It’s been a long time since the break-out series Outer Banks appeared on Netflix.
In fact, not only has it not been on our screens for what feels like yonks but Season 3 was originally announced on December 8, 2021! Yup, just over a year ago!
Now, with the third instalment finally premiering on February 23, here’s everything you need to know, including who is in the cast, what happened in Season Two and what we can expect next.
What happened in Season Two of Outer Banks?
At the end of Outer Banks‘ second season, fans were thrilled to find that a lot of their lingering questions had been answered. Most notably that Sarah (Madelyn Cline) and John B (Chase Stokes) survived their stormy journey.
The couple reunites with the Pogues to continue their treasure hunt, clear John B’s name, and find the Cross of Santo Domingo.
The season ended with a thrilling boat heist, with Sarah being kidnapped by her own family. The Pogues then hid out in a shipping container in hopes of saving her and a fight ensued.
After escaping onto a smaller boat, they were forced to leave the Cross in the hands of murderous father-son duo Rafe (Drew Starkey) and Ward (Charles Esten) and ended up on a small island they named ‘Poguelandia’.
Carla (Elizabeth Mitchell), who is in Barbados, meets a mysterious man who turned out to be John B’s long-lost father (Charles Halford)…and he’s not dead!
John B says that he can help her get what she wants, in exchange for helping his son.
What’s Season Three of Outer Banks about?
The official synopsis for Season Three reads: After losing the gold and fleeing the Outer Banks, Season Three finds the Pogues washed ashore on a desert island that, for a brief moment, seems like an idyllic home.
Officially deemed “Poguelandia,” the island’s newest residents spend their days fishing, swimming, and reveling in the carefree lifestyle of their temporary dwelling.
But things quickly go south for John B, Sarah, Kiara (Madison Bailey), Pope (Jonathan Daviss), JJ (Rudy Pankow), and Cleo (Carlacia Grant) when they find themselves once again caught up in a race for the treasure, quite literally running for their lives. T
hey’re broke and far from home, they can’t trust anyone, Ward and Rafe are hungry for revenge, and there’s a ruthless Caribbean Don who will stop at nothing to find the bounty.
Was the treasure ever within their reach? Or was it all a trap to stop them once and for all? Either way, it’s the Pogues against the world – and the only way out is together.
