Outer Banks Season 3 full cast & characters

Most of the cast of Outer Banks is returning from the first two seasons, including the entire main cast. The group of Pogues will be joined by a new member, Cleo, who John B and Sarah met while on the run in the Bahamas in Season 2.

The crew will be facing old foes and new ones, as Sarah’s father and brother are still in pursuit of the Pogues. But they will also run afoul of new enemies, including a Caribbean mob boss in search of the treasure. Read on to find out who is who…

John B: Chase Stokes

Sarah Cameron: Madelyn Cline

Cline had appeared in several TV series such as Stranger Things before landing a role on the Outer Banks. Since then, she has appeared in Rian Johnson’s mystery thriller Glass Onion, which was released to massive acclaim.

JJ Maybank: Rudy Pankow

JJ is the wild card of the Pogues, with a quick trigger and hot temper that can often get his friends into trouble. That said, he’s also incredibly loyal and easy-going, always getting a laugh from his friends right when they need it most.

Pankow’s other notable roles include playing a young Nathan Drake in the Uncharted movie, along with some other smaller roles.

Kiara Carrera: Madison Bailey

In addition to Outer Banks, Bailey has appeared in a few other small TV roles, most notably a six-episode arc on Black Lightning.

Pope Heyward: Jonathan Daviss

Pope is the brains of the Pogue operation, a high-achiever with a bright future that is often getting derailed by the rest of the group. Though a bit more cautious than the rest, he is loyal to the Pogues more than anything, even willing to sacrifice his future for them.

Daviss has also gotten a larger movie part since starring on Outer Banks. He appeared in the Netflix revenge comedy ‘Do Revenge’ in a significant role.

Cleo: Carlacia Grant

Rafe Cameron: Drew Starkey
