To save her, JJ hands over the crown, only to have Chandler stab him in the stomach for leaving him in the desert. JJ then dies in Kiara’s arms, after telling her he loves her one more time. (Once again, ouch!)

But heartbreaking as it is, JJ’s death will not be in vain, acting as the catalyst for the quest for revenge the rest of the Pogues are sure to embark on in the show’s fifth installment.

A fifth season that will also be the show’s last, according to creators Shannon Burke, Jonas Pate and Josh Pate.

“From this beginning, we imagined a mystery that would lead to a five-season journey of adventure, treasure hunting, and friendship," the trio wrote in a Nov. 4 statement shared to the series’ social media. "At the time, seven years ago, it seemed impossible that we would really get to tell the whole five season story, but here we are, at the end of our fourth season, still chopping away."
