A second weighed in, "So we're getting the Yellowstone treatment. They'll do prequels on Topper's family, Cameron's families and add in Big John story."

While the above are popular narrative overviews for the new prequel to take, there's one particular storyline that could be explained more thoroughly than it ever has before.

"I think this would be a great way to bring in more of Kie's [Kiara's]
parents and why her Dad went from Pogue to completely hating them," a third replies. What to read next Dutton Ranch star teases hidden secrets will be revealed across the next three episodes Peaky Blinders sequel: cast, plot,

From season 1, it's been assumed that this has come down to bad reputations and general suspicion around who your child chooses to hang out with. But arguably, the main Outer Banks series hasn't done the best job of putting Kiara's (Madison Bailey) backstory to bed.

"This sounds awesome!! Considering the adults/parents seem to all have a connection, itd be cool to see it unfold. Especially Wards come up from Pogue to Kook," a fourth fan weighed in.

For now, we've got no idea about story specifics, the production schedule or potential release window. Until Netflix gives us more details, all we can do in the meantime is hope that the prequel meets our expectations.
