1. Outer Banks:
After losing possession of the gold and escaping the Outer Banks, Season 3 finds the Pogues washed ashore on a desert island, which for a moment feels like a perfect home.

But things start going south for John B, Sarah, Kiara, Pope, JJ, and Cleo when a race for treasure takes its course, with everybody’s lives on the line.
Broke, far from home and harbouring suspicion on everybody possible, Ward and Rafe are hungry for revenge, and to add to misery there’s a Caribbean Don who will stop at nothing, to get his hands on the treasure. Was the treasure ever in their reach? Or was it all just a part of a plan to stop them forever? Either way, it’s the Pogues against the world – and there’s only one way out, it’s together.
