Outer Banks

It is unarguable that good writing can salvage or elevate even the most oft-repeated stories. When we started watching Season 1 of "Outer Banks," we ...

Rafe and Ward have the cross and the gold, but knowing that it is the legacy of Denmark Tanny, the pogues’ need to get the treasure is a matter of pride and justice and not just the money. But another surprise for everyone is that the rest of the Pogues are also on the ship, for the cross, and for Sarah. As for the Pogues, John and Sarah make up, and when they are on their mission to retrieve the cross, Sarah is kidnapped by her mother and taken away on a ship, where it turns out that her father is alive after all, and they are all escaping to make a new life somewhere else. While Kiara’s parents put her out of the house due to her irresponsibility towards them, Pope discovers that he is the descendant of Denmark Tanny. Clara finds that in Sarah’s home, where an entire room is the map of the island, which has been hidden beneath the wallpaper all this time; when Sarah sees that, she and the Pogues figure out that the treasure must be at the base of the Angel Oak tree on Goat Island. That is when they discover the clue to the treasure, which is in a church. While this problem is behind them, Sarah breaks up with Jon as she needs time to process everything that has happened, and she is unable to lean on John as he wouldn’t be able to support her in her grief when he hated her father for what he had done to John’s family. He confesses to all his crimes and even takes the blame for the murder of Sheriff Peterkin to let his son off the hook. Clara tells him that Denmark Tanny had brought freedom to his sons, but when he tried to do the same for his wife, she was shot dead by her owners as she was trying to escape. While he unsuccessfully tries to steal the gold from Ward’s house, Sarah is kidnapped by the captain and his crew. But unknown to Sarah and John, Ward Cameron has also come to the Bahamas. Another instance from the same episode is that of the wasp nest.

Netflix's OBX series returns for Season 3 on Feb. 23. Before the premiere, get caught up on what happened on the last two seasons here.

The Pogues orchestrate an almost-successful plan to win back the cross before jumping overboard and taking a lifeboat to The Pogues observe from a distance, then sneak onto the boat as stowaways to rescue Sarah and take back the cross. Through a series of clues deciphered through historical artifacts, the Pogues find the cross, but end up losing it to Rafe and Limbrey. The boat is seen capsizing, but John B and Sarah somehow manage to survive, then get rescued by a cargo ship headed to the Bahamas — where the gold has been flown by Ward’s pilot. ▪ Hello, Bahamas — Season 2 opens with plenty of action, as John B and Sarah arrive in the Bahamas as fugitives and are captured by the crew on the cargo ship that originally brought them to the island country. The group heads back to the Outer Banks, where John B is (wrongly) arrested for the murder of the sheriff. John B and Sarah manage to escape the island using a boat owned by JJ’s abusive father, heading straight into the storm. Most of the show’s main characters — teens John B, Pope, JJ and Kiara — consider themselves to be Pogues, while born-Kook Sarah Cameron becomes more of a Pogue as she begins a star-crossed romance with John B. Two main groups exist on the show’s fictional Outer Banks setting: the Pogues, or the working-class locals who live on “the Cut,” and the Kooks, the rich, upper-class people who live on Figure Eight Island — — Ward retrieves the gold, then makes plans to fly it by private plane to the Bahamas. Main character John B introduces the Outer Banks early on in the pilot episode, referring to it as “Paradise on Earth.” The characters — who, as John B says in a voiceover, are on a summer mission to “have a good time, all the time” — spend lots of time on the water, surfing, boating and fishing. ▪ Welcome to the Outer Banks — Let’s start with some scene-setting.

Class-warfare treasure-hunting YA series from Josh Pate, Jonas Pate, and Shannon Burke has gotten too big for its britches.

Somehow, the presence of a thousand hands for hire, constant street chases and shootouts aren’t enough to make the hour-long episodes go faster. Season Three of Outer Banks relies heavily on narration and flashbacks to keep its momentum going, a party trick that does little to hide its thin plot. It’s a pity, then, that Season Three sacrifices nearly all of the show’s original charm to keep its already-unbelievable treasure hunt theme going just a little while longer. Rutledge (Chase Stokes) and his friends Kiara (Madison Bailey), Pope (Jonathan Daviss), and JJ (Rudy Pankow), known as the Pogues (a play on “pogies,” a type of small fish). By sheer luck, and the intervention of Jamaican newcomer Cleo (Carlacia Grant), the friends got out of enemy hands and became stranded on a desert island nicknamed Poguelandia. 23 — opens with the Pogues cheerfully enjoying their tropical paradise, it quickly leaves the island behind, sending the intrepid teens on the run (once again) in a last-ditch attempt to find their fortune and maybe stay alive in the process.

