The Netflix original series, “Outer Banks,” has captured the attention of millions and with season 3 releasing on Feb. 23, viewers can barely contain their excitement.

For nearly three years, Outer Banks has been one of Netflix’s most popular shows, and for a good reason. The show follows the life of John B. and his group of friends on their mission to find the lost treasure his dad was never able to find. The show is filled with suspense, action and lots of romance. The show’s fast-paced nature has kept fans enthralled and excited for more.

After the release of the most recent trailer for the new season, fans have already started speculating about what will come. Some fans on Reddit believe that the Pogues, which consist of John B, Pope, JJ, Sarah Cameron and Kiara, will “break up.” Some believe the return of John B.’s dad will be somewhat responsible for this separation. One fan states “I bet the group splits into two factions basically: John B. and Sarah go with Big John (John B’s dad)  and Limbrey (a character who is also trying to find the treasure) cause, well it’s John B.’s dad back from the grave. Then Pope, Ki, Cleo, and JJ go and try to find the treasure on their own because it’s rightfully Pope’s.”

Another fan theory is that one of the main characters will die. Nothing has been confirmed in regard to who will be the unlucky character, but that has not stopped fans from guessing. Quite a few fans have come to the conclusion that one of the Pogues will die while others believe it will be Ward or Topper. Many predict that Rafe will kill Ward, his own father, and Rafe will become the main villain. Others anticipate that Big John and Ward will have some sort of face off and one of them will die, for real this time.

On a happier note, fans have gone wild with predictions about romantic relationships that may come to fruition in season 3. A fan favorite is JJ and Kiara. A clip in the most recent trailer suggests that Jiara might finally happen. In the trailer, there was a clip of Kiara and what appears to be JJ standing awfully close to each other and Kiara seems to be leaning in to kiss JJ. The clip barely even lasts one full second but this was enough of a confirmation for fans. Co-creator/showrunner Josh Pate told EW that “Later on in the season, almost a whole episode is devoted to that relationship. It was a big card we really wanted to play and make it a big thing.”

It is safe to say that no matter how many conspiracies fans come up with, no one knows for sure how it will end. The only thing left to do is watch the new season on Feb. 23.
