Outer Banks Season 1 premiered at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic (April 2020), and the show delivered a bunch of on-screen getaways for the viewers. Season 2 debuted on July 30, 2021, and the show claimed the No. 1 spot on Netflix's global "top 10 TV series in English" list for the first four weeks after its premiere.

The series stars a group of local teens who call themselves "Pogues", played by Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Jonathan Daviss, Madison Bailey, and Rudy Pankow. They are on a mission to find treasure worth $400 million in gold as they navigate their tense rivalry with the wealthy Kooks. Season 2 found John B. (Stokes) and Sarah (Cline) on the run in Bahamas, with friends and foes alike searching for the treasure.

No. Outer Banks Season 3 just wrapped up production, but it's not coming in September 2022. We double-checked the list of movies and TV shows coming to Netflix in September 2022, and unfortunately, it doesn't include OBX 3.

Specific dates have yet to be reported, and it's still unclear when production is expected to end, but it's likely that fans will have to wait longer than expected. Unfortunately, Outer Banks Season 3 will not be released this summer.

According to a recent rumor from the Netflix fan page Netflix Daily Updates on Facebook, it has been reported that Outer Banks Season 3 will arrive on Netflix sometime in December 2022.

If you've caught up with the show, it's likely that you're excited to find out what will happen to the Pogues, and how they will be able to get the treasure, and how John B's father will play a role following the surprising finale of Season 2. During an interview with EW, showrunner Josh Pate previously confirmed that "John B's relationship with his dad is a huge theme [to shape Season 3]."

"Having his dad back around and eventually they're going to meet back up and John B has to reconcile his idealised version of his dead dad with the reality of his alive dad," Pate added. "It gives us a lot of thematic father-son stuff to work with."

There's a good chance Outer Banks Season 3 will arrive in 2022, but we'll have to wait for Netflix to officially confirm its premiere date. For now, you can check everything we know about Outer Banks Season 3 here

At this time, the official episode count for Outer Banks Season 3 is still unknown. Since the first two seasons each consist of 10 episodes, it's likely that there will also be 10 new episodes when the new season comes out.

During an interview with Garden & Gun, Outer Banks co-creator Josh Pate teased that they currently have six seasons planned, but Netflix hasn't confirmed a fourth season yet.

"It’s going to get bigger," Pate said. "Season two is an escalation of season one, and season three escalates from season two. The mythology of the treasure expands and gets, hopefully, more exciting. We never know for sure what will happen, but I currently have six seasons planned in my head."