“I go to the chiropractor, I really try to drink a lot of water, because we’re always running around and I need to keep my skin hydrated.…I make sure I chill in moments when I can chill.” We love some self-care queens! According to both of them, self-care is especially important when they are filming, because many of the scenes can be so physically exhausting (read: lots of sprinting through fields, hiding in small places, acting through plane crashes and gun shots…the usual). So when we had the chance to interview a couple of the leads (lead Pogues, nonetheless) on [The Everygirl Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bonus-madison-bailey-and-carlacia-grant-of-outer/id1632453113?i=1000601185819), we were pretty pumped. “If my body hurts a lot from the physicality of the show, I’ll do some TLC on the weekends like book a massage,” Madison said.

The Pogues have already been confirmed to be returning for a fourth season. by Kasey Moore Published on February 23rd, 2023, 10:32 am EST.

Season 3 of Outer Banks comes out on Netflix in February 2023, but they have already announced a season 4 to come.

The official cast has not been confirmed and it will undoubtedly depend on the unfolding events of season three. Following a group of teenagers living under strong class distinctions on the titular islands, Outer Banks drew in viewers with its breakout cast, constant cliffhangers, and wild treasure-hunting adventures.

“And now we get to map out more twists and turns as the joyride continues into Season Four of Outer Banks.

JJ comes from a fraught home environment, dealing with his father's abuse and a lack of financial stability, and he often seeks refuge in the arms of his friend Kie (who he may or may not have feelings for). As the charismatic and carefree leader of the Pogues, John B is arguably the main character of the series. During the first two Seasons it's presumed that Big John is dead, but the Season 2 finale revealed that he is very much alive and is being kept hidden by Carla Limbrey (Elizabeth Mitchell). A newer member of the Pogues, Cleo is getting to know everyone, especially Pope (who just might have caught her eye). Carlos Singh is the main antagonist of Season 3. As for his love life, his short-lived romance with Kiara turned out to be one-sided, but with the new addition Cleo (Carlacia Grant), there may still be hope for Pope's love life. JJ is John B's childhood best friend who comes from a self-proclaimed 'long line of fishing, drinking, vendetta-holding salt-lifers who made their living off the water." The Kook princess herself and honorary Pogue, Sarah Cameron marches to the beat of her own drum. Along the way, he falls for Sarah Cameron (Madelyn Cline), a Kook princess from Figure Eight and the daughter of Ward Cameron (Charles Esten), who knows far more about Big John's disappearance than he lets on. John B is played by heartthrob and Florida native Chase Stokes who can be seen in the upcoming Netflix adaptation of With a bit of help from his friends like the straight-laced Pope (Jonathan Daviss), hot-headed JJ (Rudy Pankow), and hippie Kiara (Madison Bailey), John B sets out to find what exactly happened to Big John. [Netflix's Outer Banks](https://collider.com/outer-banks-season-3-review/) follows a group of fun-loving, working-class teens from the Cut (a.k.a the wrong side of the island) who love to surf all day and party all night as they search for hidden treasure along their small coastal town in the Outer Banks of South Carolina.

The search for John B's father Big John finally comes to an end, as does the Pogues' hunt for El Dorado, the Venezuelan city of gold. Of course nothing runs ...

The older man hands them the promise of a new quest in the form of a manuscript, the captain's log of Blackbeard, the pirate. She isn't the only one to lose a parent on this quest as Big John sadly bleeds out from his earlier wounds. A stick of dynamite in hand, Big John threatens to set it off unless Singh lets his son go. In the kerfuffle both Johns and Sarah escape with their gold. It'll do though, as Sarah and John collect the gold and head on out. The city of gold is more like hunks of gold studded throughout. Big John finally shares what he's learned from the Gnomon clues as they arrive at the cave. Big John is shot but they manage to escape. However, Singh appears just in time to scupper their plans when he receives the next clue. Carlos sets his men on them to search the village for Big John. Unfortunately Ward also had the same idea of seeking out Jose and, with Singh's men close behind, they are forced to let him tag along so as not to waste time. They, too, head to Tres Rocas and eventually catch up with the gang.

