The second season performed just as well as the first , so a third one was in order . However , the show partly fell off during the 2023 episode .

Once spectator finished time of year 3 , some were disordered .

Season 3 didn’t include enough time in North Carolina

One of the biggest complaints about time of year 3 was that it frequently took the Pogues — John B , Kiara , JJ , Pope , Sarah , and Cleo — by from the Outer Banks . The show is calledOuter Banks , after all , and its setting is meaning to its primal story , so it would make sense if most of it conduct position in North Carolina . However , the characters traveled to Barbados , South America , and other locations throughout the ten instalment .

Of course , Rafe is an enough choice to take over his father ’s villainous role , but it might be more interesting to convey in a unexampled Big Bad . Singh was a bomb , and Carla has been seriously underused , so her potential as a villain has not been try out . Ward plant the cake high , andif season 4 is to return to season 1 ’s greatness , it need a great and complex adversary .

Then , a man approached the friend mathematical group with a proposition to findBlackbeard ’s treasure .

Outer Banksseason 4 is schedule to premier in 2024 .

Of naturally , the termination of theOuter Banksseason 3 finale set up succeeding instalment , including what the Pogues ' next adventure will revolve around . Butit ’s indecipherable why it had to find 18 month after El Dorado instead of shortly after the uncovering . therefore , when season 4 premiere , the episodes must show why the prison term jump was necessary for the upcoming story .

The Netflix series must fill in the gaps

The flashing - forward during theOuter Banksseason 3 finish briefly updated the audience on what fall out to John B , Sarah , JJ , Pope , Kiara , and Cleo during the missing months . However , it felt like there were a few missing pieces , include the state ofJJ and Kiara ’s relationship , andthere must have been some play in the central friend chemical group in the span of those 18 months . So , season 4 should admit a handful of flashbacks to excuse what happen to the Pogues from when they returned from South America to the Clarence Day they were celebrate for finding El Dorado .

Nothing takes the audience out of a boob tube show more than mistake made by the cast and crew , and it ’s time for theOuter Bankswriters to clean up the narrative .

In Netflix ’s Outer Banks , JJ Maybank has just as many excited lines as he does witty one - liner , and they are all memorable .

1No Rushed Plots

Season 3 rushed the treasure hunt story

However , the rush terminate to the gem hunt and the overall story during the finale leave alone a glowering taste perception in some TV audience ' mouths .
