Madelyn Cline has successfully made the leap from television to film actor thanks to her roles in “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” and 2025’s “I Know What You Did Last Summer” legacy sequel. But her calling card at this point is still breaking hearts on the small screen as Sarah Cameron on “Outer Banks.” The production specifically wanted to avoid casting “theater kids” and instead focused on actors who genuinely felt like adventure-seeking kids in North Carolina. Cline, as it were, fit the bill perfectly as a native to the state who embodies Sarah, joining forces with local working-class teenagers who seek out treasure.
The show will return for a fifth and final season, but given the popularity of “Outer Banks” on Netflix, there’s always the question of whether the story could continue in some other form, like a spin-off or legacy sequel series. While chatting with Screen Rant, Cline sounded game for returning in whatever capacity the production will have her:
Of course, Madelyn Cline returning for any future “Outer Banks” projects is dependent on Sarah Cameron not dying in the final season. Between the Pogues, the Kooks, and law enforcement, things get treacherous quickly on the series, and characters have bitten the dust before, most notably JJ Maybank (Rudy Pankow) in the season 4 finale. No matter what happens, though, Netflix and the show’s creators seem very interested in keeping the drama going.
