Outer Banksfirst premiered on Netflix in April 2020 and quickly gained notoriety among viewers and critics alike. The third season is set to begin streaming next month, and fans couldn’t be more delighted about the show’s return. When audiences last saw John B and the rest of the Pogues, they narrowly escaped Ward and his hired goons after rescuing Sarah but losing the golden cross. After jumping ship together, the group found themselves on an island they subsequently declared to be Poguelandia. Despite their tribulations, they were happily making do given the circumstances and vowed to eventually retrieve their stolen treasure.
However, there was quite a revelation during the last season’s final scene, and audiences were ultimately left with an unexpected cliffhanger. Viewers watched as Big John, John B’s father, asked the ruthlessly murderous Limbrey for help with his son if he gave her what she wanted. Questions soon followed regarding Limbrey’s relationship with Big John and well as whether the scene was some sort of flashback. Audiences will remember Big John was thought to be dead after Ward pushed him overboard into the ocean following an altercation that led to Big John violently hitting the back of his head on the boat deck. Thankfully, season three ofOuter Banksis sure to pick up right where season two ended, so fans should quickly receive the answers to all their burning questions following the finale.
Outer Banks Season 3: The Plot
The third season ofOuter Banksbegins with the gang of Pogueshappily living lifeon their self-declared island of Poguelandia. However, resources on the island are finite, which means they need to figure out a long-term plan quickly. Unfortunately for them, remaining on the island isn’t sustainable. Plus, the longer they spend on the island, the further away their treasure vanishes in the hands of Ward.

One of the major plot points of the upcoming season will involve John B and his dad, Big John. With thecat out of the bag, it’s been confirmed that Big John is in fact alive, which raises another set of questions season three will need to answer. As the upcoming season plays out, the role Big John plays in aiding John B and his friends in their hunt for the treasure will be at the top of the list.
Fans can expect to see sparks fly between Kiara and JJ throughout season three, which will most definitely create some tension within the group given Kiara’s previous brief romance with Pope. However, such a development shouldn’t surprise viewers. During season one, Kiara and JJ appeared to be on the verge ofsomething romantic, but the storyline never came to fruition until now.
True to form, fans can anticipate more high-stakes treasure hunting as the new season ofOuter Banksunfolds. The show has managed to continue to up the ante upon its return each season, and next month’s premiere should be no different.
