Madelyn Cline accidentally shares the release date for ‘Outer Banks’ Season 3

In a red carpet interview that has since gone viral on TikTok, Cline, who plays Sarah Cameron in the series, talks about wrapping filming. “[The new season] is on its way,” she said. Then, Cline said “February 23,” but second-guessed herself and asked “February 22?” before a distraught look came over her face. Cline looked to the side (presumably at a representative) to learn she wasn’t supposed to announce the season 3 premiere date.

Outer Banks being out in February sounds so wrong,” said one fan on Reddit. Others agreed, wanting the new episodes to come out sometime in the late spring or early summer. Other fans were just happy to have more information about the upcoming release.

Teaser for the new season of ‘Outer Banks’ gives more clues about new episodes

“My pops always said, ‘Nothing good comes easy; nothing worthy is given,'” John B. (Chase Stokes) says in the teaser for Outer Banks Season 3. “Question is, what are you willing to do to win? How far will you go to get your treasure?” 

The Pogues are after $400 million in stolen gold in the first season of the Netflix series. However, in season 2, their focus shifts to Pope’s (Jonathan Daviss) birthright, the Cross of Santo Domingo. At the end of the season, the Pogues end up stranded on Poguelandia cross-less.

Season 3 will pick up where the second season left off. Based on the trailer, it looks like Ward gets his hands on the cross at some point. Whether or not this will be the driving force of action in the new season remains unclear. 

The trailer also shows Ward screaming in peril while holding Deputy Shoupe (Cullen Moss). Will the Outer Banks lose another police figure like Sheriff Peterkin (Adina Porter)?
