According to the trailer, the Pogues have been enjoying the spoils of their gold, building “Poguelandia 2.0” in Kildare. However, their money seems to run out quickly, and the six teenagers are thrown into another adventure that is more dangerous than they expected.

“We wanted to live the good life, the simple life, treasure hunting was a thing of the past,” John B recounts in the announcement. “But what we didn’t know then was that nothing stands still.”

In April 2024, Stokes told PEOPLE that season four was “one of the [his] favorite season” and that this time there was a real focus on the authenticity of the characters.

“Whenever you experience loss, it hits spaces and places you don’t expect,” he said. “Being in the situation that John B and Sarah are in, it’s going to really force them to evaluate everything.”

He continued: “Where are they, what is their purpose, what are their intentions and what is the real value of it? Was it worth it, in hindsight? If they could go back and change things, would they? Or would you feel okay with that?”
