Netflix Renews 'Outer Banks' for Season 3
The Pogues are officially coming back with another mystery and surely more love triangles.
Pack your go bag and gas up the van because Netflix just renewed Outer Banks for a third season of treasure hunting and teen romances.
The hit teen drama premiered in April 2020 with shocking success. The series follows John B. Routledge (Chase Stokes) and his friends, who call themselves "Pogues," JJ (Rudy Pankow), Kiara (Madison Bailey), Pope (Jonathan Daviss), and Sarah (Madelyn Cline) as they embark on a journey to find long-buried treasure on their coastal North Carolina island. The first season ended with John B and Sarah fleeing to the Bahamas after Sarah's father Ward stole their gold and framed John B for murder (which was actually committed by Sarah's brother Rafe).
However, Season 2, which dropped in July of this year, sees the two star-crossed lovers (now married, kinda) rejoin the rest of the gang back home as they become entangled in a new search for the legendary Cross of Gold. Unfortunately, the group, along with their newest partner in crime Cleo (Carlacia Grant), are once again foiled by Ward and Rafe who make off with the relic, leaving the Pogues stranded on a desert island they name Poguelandia.
No details about Season 3 have been revealed as of yet, but when the cast announced the renewal on social media, Grant did say, "See you in Poguelandia, baby!" This does suggest that the show will pick up right where it left off with the friends settling into their new island home.
When speaking with L'OFFICIEL following the premiere of Season 2, Cline opined on what she would like to see for her rich-girl-turned-Pogue character in the next season. “I would love to see almost this Rachel Greene-esque kind of dynamic where she gets a job and she doesn't know anything about what she is doing and maybe she is making smoothies and she mixes the wrong recipes and just something completely horrifying in it," explained Cline. "I just really wanna see her learn to truly be on her own and find independence and gratification in herself and that her family does not define her.”
