The teen drama Outer Banks went down a hit with fans after it started airing on Netflix earlier this year, and viewers are already calling for a second series. The end of the first season left things on a cliffhanger, with John B (Chase Stokes) and Sarah Cameron (Madelyn Cline) being picked up by a crew on a boat. John B and his girlfriend had been caught in a tropical storm trying to escape the police, after he was framed for the murder of the local sheriff. Fans will be pleased to hear co-creator Josh Pate said he has already been working on a script for the next season.
He told Entertainment Weekly he had been discussing a new season with Netflix before the first season was even released on the streaming platform.
Pate said: “Netflix had greenlit us to write some [season 2] scripts, so we’ve been working on that for a few months now.
“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.”
This will be music to the ears of avid fans who fell in love with John B’s character, and viewers were left feeling emotional having seen the group of friends grow even stronger.

When is season 2 of Outer Banks out?
Sadly an official release date for the second season has not yet been announced, but fans are hoping for some new episodes by Spring 2021.
Some of the cast members had already talked of filming for a potential second season, however due to the coronavirus outbreak production has been put on hold across the globe.
This means fans of the series may have to wait until 2022 for a new series to come out, as communities across the world recover from the impact of the current lockdown.
Pate told Entertainment Weekly: “We’ve sort of long-arced it out pretty far. I’m just hoping that we get a chance to actually tell those stories.
“We feel like we really just played the opening round of that story.”
Who will be in the cast of season 2 of Outer Banks?
The main cast members have attracted hundreds of new fans on their social media accounts since the new series aired.
The series follows a group of teenage friends who call themselves the Pogues, and they work together to try and find hidden treasure connected to the disappearance of John B’s dad.
Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline are likely to return to the series as John B and Sarah Cameron, while fan-favourites like Pope (Jonathan Daviss) and JJ (Rudy Pankow) are also set to star in a new series.
The final member of the group, Kiara (Madison Bailey) should return as we last saw her mourning the disappearance of John B and JJ with the rest of her friends and family.
Charles Esten, who plays Sarah’s dad Ward in the series, has a lot to answer for as he was responsible for the death of Sheriff Peterkin (Adina Porter), so he is also likely to be back.

Is there a trailer for season 2 of Outer Banks?
Sadly there is not a trailer for the second season of Outer Banks as the green light has not yet been given by the streaming platform.
Trailers usually drop the month before the series is due to air, so fans will have to wait until next year, or even 2021, before they see a new trailer.
However fans can still see a lot of new content from the cast members themselves, as they have been posting behind-the-scenes pictures and videos on their social media pages.
Chase Stokes posted an interview with MTV news on his Twitter account, and in the video the cast speak about how they are able to portray modern relationships in the series.
In a recent Tweet he said: “Ok big favor. Tell your friends to tell your friends to tell their friends to watch obx this weekend.
“If you really want some season 2, this weekend is the one that counts. Show some love, tweet away, and binge the hell out of our baby. We love you guys. Let’s ride! #OuterBanks.”
What will happen in season 2 of Outer Banks?
There are plenty of avenues for a season two to take as the final episode left fans with so many questions.
There are hopes John B and Sarah will be taken to the Bahamas on the boat, thanks to the crew who saved them.
Fans are hoping they will finally locate the treasure linked to the disappearance of John B’s dad.
The rest of the gang are unaware their friends are still alive, so it will be interesting to see how they make the discovery and how they cope without John B and Sarah in the meantime.
Season two is also likely to see the comeuppance of Ward, as police have started to grow more suspicious of him, with John B ratting him out in front of police.
