That’s definitely progress.
But he’ll only help her if she helps his son John B.
Will the Pogue’s nemesis become their greatest ally?
Now that’s a juicy twist to keep fans guessing untilNetflixrenewsOuter Banksfor season 3.
So much for JJ’s “no Pogue-on-Pogue mackin'!”
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Big John is alive!
Did you always know you were going to end this season on that reveal?
JONAS PATE:We always knew it was a possibility and we have this card we can play.
SHANNON BURKE:There was even a thought at some point, remember this guys?
So how is this reveal going to shape season 3?
BURKE:I’m not sure if we should be talking about this yet.
It gives us a lot of thematic father-son stuff to work with.
BURKE:It’s going to be instrumental and maybe the spine [of season 3] basically.
It’s obviously a gigantic revelation that’s going to power a huge part of the third season.
We’re really having our fingers crossed the moment works and that people are excited.
And the Pogues are all together, stranded on this deserted island they’ve named Poguelandia.
What can you tease about how that’s going to go for them moving forward?
That was the plan, kind of architecting the characters towards opening up some romances in season 3.
BURKE:In general, we were basically shot out of a canon in season 2.
JOSH:Teen romance and teen soap are a big part of the show.
We wanted to tease that for the third season.
The Pogues have now lost a fortune twice first with the gold and then with the cross.
How is that going to be affecting them into a new season, especially Pope?
BURKE:This is moving into spoiler territory, so let’s just say TBD.
JOSH:They’re not going to give up going after the gold, though!
BURKE:Yeah, they’re not going to give up.
They’ve been knocked down, and they are not knocked out.
It has to become a bigger mystery across the series.
We’re pretty fired up about how that mythology is going to expand in season 3.
We’ve been reading a lot of books, and we got some good things to hang it on.
JONAS:Denmark Tanney is based on the real story of Denmark Vesey.
His story is slightly different but there are elements that are the same.
It gives a little veneer of realism to the show.
I like writing about it and learning about it.
That was affecting us a lot in season 2, particularly, just shooting there.
Drew just knocked it out of the park this year, he did a great job.
We’re just so fired up for him.
JOSH:It’s hard to play the bad guy and Drew is such a good guy.
[Laughs] We just kept throwing things at him and then he kept doing great with it.