The gang attempts to go back to their old lives in the Outer Banks, but the stillness doesn't last long. JJ's bike then crashed off the overpass, which led fans to believe that he died. Halfway through season 3, the Pogues head back to the Outer Banks to go back to their normal routines.

"As we started this season, there was some work to try to connect everything together," Burke says.

But according to the cast, fans don't have to worry about where the Pogues are going to end up in the season 3 finale (now streaming).

Outer Banks creators are teasing the next thrilling seaside journey for the Pogues in Outer Banks Season Four!

And let's be real, those waters can be just as dangerous as the choppy waves of the Outer Banks. We're thinking the Pogues will continue their search for treasure while navigating the treacherous waters of high school. But let's be real, we're all already counting down the days until we can dive back into the world of treasure hunts, shipwrecks, and epic romance. The showrunners, Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke, are ecstatic to continue the journey with the lovable cast and the die-hard fans who made it all possible.

'Outer Banks' hinted at JJ Maybank (Rudy Pankow) and Kiara Carrera's (Madison Bailey) romantic potential on the show — more.

“So it won’t be like a romantic rival [coming between them], at least not for a while, but more like JJ’s demons and how is he going to deal with his traumatized past and settle into something that’s healthy without being self-destructive,” he continued. “We didn’t want to do it too fast, so we thought season 3 would be a good time to explore that, and I’m really pleased with the way that came out. It was a big card we really wanted to play and make it a big thing,” he shared with Entertainment Weekly in February 2023. I feel like they can’t go wrong with the story line anywhere, and if me and Rudy teamed up as actors, I think [it] will be really sick.” “Because it starts out with JJ saying that he had tried getting with Kiara.

Outer Banks Season 3 Ending Explained Ward Cameron, Carlos Singh And Pogues (John B Credits: Netflix.

Big John tells him that if he hurts the kids, he will throw that flare and cause the cave to collapse. Sarah and John B escape upstream with Big John and, unfortunately, Ward, who is determined to join them on their quest to prove to his daughter that he is a changed man. But their troubles never end, and they find Ward waiting outside with a gun, but he puts it down when Sarah tells him that he couldn’t do that to the people he loved. He is angry because he believes that he is just trying to do the right thing. He must leave immediately to avoid arrest, and despite their hesitance, the ponies decide to go with him to Orinoco, even though they have to leave Kie and JJ behind. When he compares the letter to the picture Kie took in Carlos’ house, he understands that this is the key to translating it. Seeing what Rafe has done and understanding that he is positively unhinged, Ward decides to hand over control of his properties to Rose, leaving Rafe furious and with a plan to kill his father. He melts down the cross and decides to sell the gold and gems separately. The father and son come back to the Outer Banks, but their adventure is far from over. In fact, she even successfully steals his boat so that she and the ponies can get back to the Outer Banks. He takes them to the mainland when the kids sense that something is wrong with him. She is taken to Carlos Singh’s house, where she finds Rafe, who was trying to sell the cross and thought Carlos was a prospective buyer.

The 'Outer Banks' season 3 finale was the show's wildest season finale yet. Find out everything that happened here!

They make it to their boat in the river, but Big John doesn't make the journey and dies on his way. Big John lights up a firecracker and warns him that he is willing to blow up the opening to El Dorado if he tries to do anything. After everything that they've been through, John B and Sarah finally make it to the special cave that's filled with a huge mountain of gold AKA El Dorado. Knowing that he can't continue due to his injury, Big John encourages Sarah and John B to go through the opening and see if the treasure is back there. Placing her hands on the hand symbol, another part of the cave opens up and it leads them to...a giant cliff that they have to jump over... So John B, Sarah, and Big John manage to make their way to Jose's boat and John B shares the rosetta stone that Pope found that will help them translate the rest of the glyphs. John B, Big John, and Sarah continue on their journey, but John B notices that his father has been shot in the big fight. The group make it out to a cave, where they feel like they've hit a dead end. Sarah, John B, and Big John make their way to Solana and it's a tough hike up, especially with Big John's relentlessness to get up there ASAP. The next morning, the crew makes their way up to Solana to try to make it in time for the solstice. The private plane crew decides to divide and conquer to try to find Jose, the guide that is supposed to help lead them to the treasure, while Big John attempts to escape by going through the window. Sarah reminds him that he's injured and Ward seems to jump back on the plane, but this is obviously Ward we're talking about...

