You might be surprised to learn that while
Outer Bankstakes place on the barrier islands off the coast of North Carolina, the show isn’t actually filmed there.
Co-creator Jonas Pate originally envisioned filming
Banks in Wilmington, North Carolina, where he spent a lot of time as a child and where he now lives with his wife and kids. While writing the script for season one with his brother Josh and their fellow co-writer Shannon Burke, the trio were confident that Wilmington would be the perfect place to film their action-adventure series. Netflix, however, had other plans.
