Rudy Pankow, star of Netflix’s adventure series Outer Banks, teases his character's season 3 story.

Also starring Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, and Madison Bailey, Outer Banks first premiered in April 2020 and was renewed for a second season the following July. A third season was then commissioned at the end of 2021, filming for which is ongoing.
