Go ahead and throw away all preconceived notions about the definition of "squad goals," because the Outer Banks [1] cast have given a whole new meaning to the term. The young actors who star as the main Pogues [2] on the binge-worthy Netflix series — Chase Stokes (John B), Madison Bailey [3] (Kiara [4]), Jonathan Daviss (Pope), Rudy Pankow (JJ), and honourary Pogue Madelyn Cline (Sarah [5]) — share a pretty rad real-life bond with their Kook counterparts — Austin North (Topper), Drew Starkey (Rafe), and Deion Smith (Kelce).
Take a scroll through their Instagram accounts [6], and you'll be blessed with countless goofy selfies, behind-the-scenes videos, and on and off set snaps guaranteed to leave you feeling a tinge of envy. Jonathan summed it up perfectly when he captioned a group photo [7]: "Everywhere we go it's a party." To help other Outer Banks [8] fans get in on the party from home, I've taken on the arduous task of tracking down every photo and video of the cast hanging out together IRL — it was a tough job, but hey, someone had to do it. Check out all fun pictures ahead. Oh, and one last word to the cast: if you're looking for a new addition to your crew, you know where to find me.
