North Carolina teacher files lawsuit against Netflix’s ‘Outer Banks’ Marwa Hamad, Senior Reporter
A high school English teacher in North Carolina is suing Netflix’s ‘Outer Banks’, claiming copyright infringement.
The creative writing instructor and author, Kevin Wooten, alleges that showrunners Jonas Pate, Joshua Pate and Shannon Burke stole the plot of ‘Outer Banks’ from his young adult novel ‘Pennywise: The Hunt for Blackbeard’s Treasure!’ (2016), which is also set in the outer banks of North Carolina.
“The Series is strikingly similar to the Novel in its plot, locations, protagonists, antagonists, and scenes,” alleges Wooten in his lawsuit, shared by Deadline.
