After Netflix dropped a full-length "Outer Banks" Season 3 trailer on February 2, a number of fans online shared their delight at its suggestion of an explicit romance between Pogues Kiara and JJ. Twitter user @lydiaa_24, for example, shared a brief video clip from the trailer in which the two characters lean in toward one another with the caption, "THEY'RE GONNA KISS FINALLY CRYING."
Meanwhile, a number of "Outer Banks" fans are describing this upcoming storyline as a realization of a ship they refer to as Jiara. User @giselleb1234, for instance, posted four screenshots from the trailer of Kiara and JJ together with the caption, "Oh Jiara is happening this season I can feel it." Similarly, user @ansiadivita shared the same video clip of the near-kiss and described it as a victory for proponents of the Jiara pairing.
On Reddit too, in the immediate wake of the trailer's premiere, user Rebeca-A started a thread dedicated to the fact that this long-awaited Jiara romance is seemingly coming to fruition. Fans invested in this and the numerous other ongoing storylines set up by the end of "Outer Banks" Season 2 can find out exactly what's next for the Pogues when "Outer Banks" Season 3 premieres to Netflix on February 23.
