John B's coming back! On Dec. 7, 2021, Variety reported that fans will get to return to the OBX now that Netflix has finally renewed its hugely popular action-adventure-mystery-teen drama series, Outer Banks,for Season 3.
Outer Banks' first season brought adventure and romance to people aching for both during quarantine—and the teen dramedy, a frothy blend of Romeo and Juliet and The Goonies, is shaping up to make even bigger waves after its high-octane second season.
The popularity of the series (at one point, it was the highest-rated show on Netflix) seemed to guarantee that a Season 3 would be a foregone conclusion—and now we know it is! Keep reading to catch up on all the news about the third season of Outer Banks, and keep checking back for more information!
Has OuterBanks been renewed for Season 3?
Yes! And that's not just great news for fans, but forseries co-creator JonasPate who told Entertainment Weekly in 2020 about his vision for the series, “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. We’ve sort of long-arced it out pretty far. I’m just hoping that we get a chance to actually tell those stories.”
When will Outer Banks Season 3 premiere?
The first season of Outer Banks dropped in April 2020, and Season 2 arrived on July 30, 2021. Given that timeline, it seems logical that Season 3 could be released in the spring or summer of 2022. (Plus, the show just feels like the perfect summer show, right?) Then again, considering Season 3 wasn't confirmed until December 2021, it's likely that we'll have to wait until sometime in 2023.
What happened in Seasons 1 and 2 of Outer Banks?
(Warning: Outer BanksSeason 1 and Season 2 spoilers follow!)
The show revolves around a group of teenagers who live on North Carolina’s Outer Banks. The wealthy Kooks and the poor Pogues have longstanding feuds and fight often. The story kicks off when Pogue John B (Chase Stokes) and his friends find a sunken ship after a hurricane--and that leads them on an action-packed adventure as they try to track down more information. Eventually, the friends find a parcel from John B’s missing father that includes a map and a tape recorder. Dad tells John B to “go for the gold,” and he means it literally: There is $400 million in gold bars at stake. The teens start looking for the gold—and along the way, John B falls in love with a Kook: his boss’ daughter, Sarah (Madelyn Cline).
John B and his friends miraculously find the treasure, but it’s snatched by Sarah’s father. By the end of the season, John B and Sarah find themselves on a boat, escaping from drug dealers and the cops. The boat capsizes and the Pogues are told the lovers are dead. Luckily, the couple is rescued by a passing boat headed for the Bahamas, which happens to be where Sarah’s dad has stored the gold.
Don't feel too bad if you find all of OBX's twists and turns tricky to follow; the first season was such a wild ride that even the show's stars had a hard time doing a 30-second recap of it.
The Season 2 trailer let fans know right away that things were only going to get crazier for the Pogues. “My old man used to tell me it’s best to never say you’ve hit rock bottom,” John B says in a voiceover. “Trust me, he said, ‘you can always go lower.'” Netflix also released two short clips where we discover that JJ (Rudy Pankow) loses his job after confronting the Kooks in public, and that the Pogues find out that Sarah and John B are still alive.
“Season 2 is going to test our crew like never before,” creators/executive producers Jonas Pate, Josh Pate and Shannon Burkesaid in a statement. “We’ve turned up the dial on everything fans loved about Season 1–more mystery, more romance and higher stakes… All we can say for now is buckle up, it’s going to be a wild ride.”
The Season 2 trailer also revealed another map, meaning it's possible that there's more treasure to find.
Are there any Outer Banks Season 3 spoilers?
Fans can likely expect that the Pogues will stay together and keep battling Sarah’s dad and the Kooks. Speaking of fans, if you happen to love North Carolina college basketball as much as you love North Carolina-set action-dramas, then you'll be thrilled to know that UNC hoops star Armando Bacot is reportedly shooting a guest-starring role in Season 3!
Which characters will be in Outer Banks Season 3?

Are Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline from Outer Banks still dating?
Initially, life imitated art for two of the cast members, whose onscreen romance turned into a real-life love affair. Stokes and Cline say they started dating after Season 1, and after some serious PDA at the MTV Movie Awards in May 2021, it was clear that their relationship was going strong.
Sadly, though, it was reported in November 2021 that the pair had called it quits after a year of dating. "Madelyn and Chase are no longer together," a source told PEOPLE at the time. "They were trying to work things out privately but broke up a couple of months ago." Just a month later, however, another insider told Entertainment Tonight, "They felt like they had to be apart to get back on track and be together in the future. Their relationship was very serious before and right now, they're slowly easing back into things and giving it another try. They're not full on back together, but they're taking it slow and seeing where things go."
The two sort-of reunited on the red carpet at the 2021 People's Choice Awards in early December when the entire Outer Banks cast posed for a group photo, but whether they full-on revive their romance remains to be seen.
