Outer Banks star J. Anthony Crane joins What The Film to talk all things Chandler Groff, becoming one of the show’s most hated villains and the shocking death of JJ Maybank.
Crane opens up about learning Groff would kill his own son, texting Rudy Pankow after reading the episode, and what it was like facing the Outer Banks fandom after one of the series’ most devastating moments.
He also takes us behind the scenes of filming the final season, working with Madison Bailey and the cast, Groff’s complicated psychology, filming around the world, and how they approached Groff’s ultimate fate.
Plus, we end with some fun rapid-fire questions about the absolutely unhinged Chandler Groff.
Was Groff always beyond redemption? Let us know what you think.
