Only a Kook wouldn’t press play.
Remember when Outer Banks used to be a quaint show about an abandoned kid and his buds stealing gold from a rich jerk? Well, the treasure at the center of this YA drama is about to get a whole lot bigger. Netflix has dropped the first trailer for Outer Banks Season 3, which premieres on February 23. And we have two words for you: El Dorado. Yep, it looks like the fabled City of Gold is very much real, so you know John B (Chase Stokes) and the gang are on the case.
Outer Banks‘ newest trailer starts with simply the best voiceover imaginable: “From the very beginning, there was always Kooks and Pogues,” John B says. “Some people with everything, and some with nothing. That’s the way it’s always been… until now.”
10/10. No notes.
It then immediately switches gears to show JJ (Rudy Pankow) holding a copy of V.S. Naipaul’s The Loss of El Dorado. Sure, in reality, that’s a book about the history of Venezuela and Trinidad. But if the multiple idols that appear in the trailer and the unknown man growling about El Dorado are to be believed, this seemingly innocuous text is a big ole clue.