Pogues, the adventure isn't over quite yet. 02.24.2023 by Janelle Sessoms.

If this is the setup for Season 4 that it seems to be, then the Pogues will be getting a taste of the pirate life. Everything seems to be perfect, but as the group joins the town in celebrating their achievement, a man approaches the group with a manuscript he needs investigated: the captain's log of Captain Edward Teach a.k.a. There, John B and Sarah rescue Big John and head out on the road to El Dorado, as Cleo, Pope, Kiara, and JJ find their own way. And in another stroke of tragedy, as the group rushes to get Big John to a hospital, he dies in his son's arms. Between coaxing John B into committing felonies, committing actual murder himself (although some could argue it was self-defense), and keeping secrets from the group, it seems Big John may be just as dangerous as some of the other ill-fated paternal figures in the series (*cough* Ward *cough*). However, the Season 3 finale left fans on the edge of their seats as it seemed the Pogues might be embarking on a whole new quest.

Watched the latest season of Netflix's "Outer Banks" and can't find the song you heard on season 3 that you loved? Here's the new season's soundtrack.

Is Carlos Singh alive? What's the new Blackbeard mystery? OBX has some loose ends to tie up in Season 4.

He hands over a manuscript containing the captain’s log of a ship, explaining that it shows “the exact location where the ship sailed, and where it stopped.” The captain? (Her voice is used to lure Sarah to a meeting with Ward, but she’s not physically present.) With Rafe causing trouble in the Outer Banks and Ward following in hopes of mending his relationship with Sarah, Rose and Wheezie are left to their own devices in Guadeloupe. After the Pogues bury Big John, the Outer Banks Season 3 finale, “Secret of the Gnomon,” flashes forward 18 months to a ceremony honoring their exploratory efforts. Unsurprisingly (but also surprisingly, if you know the treasure-obsessed Big John), he chooses John B and throws a lit firework deep into the cave. But clearly, something happened in the year-and-a-half since the Pogues returned with their spoils that prompted Topper to drop the charges — either that, or John B’s cut went to restitution. While Rose Cameron (Caroline Arapoglou) appears early on in the season — her big moment comes in Episode 1, “Poguelandia,” when she and Rafe fight over what to do with the stolen Cross of Santo Domingo — Wheezie Cameron (Julia Antonelli), Sarah and Rafe’s sister, is largely absent. The Netflix drama has given viewers every reason to suspect that Ward and Singh are still alive, though if only one will make it, things are looking a bit better for the latter. Will Ward follow through on his promise and hand over the keys to the kingdom to his sociopathic son? While the discovery allows the Pogues to even the playing field and go “full Kook,” their nickname for the OBX’s most privileged residents, it comes at a steep cost for Big John Routledge (Charles Halford), who dies after suffering a gunshot wound. As a thank you, Ward tells Rafe what he so desperately wants to hear: He’s “proved” himself by coming back for his father, and now, he’s been granted control over the family’s assets. Limbrey hired Big John to find the Shroud of Turin, a religious garment rumored to have healing powers, believing it will cure her of a mysterious disease. And yet, in the supersized finale, their search brings them deep into the jungle of South America, where they discover a cave filled with gold that has been untouched for over 500 years.

The Pogues return for a wild ride that mostly leans into the Netflix show's strengths and builds to a wild conclusion. Outer Banks Season 3 premieres Feb.

Perhaps even more fanatical than Singh, John B's dad, Big John Routledge ( [Charles Halford](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/charles-halford/3030111571/)) is back after his big surprise reveal at the end of Season 2 and eager for himself and his son to take El Dorado for themselves. The chemistry between the core characters is as fun and believable as ever, which is why it's a downer to see them split up so much throughout Season 3; John B, especially, is off with his father for big swaths of the story. It also doesn't help that he's being compared to Ward Cameron, who is just a great classic soap opera villain through and through, one whose personal relationship with our heroes makes their interactions all the more compelling. The teen angst is fun and necessary for the emotional high points to really hit, but each season's insane, not-in-any-way-plausible adventure plot is what makes Outer Banks so appealing. There's a similar issue with the villains of the show this season. But with each passing season, Outer Banks has begun to set itself apart from other teen shows by leaning into the adventure.

