The Buccaneers: Apple TV+ renews period drama for second season

Apple TV+ wasted no time renewing The Buccaneers for more episodes, just under 10 days after the Season 1 finale. With its mix of youthful drama, simmering tension, and scandal, The Buccaneers is poised to rival Bridgerton.

Fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the renewal promises resolution to Season 1's cliffhangers. While the cast details are pending, viewers can anticipate the return of familiar faces, including Kristine Frøseth, Josie Totah, Alisha Boe, Imogen Waterhouse, and Aubri Ibrag.

In the first season of The Buccaneers, viewers were introduced to a quintet of close friends hailing from the United States. Set against the backdrop of 1870s London, their escapades blended mischief and matrimony.


Infusing the city with their American charm, these spirited young ladies left an indelible mark, forming alliances and rivalries alike. Setting on a quest for love and social standing, the girls unabashedly flirted in pursuit of the ideal suitor for matrimony.

What to expect in second season of 'The Buccaneers'?

While specific plot details remain undisclosed, it's expected to draw inspiration from Edith Wharton's unfinished novel. With ample creative possibilities, showrunner Katherine Jakeways may explore Nan St. George's quest for her birth mother and the future as the Duchess of Tintagel.

In addition, the charming connection between Honoria Marable and Mabel Elmsworth, a delightful representation of queer relationships, will captivate viewers as it evolves further.

Taking inspiration from Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, the series seamlessly blends contemporary music with its historical backdrop.

Season one featured a diverse lineup including Taylor Swift, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Bikini Kill, Brandi Carlile, Maggie Rogers, Angel Olsen, and more. With such musical diversity, Season 2 aims to elevate the experience for returning fans.

Presently, it is uncertain since no additional details have been disclosed beyond the show's renewal. Nevertheless, it's reasonable to anticipate the return of key cast members like Josh Dylan (known for "Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again"), Matthew Broome (from "Scandaltown"), and Barney Fishwick (featured in "Living") in the upcoming second season.

Expect some fresh faces to join the mix, introducing new dynamics and adding to the drama for both the female and male characters.

For those interested, Season 1 of The Buccaneers is available for streaming on Apple TV+ in the U.S.
