We ’ll soon be coming up to 6 months after season 2 of External Banks is released on Netflix and we ’re still yet to officially hear whether the show will be back or not. What are the chances External Banks returns for season 3 and what could we anticipate from the third season? Let’s take a look.
First debuting in April 2020, the show returned for a largely awaited alternate season in July 2020.
The show specially picked up several award nominations at the People’s Choice Awards following season 2 including stylish drama and stylish manly Television star.
So all that leads us to whether or not the show is coming back for season 3. Then’s what we know.
Has External Banks Been Renewed for Season 3 at Netflix?
Official Renewal Status Not yet renewed ( Last streamlined November 2021)
Despite rumors including bone that went viral on Facebook saying that the series has been canceled, we ’re still yet to officially hear what’s in store for External Banks going forward.
According to the post (which comes from a runner unaffiliated with Netflix) they said “ External Banks is officially cancelled by Netflix after season 2, according to Netflix the alternate season did n’t give the return they wanted.” We ’ve reached out to the runner but as our musketeers at Netflix Life indicate, it should be disregarded.
Numerous feel to look towards Small- Screen (a scoop point that frequently gets effects wrong) who said that season 3 is moving forward saying that filming will start in 2021 for release in the middle of 2022 but that looks to be incorrect as of November 2022.
So, how well did External Banks season 2 perform on Netflix? Thanks to some new criteria, we’ve the answer.
Between July 26th and August 1st, 2021 the series accrued322.59 million viewing hours encyclopedically on Netflix. It was number 1 for the first four weeks of it releasing on Netflix.
On the IMDBPro MovieMeter, the series reached the number 8 most popular show on the platform.
Why the hold up on a renewal? Well, we do n’t officially know as you ’ve presumably guessed by now. We can look towards former renewals which took some time for the reason why however.
Campers are frequently a good suggestion of fashionability too with the main caravan for External Banks season 2 hitting over4.7 million views.
With large ensemble casts similar as External Banks, it’s nearly clearly coming down to payment accommodations. After season 2 of colorful shows, we saw major payment accommodations for shows like 13 Reasons Why, Noway Have I Ever, and On My Block.
Another good sign for the show generally is that the social media accounts for the show remain veritably active to this day. Canceled shows frequently get disregarded veritably snappily.
Speaking to Decider shortly after the season 2 premiere, Jonas Pate said regarding the future of the show “ My answer is, as long as we can keep making it good and we ’re still agitated. That’s the number. Surely further than three.”
We ’ve yet to see any product rosters for season 3 of External Banks meaning that if we do get a renewal, it’s likely the show wo n’t get underway until early 2022 eventually meaning a season 3 release in 2022 could be largely questionable.
What to anticipate from Season 3 of External Banks
Still, we can anticipate the series to continue to take plenitude of twists and turns as we ’ve now come habituated to throughout the first 20 occurrences, If the show is renewed.
Let’s snappily recap season 2 of External Banks and where that ’ll lead us into season 3.
The war between the Camerons and the Pogues is likely to continue with Pope likely wanting to recoup the now stolen golden cross. Pope, while fleeing the large vessel says “ it’s not over” as they seek retreat on a remote abandoned islet. They decide to stay on the islet but the liability is they wo n’t be long especially given their family has reported them missing.
Pope will also probably continue to find out his family’s connection to the Cross of Santo Domingo.
Ward Cameron specially faked his death in season 2 and is now trying to live off the radar. After a many run- sways towards the end of a alternate season including John B sparing his life, it’s likely Ward will continue to pay a crucial part in the conflict going forward but will he be caught?
. The biggest question going into season 3 is how and why Big John is back. He seems to allude that he knows where Denmark’s Cross is but was given the opinion of being “ half-dead”. What impact will he have going forward? We ’ll have to stay and see.
What have the cast and crew teased for a third season? Then’s a roundup
Regarding Big John, Josh Pate told EW
“ John B’s relationship with his pater is a huge theme and having his pater back around and ultimately they ’re going to meet back over and John B has to attune his idealized interpretation of his dead pater with the reality of his alive pater. It gives us a lot of thematic father- son stuff to work with.”
Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke have also said that while the Pogues are down they ’re clearly not out suggesting they will be straight back on the quest for gold.
In terms of the love situation in season 3, Madelyn Cline told ET that we ’ll hopefully get to learn about their marriage more saying
“ It ’d be really delightful in season 3, if we get one, to see them actually start to truly get to know each other in a veritably real sense. They ’re wedded, but they actually kind of do n’t know a whole lot about each other. I feel like that would be really delightful. They ’ve obviously been through a lot together.”
Other External Banks News Since Season 2
Outside of the show, you may have heard that Madelyn Cline and Chase Stokes were dating but that relationship looks to have turned sour.
Suckers of the show who are wanting further will surely want to check out the recently released External Banks book named Lights Out by author Alyssa Sheinmel. The book takes place just before season 1 of the main show.
Then’s what you can anticipate from the book
“ It’s spring break in the External Banks, and the islets are swarming with rich excursionists. The last thing JJ and John B want to do is spend their week watching Crackbrains in action, so they plan a fishing flight to the notoriously dangerous Frying Pan Shoals — nicknamed “ Graveyard of the Atlantic” for good reason.”
