Whenever you watch a teen drama series like Outer Banks, one of the top questions on your mind has to be: How old are these “kids” in real life?

Even though the Netflix original hit series Outer Banks is rated TV-MA, the mature content of the series doesn’t ignore the fact the story is very much based around young teenagers still coming of age and figuring it all out.

The cast of Outer Banks includes rising stars like Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Rudy Pankow and more, and the series will welcome some new faces in its third season.

Before we head back to the Outer Banks of North Carolina with John B and his friends in OBX season 3 and get answers to all of our most burning questions, let’s get one of the biggest questions out of the way. What are the Outer Banks cast ages?

How old is Chase Stokes in Outer Banks?

As the leader of the Pogues, John B’s friends look to him for guidance — even though they are the same age. However, Chase Stokes is far older than the character he plays. Stokes was born on Sept. 16 1992, which makes the fearless Pogue leader 30 years old as of February 2023.

How old is Madelyn Cline in Outer Banks?

Even though Chase Stokes happens to be just over a decade older than his OBX character, his on-screen (but not off-screen) girlfriend Madelyn Cline isn’t much older than her Kook counterpart Sarah Cameron. Cline was born on Dec. 21, 1997, making the Glass Onion star 25 years old.

How old is Madison Bailey in Outer Banks?

Kiara, or “Kie” as she’s known by her best friends, might be the scrappiest of the Pogues, but that doesn’t mean her baby-faced portrayer is the same age as the determined teen. Madison Bailey was born on Jan. 29, 1999, which makes the young talent 24 in real life.

How old is Jonathan Daviss in Outer Banks?

Of all his Pogues friends, Pope is definitely the wisest beyond his years and the definite moral center of the group. Jonathan Daviss brings the relatable Pope to life and was born on Feb. 28, 1999, making him 22 years old. But just a few days after OBX3 comes out, he will turn 23.

How old is Rudy Pankow in Outer Banks?

Even though the OBX cast isn’t made up of the teens they play onscreen, they are each around the same age. Like Bailey and Daviss, Rudy Pankow, who plays the loyal and absolutely lovable JJ, is also 24 years old as of February 2023, having been born on Aug. 12, 1998.

How old is Austin North in Outer Banks?

Playing Topper, the ringleader of the mean Kook group and the ex-boyfriend of Sarah Cameron, Austin North got his start on the Disney Channel before landing the Netflix teen drama. North is the third oldest of the cast at 26, having been born on July 30, 1996. Fun fact: Austin turned 25 on the day Outer Banks season 2 released in 2021.

How old is Drew Starkey in Outer Banks?

By far the most problematic character in OBX (no shade to Drew Starkey, pictured above left), Rafe Cameron is the older brother of Cline’s Sarah and just an all-around not-great guy. However, Starkey’s definitely the opposite. At 29, the actor is the third oldest in the cast, behind Carlacia Grant and Stokes, having been born on Nov. 4, 1993.

How old is Carlacia Grant in Outer Banks?

A new cast member who joined the Pogues in season 2, Carlacia Grant plays the fearless and tenacious Cleo. She becomes a seemingly reluctant, then fully supportive, member of the group and returns for season 3. Grant was born on Jan. 18, 1991, making her 32 years old as of February 2023 and the oldest member of the young cast.

Outer Banks season 2 starts streaming on Friday, July 30 only on Netflix.
