The new season has been described as a “ballad” by Chase Stokes in an interview with Elite Daily. The actor who plays John B told the publication: “Season 2 was like a death metal album. I think season 3 would be like the acoustic ballad album of the Outer Banks music world, with a lot going on.”

What is the plot to Outer Banks?

Outer Banks is set on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the series depicts the class divide between the wealthy Kooks and Pogues. It follows the story of the Pogues as they go on a treasure hunt which will turn their fortunes around.
