Netflix released the latest batch of episodes in the popular teen drama “Outer Banks” on Thursday, Nov. 7, which culminates in a search for a treasure called the Blue Crown during the season four finale. And while the main characters of the show travel far from North Carolina to try and find the pirate treasure, the crown itself came from Chapel Hill.

Local jeweler William Travis Kukovich, who runs William Travis Jewelry on Fordham Boulevard in Chapel Hill, was hired to custom-make the Blue Crown for “Outer Banks” and shared the details of the project on Tuesday.

“We’ve designed complex pieces for film and TV before, and Netflix knew they could rely on us to create something worthy of the series,” Kukovich said in a media release.

In the show, the Blue Crown is one of the treasures belonging to the famed pirate Blackbeard, and the “Outer Banks” characters are racing to find the artifact by using a scroll describing its location. The season finale sees the main characters travel to Morocco as part of the hunt and the crown makes an appearance in the dramatic final minutes.

This is not the first time there has been a Chapel Hill connection with the smash hit from Netflix. In season one, the show brought “Outer Banks” characters to a fictionalized version of the college town to talk with an expert working at UNC — a scene that caught local attention for its editing suggesting it was possible to take a ferry all the way from the coastal islands to Chapel Hill. Season three of the series also caught a lot of Tar Heels’ attention when UNC men’s basketball star Armando Bacot made a cameo appearance in an episode. Both of the references partially stem from two of the show’s three co-creators, Josh Pate and Shannon Burke, being UNC alumni.
