Rudy Pankow reveals how he wants 'Outer Banks' finale to end

Rudy Pankow has opened up about his ideal Outer Banks series finale ending.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the 28-year-old actor reflected on being a part of the show.

When asked 'what it feels like to be a part of the legacy of the show' despite no longer being a part of it, Rudy shared that it meant a lot to him.

"It means a lot," he quipped. "We did something great. I think a lot of people connected to that show and still do and I think that’s just a sense of pride for myself."

The Uncharted actor was then asked how he would 'hope to see it all wrap up,' he replied with supporting the Pogue life.

"I hope it ends with a very Pogue ending that maybe to the fans," he playfully said.

Continuing, "I really hope it is a surprising ending but it is a Pogue ending; where it’s kind of like 'I didn’t see that one coming but that’s Pogue life.'"

Although a date hasn’t been announced yet, it is expected the hit Netflix series Outer Banks’ fifth and final season will be released this year. However, fans will not be able to see Rudy as JJ as he won’t be returning to the show for the season finale.
