Real Ages of 'Outer Banks' Cast Vs. Their Characters

The main character of "Outer Banks" is John B., a 17-year-old living on his own after the death of his father.

The disappearance of John B.'s dad is what sets him on the path to the Bahamas in search of literal buried treasure.

Chase Stokes, who plays John B., is actually 30.

He's more than a decade older than his teenage character.

John B.'s main love interest is 16-year-old Sarah Cameron. She's known as a "Kook," or a rich person in the Outer Banks.

While Sarah's family may be elitist and, in some cases, downright evil, Sarah is able to escape all that to find love with John B. and his friends, the "Pogues."

Kiara, or Kie, is the only female member of John B.'s group of friends, known as the "Pogues." She's 16, too.

Kiara's parents own a restaurant in the Outer Banks, which sometimes means that she gets dragged to Kook events, like the Midsummer party in episode five of season one.

Sarah starts the show dating Topper, a fellow 16-year-old Kook.

Perhaps you remember when an audio of Sarah telling Topper, "No, you don't, Topper. You love the idea of me, you love being seen with me, but you don't love me," went viral on TikTok.
