When does Outer Banks season three come out?

AFTER waiting for roughly a year and a half, Outer Banks is returning for a third season.

Here is the confirmed date for the new season.

When does Outer Banks season three come out?

Netflix has announced that Outer Banks season three will premiere on February 23, 2023.

And with any luck, it most likely won’t be the last we’ll see of the show either.

Series creator Jonas Pate told  in April 2020: “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.”

At the end of February 2022, Netflix shared a first look at the gang.

The cast members include Madelyn Cline, Chase Stokes, Madison Bailey, Rudy Pankow, Jonathan Daviss, Carlacia Grant, and Drew Starkey.

Filming for the third season began the same month in Charleston, South Carolina.

The first series dropped on Netflix in April 2020, while season two debuted on July 30, 2021 – leaving a gap of one year and three months.

What happened in Outer Banks season two?

The beginning of season two centres around John B and Sarah Cameron searching for the gold Sarah’s father sent to the Bahamas. 

What they don’t know is that Ward and Rafe have also traveled down to the Caribbean to retrieve the gold.

With the help of Cleo, John B and Sarah manage to stop Ward and Rafe from getting the gold and steal it themselves – and Rafe responds by shooting Sarah in the stomach by accident while trying to shoot John B.

John B calls the only doctor around – Captain Terrance – who seems to have a drinking problem. Nonetheless, Sarah survives.

After Sarah gets shot, it is revealed that John B is innocent, they prove to the police that Rafe shot Sheriff Peterkin and Ward murdered Gavin.

Ward filmed a confession to his and Rafe’s crimes, then staged a fake death by blowing up his boat – but it is later revealed he is still alive.

Meanwhile, Pope finds out that he is related to the only survivor of the Royal Merchant shipwreck and that there exists an ornate golden cross with healing properties.

So Pope, John B and JJ set out to retrieve it.

Ward then kidnaps Sarah after giving her a sleeping pill and along with the golden cross, makes an escape.

Unbeknown to Ward, Pope, John B and JJ are stowaways on the ship and Cleo helps them get Sarah back.

The season ends with the gang on a remote island in the Caribbean – and the final revelation that John B’s father is still alive!
