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
The leader of the Pogues, John B. Routledge kicked off the whole adventure after his father disappeared at sea. Headstrong and fearless, John B is always getting the group into a new adventure…and often a lot of hot water.
Other than Outer Banks, Stokes has appeared in a number of other television series including a small role on Stranger Things.
Sarah Cameron: Madelyn Cline
Sarah starts out the series as the “Kook Princess,” the daughter of one of the wealthiest families in the Outer Banks. However, she eventually gets involved with John B and his adventures, becoming an honorary Pogue in the process.
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
Like Sarah, Kaira is also from a wealthy family in the Outer Banks, but she has been adopted as a Pogue for a long time before the series began. She is often the force of reason among the Pogues and is quick-witted.
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
During Season 2, John B and Sarah met Cleo while on the run in the Bahamas. Street-smart and tough, Cleo joins up with the Pogues at the end of the second season.
The most notable credit for Grant other than the Outer Banks is an eight-episode stint on the TV show Greenleaf.
Ward Cameron: Charles Esten
Sarah Cameron’s father, Ward is often the antagonist to the Pogues in the first two seasons. Though he is a respected member of the community, Ward has also faked his own death and exploited his relationship with his children to enrich himself.
Other than Outer Banks, Esten had been a main cast member on the drama series Nashville for six years and played the duplicitous Josh Porter on The Office.
Rafe Cameron: Drew Starkey
Ward’s son and Sarah’s older brother, Rafe is an unstable individual who is frequently aggressive and violent. He is heavily involved with criminals on the Outer Banks but is protected by his family’s wealth.
Starkey has also appeared on the television series The Terminal List and Scream.
Topper Thornton: Austin North
The “King of the Kooks”, Topper is Sarah’s ex-boyfriend. He continues to try and protect her, often clashing with John B and the rest of the Pogues.
North’s other most notable role includes playing Logan Watson on I Didn’t Do It for two seasons.
