Outer Banks season 3 potential launch date: When will we get extra episodes?

Excellent news, Pogues! Season three of Outer Banks was confirmed in December 2021… now it is only a ready recreation to see when it will seem on our screens.

In a video posted to Twitter, the solid of the present appeared, cheering, to say: “All the way from Poguelandia, season three baby!”

Netflix confirmed that the Pogues have been again in motion and that manufacturing for season three had begun in an Instagram posted by the streaming platform in February 2022. The candy image included all of our favorite solid members, together with Madelyn Cline, Chase Stokes, Madison Bailey, Rudy Pankow, Jonathon Daviss, Carlacia Grant, and Drew Starkey.

The put up was captioned: “don’t call, don’t text. no service in poguelandia. OBX 3 is BACK IN PRODUCTION.”

There was a wait of simply over a 12 months between the primary two seasons, with the primary premiering in April 2020 and the follow-up solely simply releasing on the finish of July 2021. We additionally know that season two started manufacturing in August 2020 and wrapped in April 2021. So, taking the eight months of manufacturing into consideration, the earliest we might anticipate to see Outer Banks on our display once more is late 2022.

And hopefully, it isn’t the final we’ll see of the present both.

Present boss Jonas Pate beforehand spoke about envisaging Outer Banks working via to seasons 4 or 5, however whether or not the deliberate story will get advised is in the end right down to Netflix giving it the inexperienced mild as soon as once more.

“Ever since we started, we always viewed it as something that was probably like a four-season, maybe five-season show, but definitely four seasons,” Pate advised Leisure Weekly. “We’ve sort of long-arced it out pretty far. I’m just hoping that we get a chance to actually tell those stories.”

Chase Stokes additionally expressed his ideas on taking part in John B for the foreseeable future, and it is actually excellent news for us OBX followers.

“I would love to keep it going, you know, but it obviously depends on the reaction to it. Just like last year, we’re hoping that people really attach to the story and continue to kind of fall in love with the journey of not just the Pogues, but the entire world of Outer Banks,” Stokes advised Cosmopolitan UK.

Outer Banks season 3 solid: Who will return?

With season three formally underway, anticipate all the primary crew to be coming again for extra.

Rumours have been circulating over the opportunity of Madelyn Cline’s departure following her break up from onscreen (and now formally offscreen) associate Chase Stokes.

The 2, who play Sarah Cameron and John B respectively, went official with their relationship in June 2020 and dated for a 12 months.

Their break up had followers frightened whether or not or not Cline would return for a 3rd season nevertheless she went public in a now deleted Instagram story, bringing the rumours to a grinding halt.

The 24-year-old captioned her selfie with the next:

“Hi so I’m getting asked if s3 is my final season of obx. I will come back for as many seasons as they will have me. I love my job and there’s not a day that goes by that I’m not grateful for it, and for everyone who has watched it. Not everything on the internet is true.”

Phew, as a result of it looks like there’s nonetheless so much left in retailer for her character Sarah.

In an interview with ELLE, the Knives Out 2 actress stated:

“I want her to be happy. I want to see her come into her own. For me, for Sarah’s arc, that would be the most ideal thing to happen.”

She continued: “I want to see her and John B have to kind of hash out what just happened. I want to see her personal relationships with her chosen family develop. Maybe we could get some backstory on her and Kie’s friendship. Maybe see her try to go to Pogue high school. Maybe see her try to get a job.

“Season 2 was extremely fast-paced and wild and really enjoyable. And I feel if we’re fortunate sufficient to get a season 3 [which we now know they will!] I wish to dive into some character stuff and get to know [Sarah] higher.”

As mentioned above, Netflix’s confirmation post featured all of the main characters. So we think it’s safe to say that also returning alongside Cline will be Chase Stokes as John B, Madison Bailey as Kiara, Jonathan Daviss as Pope, and Rudy Pankow as JJ. Pogues for life.

Drew Starkey will reprise his role as Rafe, while new recruit Carlacia Grant, who was introduced to us as Cleo in season three, has (thankfully) been bumped up to a series regular.

Charles Esten (Ward), Austin North (Topper) and Cullen Moss (Sheriff Shoupe) are also set to join them again.

As always, there’s the potential for some news faces to join too.

Outer Banks season 3 plot: How could season 2’s ending effect what happens next?

It’s fair to say that Outer Banks’ season two finale was a bit of a shocker.

Throughout the series, Sarah and John B had been continuing their quest for the treasure, reuniting with the rest of the Pogues in Charlotte. The gang managed to dodge Ward, Rafe, and newbie Carla (the threat of murder is never far away from this lot!)

The Pogues had lost their newly acquired gold cross to – yep, you guessed it – Sarah’s family, the Camerons, during a dramatic run-in on a cargo ship. Narrowly escaping death (again), the gang jumped ship (literally) only to end up on a deserted island.

The season drew to a close with Carla on her way to meet with John B’s father(!), whom many had assumed to be dead – but clearly, he most definitely isn’t! He vowed to help track down the Shroud of Turin (the magical healing cloth that was meant to have been hidden in the gold cross) but, in return, she must help John B and his friends.

