things out. He's sort of the guy you go to when a plan needs to be made."
JJ—Rudy Pankow
Rudy Pankow, 21, plays JJ after a brief appearance in fellow Netflix show The Politician and in the music video for the Muse song "Thought Contagion."
Topper—Austin North
A former Disney Channel star, 23-year-old Austin North appeared in the channel's comedy I Didn't Do It, as well as the Hulu Original All Night.
Ward Cameron—Charles Esten
The father of Sarah and Rafe, who has a major role in Outer Banks' plot, is Ward Cameron, played by actor Charles Esten. Previously a series lead of Nashville, the actor, 54, has also had arcs on Jessie, Enlightened and Big Love.
Rafe—Drew Starkey
His son Rafe, meanwhile, is portrayed by Drew Starkey. He has previously made appearances in Netflix shows like Ozark and Dolly Parton's Heartstrings, appeared in moves like Just Mercy, The Hate U Give and Love, Simon and appeared in a number of episodes of the TV version of Scream.
