Will there be more adventures for the “Pogues”? Recently, Outer Banks creator Jonas Pate spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the future of the Netflix TV show.
The teen mystery drama follows John (Chase Stokes) and his friends in the search for his missing father on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The cast also includes Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Austin North, and Charles Esten.
While Netflix has not yet announced a season two renewal for Outer Banks, creator Jonas Pate says he has plans for at least 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. We’ve sort of long-arced it out pretty far. I’m just hoping that we get a chance to actually tell those stories. [B]efore [season 1] even came out, Netflix had greenlit us to write some [season 2] scripts, so we’ve been working on that for a few months now.”
And what are those season two plans? Pate says:
We’ll definitely have at least a part of season 2 that’ll take place in the Bahamas, but it’ll all come back to the Outer Banks because that’s our spiritual home. So we’ll get back to the Outer Banks pretty quickly, I’m sure, but there’ll be definitely an episode or two that that has some Bahamas in it.”
Pate later revealed that if Netflix does renew Outer Banks, season two will further explore Ward (Esten):
Ward is a very crafty character, as you saw in the first season. He’s very slippery. And he’s willing to bend the truth and do all kinds of things that will drive you crazy because you just want him to get justice, and I think we’ll ride that line a little longer in season 2. But we’ll also introduce some new villains too. So the story will broaden a little bit as we go into season 2.”
Fans don’t have to worry about Topper, either. Pate says actor Austin North will likely return for season two:
We want to continue to develop Rafe’s pathology as he starts to come apart after having murdered Peterkin in season 1. So he’ll play a big part in season 2, for sure. And we love Austin North, we really love the performance that he gave as Topper, so he’s going to play a pretty big role as well. But a big debate will be whether he does the right thing or the class thing, so that’ll be an ongoing story line in season 2 too.”
What do you think? Have you Outer Banks? Do you want a second season?
Love the story and the adventure.
yes please NOW
Yes please this is the best show I’ve ever watched. It’s sooooo good. Please let there be a season 2
Love to see another season . The suspense the friendship the cast is amazing . Would love to see JB and Sarah open their eyes and be more aware to dangerous people and not be so hysterically and not so trusting anyone
What a great show I am so hooked it definitely needs 4 or 5 seasons but the show does need a little brief male nudity since it’s rated MA
make a season two and make it quick!
Yes please please please!!! Make as many seasons possible! I binged watched season 1 in 2 days because it was soooo good!!!! Best show ever! I would pay big money to watch the next season! Like over $100!
I was hooked immediately, that does not happen often and I have saw almost everything on Netflix & beyond so I really hope there will be more seasons and hopefully it won’t take a year to see it ….ps: if I was living on the Outerbanks I would definitely be one of the “Pouges”
Yes please it’s a super epic show with a hot cast and I love the storms in it so here’s to hoping for a tornado episode in later seasons.
Live in NC and have been to the beach every one of my 67 years. Even though I am a grandmother , I really enjoyed this show, a lot of fun and action. Really recommend!
Season 2 is a must!!!! Cannot wait.
Absolutely season 2
There better be a season two!!! Outer Banks was such an amazing show. Netflix, do your thing… if you can keepRiverdale going this long you can give Outer Banks a season two!!
Loved Outer Banks! Hope it has a long run.
Loved this show and all the characters. We are all cheering John B on and can’t wait to see him vindicated.
I hope the series runs long so that we can see what happens and plays out in season 2. Also I hope that Netflix will continue this show for 4 or 5 season because it is so great.
