At times, it can feel like "Outer Banks" only gets more and more over-the-top with each successive episode. Season 3 of the Netflix teen drama series certainly follows the trend, with its teenage lead characters engaging in all manner of death-defying stunts. In fact, the premiere episode features the cast in what is arguably their most ambitious and intense action sequence yet.
Having been finally rescued from their stint on a deserted island starting at the end of "Outer Banks" Season 2, the group of Pogue castaways soon find themselves in a new situation that's somehow even more dangerous. A scuffle with the suspicious pilot who picked them up from the island leads to their plane crashing down in open water, and it's just as action-packed of a sequence as one might hope.
The "Outer Banks" plane crash scene may be fictional, but it was still frighteningly real in many ways for Madison Bailey, the cast member behind Kiara. In an interview with Netflix TUDUM, Bailey shared the challenges she faced while shooting this intense sequence. "They put the plane in the real ocean," the actress explained. "We were in the ocean, and it wasn't close to the shore."
Treading water off the coast of Barbados (where "Outer Banks" is filmed) is already quite a taxing task for the show's cast, especially when factoring in the time spent getting everything set up for filming. However, Bailey had an even more physically demanding role for these scenes than many of the other actors. In one particular sequence, she had to swim with a grown man on her side while rescuing an unconscious Jimmy (Kraig Dane) from the wreckage of the plane.
Interestingly enough, the cast of "Outer Banks" does have stunt doubles for more demanding scenes, but it seems the main actors ended up handling this intense sequence themselves. The dedication of the cast and crew of "Outer Banks" is evident in their commitment to delivering captivating and realistic action sequences.
