Netflix just renewed Outer Banks for season 3 in December 2021, but it looks like the streaming network is already planning for another season of the Netflix original series.

According to a report from Small Screen, Outer Banks season 4 is already in the works.

The report cites a source close to Outer Bankswho said the scripts for season 3 and season 4 were already being written earlier this year.

We shared what Small Screen is reporting about Outer Banks season 4 below:

“We’re finishing up the scripts for Seasons 3 and 4. Season 3 should start filming this year and be out towards the middle of 2022 – if all goes to plan.”

Will there be a season 4 of Outer Banks?

As the report mentions, just because scripts are being worked on, it doesn’t mean that Outer Banks season 4 is definitely happening. We have to wait for Netflix to make the final call on that, and since the network just renewed Outer Banks for season 3, we probably won’t see the season 4 renewal all that soon. We might be waiting until after season 3 premieres on Netflix for that to happen.

I believe that Outer Banks season 4 will happen based on what the creative team has stated about the future for the series in the past. It sounds like they have enough material for at least four seasons, and possibly even more.

Co-creator Jonas Pate told Entertainment Weekly the show could run for four or five seasons:

“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.”

So, if the plan is for four or five seasons, that’s probably what will happen given the popularity of the show.

Outer Banks season 4 release date

Hopefully, the fact that Outer Banks season 4 scripts are in the works means one thing: season 3 and season 4 will be filmed back to back.

We’ve seen Netflix do this with another teen show, Locke and Key, and it seemed to work really well. Locke and Key season 2 premiered this fall, and Locke and Key season 3 will be released in 2022.

If this happens for Outer Banks, we might be waiting a little bit longer for Outer Banks season 3, but we’ll likely have to wait for less time for Outer Banks season 4 to be released.

At the time of publishing, there are no rumors or plans that have been revealed for Outer Banks season 4 yet, but hopefully, that changes soon.

As things stand, it sounds like Outer Banks season 3 will start production in January 2022, but that’s only rumored. Outer Banks season 3 is expected to arrive in 2022, and if it does, it will be one of the best Netflix shows coming in 2022.

If Outer Banks season 4 is filmed right after season 3, we’ll see Outer Banks season 4 sometime in 2023. Even if they can’t film season 3 and season 4 back to back, we could still see season 4 in 2023.

But, if there’s another gap between filming season 3 and season 4, we might have to wait until 2024. That’s a conservative estimate right now.

Stay tuned for more news about the future of Outer Banks. 

We've gone more than a year without new Outer Banks content in our lives, and it hasn't been an easy journey. When is the Netflix show coming back? When we last saw John B. (Chase Stokes) and our favorite Pogues in the Season 2 finale, another one of their missions went awry. The coveted Cross of Santo Domingo slipped through their hands, but at least they all made it out of the ship alive. 

And what's going to happen after the big reveal of Big John (Charles Halford), John B.'s dad, being alive? It's unclear what's going to happen in Season 3, but we are definitely hoping for a father-and-son reunion.

Set in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the series follows a group of teens known as the Pogues, who are, as John B. describes, the "lowest member of the food chain." John B. and his friends embark on a journey to seek the truth behind his father's disappearance and must face off against the rival Kooks, as what begins as a curious quest transforms into a deadly treasure hunt. 

Here's everything we know so far about Outer Banks Season 3.

Outer Banks Season 3 release date

The Pogues will return in 2023. A teaser posted in September 2022 included the release year and has the caption, "The Pogues are back in town. OBX 3 coming 2023."

In an interview with Young Hollywood, Madelyn Cline — who plays Sarah Cameron — seems to have accidentally leaked the premiere date for Outer Banks Season 3. She says the show will be out "February 23rd" before looking to her side and appearing to have realized that the date has not been shared yet. We do not have an official announcement from Netflix, but fans are speculating that Outer Banks Season 3 will be out next February.

Outer Banks Season 3 trailer 

Tudum: A Netflix Global Fan Event granted us a first-look teaser for Season 3. Everything starts off looking rosy for the Pogues, despite being stranded on an island. It's all coconuts and puka shells until we see the car chases, hand-to-hand combat, and imminent danger that lies in store for the OBX friends in Season 3.

Outer Banks Season 3 cast

On June 23, Netflix announced new cast members joining the next season. Andy McQueen plays Carlos Singh, described as "a ruthless Caribbean Don on a treasure hunt of his own." McQueen will be joined by Lou Ferrigno Jr., who plays Singh's top security officer. Season 3 will also star Fiona Palomo as Sofia, who Netflix says is "a self-identified Pogue who forms a close connection to Rafe."

In addition to Chase Stokes, all the series regulars are returning for Outer Banks Season 3. According to Deadline, Carlacia Grant, who plays Cleo, the newest addition to the central Pogues friend group, has been upped to series regular.

  • Madelyn Cline as Sarah Cameron
  • Rudy Pankow as JJ

Outer Banks Season 3 spoilers

In an interview with Metacritic, Elizabeth Mitchell — who plays the scheming Carla Limbrey in the series — teased what's to come for her character. "I do get to hang out with Big John (Charles Halford) quite a bit, which is lovely, because he's terrific," Mitchell said. The final scene of Outer Banks Season 2 teased this partnership, since Big John told Limbrey he would help her find the shroud with healing powers if she agreed to help his son John B. "I don't know if you'd call it 'teaming up,' but they are indeed together a great deal of the time, especially in the first part." Of course, Limbrey has proven herself to be someone who can't be trusted — she killed her half-brother in Season 2. "I don't know that Limbrey is really a team player, let's just say that," Mitchell said.

What happened in Outer Banks Season 2?

Similar to Season 1, Outer Banks Season 2 ended with a near-death experience for the Pogues. Much of the Netflix show's second installment followed John B., Sarah, JJ, Kiara, and Pope as they tried to locate and retrieve the lost Cross of Santo Domingo. The season finale saw the crew secretly board the ship the Coastal Venture and attempt to take the cross. They failed after a chaotic shootout, and escaped on a lifeboat. Though the Pogues once again left empty-handed, the episode ended on a positive note as they celebrated being together and in safety — for now.
