Pogues for life! Fans of Outer Banks<\/em><\/a> thought the show could not get any crazier after a wild series of twists in season 1. However, the Netflix series proved them wrong in season 2<\/a>, leaving everyone wanting more \u2014 as in season 3 \u2014 right away.<\/p>\n Season 2 saw John B (Chase Stokes<\/strong><\/a>) facing off against Ward (Charles Esten<\/strong><\/a>) yet again as the Pogues \u2014 including Sarah (Madelyn Cline<\/strong><\/a>), Kiara (Madison Bailey<\/strong><\/a>), JJ (Rudy Pankow<\/strong>) and Pope (Jonathan Daviss<\/strong>) \u2014 tried to reclaim the $400 million in gold from the Royal Merchant that the homicidal Kook dad stole from them during season 1. The teens also set out on a new treasure hunt for a cross worth its fair share in historical and financial value.<\/p>\n The Camerons \u2014 sans Sarah, of course, as she is firmly rooted on Team John B after her father tried to kill her \u2014 once again bested the Pogues in the season 2 finale, keeping all the treasure for themselves. However, the friends did escape to an island they have named Poguelandia<\/a>.<\/p>\n That is not where the shocking developments ended either. John B\u2019s father, Big John (Charles Halford<\/strong>), is alive and hiding out in Barbados, where he summoned his former ally Carla Limbrey (Elizabeth Mitchell<\/strong><\/a>) and informed her that she would have to help his son if she wanted to find a supposedly healing shroud.<\/p>\n Esten spoke exclusively to Us Weekly<\/em> in July 2021 about the season 2 finale, teasing that Ward\u2019s altercation with John B<\/a> will only solidify the teen\u2019s relationship with his daughter<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s a really amazing moment where he\u2019s like, \u2018What\u2019s more important to me? My anger? My revenge?\u2019 It\u2019s very Star Wars<\/em>,\u201d the Nashville<\/em><\/a> alum said. \u201c\u2018What\u2019s more important now? Is it my dark side? Do I satisfy my dark side in this moment? Or \u2014 she\u2019s my light. She\u2019s my light side. Do I go in that direction?\u2019 That\u2019s what those decisions are all about. That\u2019s why he\u2019s our hero and [Ward] is not.\u201d<\/p>\n Although Netflix has yet to renew Outer Banks<\/em> for season 3, more episodes seem inevitable after its successful season 2 release in July 2021. As for what is ahead, Esten predicted that the sky is the limit.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t believe [the writers] know. I love that about them,\u201d the actor told Us<\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s almost, like, if Houdini did a magic trick and goes, \u2018OK, I\u2019m going to put myself in this straight jacket and hang myself upside down by this chain, and this train is coming,\u2019 and people go, \u2018How do you get out of it?\u2019 And he goes, \u2018I don\u2019t know. I haven\u2019t figured that part out yet!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