Obviously, Ward and Rafe are back for their own special brand of shenanigans (as well as their own father-and-son side angst), and we're also introduced to a new outside villain this season, Carlos Singh ( Outer Banks is a show that knows exactly what it is, and it commits. I don't want to reveal too many plot details here since half the fun of Outer Banks is watching the big, confident swings the creative team takes in order to get from point A to point B. "Awry" here obviously means that on top of the hundreds of millions of dollars in gold that Ward and his son, everybody's favorite psycho Rafe ( [Drew Starkey](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/drew-starkey/3030338133/)), stole from them previously, the Camerons also took the 8-foot gold Cross of Santo Domingo, a priceless relic tied to Pope's ancestors.

Is Outer Banks renewed for season 4? 18, shortly before Netflix released the show's third season on Thursday. The OBX cast announced the news onstage at a "Poguelandia" fan event on Feb. The Huntington Beach, California, festival featured music performances, games, and other Outer Banks-themed activities with the cast in attendance.

Lots of lives were lost in the recent season of Netflix's "Outer Banks," and two of them played a big part in the plot. Here's how it went down.

Although we finally (!) got a proper introduction to Big John in OBX3, he, unfortunately, doesn't make it to season 4. Ward has come close to death throughout the series and even faked his death with a massive boat explosion in season two. The two most shocking deaths this season, though, are Ward (which is actually real this time, unlike last season) and John B's dad, Big John. The dangerous hunt resulted in a few deaths by the end of the season — including that of two major characters. The Pogues start out season 3 on an island they've deemed their new home, but with no money and a lack of resources, they head back to [the OBX](https://www.seventeen.com/celebrity/movies-tv/a32188699/where-is-outer-banks-filmed-netflix/) to attempt a return to their normal lives before they began their tumultuous treasure hunt for the Cross of Santo Domingo. Halfway through the new season, that plan goes out the window when they discover the treasure is in the OBX.

Moments later, the crew notices Big John has lost a ton of blood. John B and Sarah make it to El Dorado and secure a bag full of gold, but on their way out, Singh shows up and threatens to kill them. After Big John, John B, and Sarah make it out of El Dorado, another plot twist goes down. Ward and one of Singh’s henchmen pop-up out of nowhere. This go-round, the OBX crew found themselves stranded on a deserted island while looking for John B’s father and El Dorado, the lost city of gold. When they arrive, the group's primary goal is to find John B’s father, Big John, who’s been kidnapped by Carlos Singh, a bloodthirsty bounty hunter.

Netflix's 'Outer Banks' has an explosive Season 3 that ends with a roller coaster ride. Here's a breakdown of the wild finale, including who dies in Season ...

This is a perfect way to give our crew a whole new quest while keeping them in their hometown where they can continue to fall in love, fight the Kooks, and even find them selves a big more treasure. Big John is too hurt to go on, so he sends Sarah and John B down into the hole to find out what is on the other side. That’s when the rest of the Pogues arrive, with machetes, and tell Ward to drop his gun. John B gives us some hints to what all of the Pogues are up to. When they get out of the cave, Ward is there holding them at gunpoint telling them he’s taking all of the gold. As the crew searches for Big John they find him by, well, just hanging out on the street and hearing him get in a kerfuffle with Singh’s guards. Yes, they find the city of gold, except it’s not a city, it’s a glowing gold mine with nuggets the size of footballs. They put out their flare and find a phosphorescent handprint glowing on the cave wall. John B, Big John, and Sarah end up in a series of caves, but it’s a deadend. However, when they get to their destination, Ward is too injured to make the long trek into the jungle. (Yes, this season had it all!) They are dropped off with the vague warning that JJ owes narco Barracuda Mike (Justin Matthew Smith) big time when they get back to the OBX. He presents them with a ship’s log from 1718, that shows the exact location where the ship sailed and where it stopped.
