The standout scene from the Outer Banks Season 3 teaser is a hug between JJ and Kiara. Could this mean it is finally time for the Jiara ship to sail?
Pogues do not mack on Pogues is a golden rule to be broken on Outer Banks, and Season 3 of the teen drama could see JJ and Kiara as the next Pogues to break it. The teaser trailer reveals that the Pogues have found paradise in Poguelandia and one of its most emphasized scenes is a hug between JJ and Kiara. Outer Banks other big ship John B and Sarah is mostly absent throughout the footage. This detail suggests that JJ and Kiara's story will be more prominent in Season 3 like John B is in Season 1 and Pope is in Season 2.
Showrunners Jonas Pate, Josh Pate and Shannon Burke told Entertainment Weekly that romance was always the plan for Season 3. Josh Pate spoke to JJ and Kiara as a fan-favorite ship We wanted to tease that for the third season. We did not want to do it immediately, but we definitely want to do it just because that took us by surprise like the audience's reaction to JJ and Kiara and rooting for that romance. Narratively it is for the best that JJ and Kiara's romance coined Jiara by fans wouldn't begin if it does until sometime in Season 3.
While JJ has yet to have a significant romance on the show, Kiara has had romantic interactions with John B and Pope. Her kiss with John B in Season 1 is purposefully less momentous than her kiss and subsequent relationship with Pope. The former reads as a way to underscore how John B and Kiara are strictly friends with zero romantic chemistry, and that is okay. Alternatively Kiara and Pope give their feelings for each other a chance but it doesn't work out. Refreshingly they pretty quickly bounce back to being the best of friends.