We’d expect this hunt to continue to play out in a third season, should we get one, with fans wondering whether or not John B will ever get that reunion with his clearly-breathing father.

Pate told Entertainment Weekly: “John B’s relationship along with his dad is a large theme. Having his dad again round and ultimately they will meet again up and John B has to reconcile his idealised model of his lifeless dad with the fact of his alive dad.”

Writer Shannon Burke added: “It will be instrumental and possibly the backbone [of season three] principally.”

It sounds like audiences may be in for that special moment after all, at least if showrunner Josh Pate gets his way. In an interview with EW, he confirmed that “John B’s relationship along with his dad is a large theme [to shape season three]”.

“Having his dad again round and ultimately they will meet again up and John B has to reconcile his idealised model of his lifeless dad with the fact of his alive dad,” Pate added. “It provides us plenty of thematic father-son stuff to work with.”

Writer Shannon Burke added: “It will be instrumental and possibly the backbone [of season three] principally. It is clearly a big revelation that is going to energy an enormous a part of the third season.”

Actor Chase Stokes, who plays John B, has opened up about looking ahead to what this revelation may mean for his character going forward.

Telling TV Line that he’s “hoping to proceed to inform the story for a pair extra seasons”, he mused: “It wasn’t like he [Big John] was swept away by a pure catastrophe or regardless of the case could also be. It was his option to exit and depart his son, and what does that appear like? What does it appear like when a child comes face-to-face with a dad or mum who’s left and selected to place him in these circumstances and has no concept what has occurred within the meantime?”

Despite all of this very promising chatter, according to TV Line, the Outer Banks showrunners do not have a “grasp plan” for the third season – even if they do have some idea of the themes that they would look to explore further.

This sounds like business as usual in terms of the approach towards the show. In fact, when they were mapping out season two, Big John’s return wasn’t even necessarily a certainty.

“We knew we had that card,” Jonas Pate told TV Line. “We did not know that we might play it for positive, however across the sixth or seventh episode, once we have been scripting this 12 months, we began to understand possibly we may do this.”

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Pate said: “It was at all times an concept lingering round and thematically, it units up some stuff we wish to discover within the third season.”

“The primary season we shot completely different endings, as a result of we weren’t 100% positive, and we had some alts on this season too that we ended up not utilizing,” Pate added. “Generally you simply do not know till you place it collectively and that is undoubtedly a part of our course of, trial and error.”

The second instalment left the Pogues – complete with new recruit Cleo – stuck on that abandoned island with very little in the way of sustenance. Fans will be hoping to see just how – or if – they manage to escape.

According to show bosses, the gang certainly aren’t going to give up that easily on their escapades to uncover the goods.

During the same EW chat, Pate also revealed that “the treasure hunt goes to broaden, and the mythology across the treasure hunt goes to evolve and get deeper”.

He also described the behind-the-scenes team as being “fairly fired up” about how everything is “going to broaden” in season three.

We do also know that romance is on the cards, particularly while the Pogues are stranded together on the self-named island of Poguelandia. Show bosses have teased that fans shipping JJ and Kiara may be particularly happy next season, with Pate explaining that they were “instantly open” to the idea.

“It looks like an attention-grabbing concept to discover however we form of left it for season three,” he said.

As for John B and Sarah?

Actor Madelyn Cline told Entertainment Tonight (via Newsweek) that “it would be actually enjoyable in season three” to get to see them “begin to actually get to know one another in a really actual sense”.

“They’re married,” she added, “however they really form of do not know an entire lot about one another.”

Chase Stokes has also hinted that John B may have been a bit hasty in his decision to get hitched, which we suppose may have ramifications for a third season.

“I feel John B clings to plenty of the individuals round him. He is undoubtedly somewhat extra co-dependent than he likes to offer himself credit score for,” Stokes told TV Line. “And now Sarah’s a lifeline in his life. And identical to any nice associate, you wish to preserve that individual round, and society tells us, ‘Hey, there’s somewhat shiny factor that you simply placed on any person’s finger. You go to a courthouse, and that is the way you solidify it.’

“When you’re young and in love, and you’re so caught up in the moment, it makes perfect sense. And for him, he hasn’t had consistency… His dad’s been gone for a while, and so for him to have something that feels stable in his life — absolutely. He definitely jumps the shark a little bit, but you know, for a kid who’s been through that much trauma, it comes from the right place. Maybe it’s wrong time, right idea.”

Newcomer Carlacia Grant (who performs Cleo) has advised ELLE that she has hopes for an additional romance sooner or later too, in addition to additional growth for her character.

“I’m really interested in seeing this whole Cleo and Pope thing happen, if it does happen,” she advised the publication.

“And I would love to see more of Cleo’s backstory. I, personally, really want to see more of her, more of where she came from. And I want her to be more bad-ass, definitely more bad-ass.”

We might completely be on board with that.
