We wanted to expand her opportunities not so much in Season 2, but going forward with Season 3 - and we especially wanted to expand upon the opportunities of teen romance within the group. Josh Pate: Regarding whether she’s going to be part of the Pogues, the answer is yes. Let’s get into Cleo’s narrative arc from the start of the season to its finish: she’s willingly - albeit stubbornly - helping out the Pogues now, but does that mean she’s one of them? Why did you find her character to be an essential addition to the season’s plot? I’m a foodie and I like to go out to eat a lot, so while we were in production, I took a lot of my food to-go for precautions. The limits I faced centered around interacting with anyone who wasn’t in our production bubble. Especially while traveling, it was important to follow all safety protocols, so we didn’t come in contact with COVID-19. I think COVID-19 affected how cautious we had to be both on and off set.
By the time we were actually ready to film in the tight spaces, we had already run the combat choreography hundreds of times. It was important for us to also have rehearsals in between sets sometimes when the camera was being set up. Sometimes after dinner our stunt team and I would run a blocking rehearsal with padded mats and safety gear in place. I think we were one of the first Netflix shows back, and one of the first to finish because we didn’t really get shut down.Ĭarlacia Grant: We had a lot of blocking, safety, and camera rehearsals. We were lucky we had very few positive COVID infections over the course of shooting new reels last week. For the folks that were in close quarters, they were all vaccinated and COVID-free. Jonas Pate: Everybody was tested three times a week, and we were basically quarantining when we weren’t working. How did you ensure that the cast and crew were protected and felt safe during the pandemic while filming? Many of the finale’s scenes are filmed in tight spaces, with combat choreography thrown in the mix. Shannon Burke: Our goal is to always have things that are somewhat based on history - this is a fictional story, obviously, but from the start, we’ve been planning to encapsulate it all and to try to keep expanding as much as possible. Hopefully, in Season 3, we have mythology in which The Royal Merchant and the cross plug into an even bigger story, also based on historical research. Treasure hunts are a major component of the show, and their pursuit of The Royal Merchant’s gold had hit a wall, and we knew that we needed to expand the mythology of the treasure hunt moving forward.
Josh Pate: It was based on some historical research on Denmark Vesey, although there wasn’t a lone specific story it was like an amalgam. Why did you throw another treasure hunt into the mix with the “Cross of Santo Domingo” storyline? Is the fictitious artifact based on any in real life?
Here, Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, Burke and Grant talk with Variety to get into the nitty-gritty of the finale, including the induction of a new Pogue and the surprise resurrection of another, as well as plans for Season 3. We don’t exactly know which deserted island or beach the gang has washed up at, but we know that the next chapter for these sun-kissed, rowdy teens would include each other - even if some relational and romantic dynamics get shaken things up, such as with new member Cleo ( Carlacia Grant). (Season 3 has not officially been greenlit yet but if it is, “sunsets and shining water - because that’s part of who we are” will be another constant,” says co-creator and executive producer Shannon Burke.) “They are intensely loyal to each other, and that’s a constant,” says co-creator and executive producer Josh Pate.
But the deep bonds of friendship are also on display when Kiara (Madison Bailey) rescues a drowning JJ (Rudy Pankow), throwing caution aside and jumping in the water, and when Pope (Jonathan Daviss) lets go of his highly valuable family heirloom, the fictitious Cross of Santo Domingo, in order to help his friends.
#Outer banks cross weight full
The Season 2 finale alone is a tense, action-packed hour full of family drama and fights (aboard various forms of water transportation, as is always the case with “Outer Banks”).
