Less than 10 days after the Season 1 finale aired, Apple TV+ reports that there are more episodes ahead for its period drama,The Buccaneers. Making its case that the world can always use another young adult-packed period piece oozing with sexual tension and scandal,The Buccaneersisalready givingBridgertona run for its money.The renewal news will undoubtedly come as a sigh of relief for fans afterSeason 1 left several plots dangling on a cliffhanger.While a call sheet hasn’t been solidified, audiences can expect to see the familiar leading faces ofKristine Frøseth(Sharp Stick),Josie Totah(Saved by the Bell),Alisha Boe(When You Finish Saving The World),Imogen Waterhouse(The Outpost), andAubri Ibrag(Dive Club) reprising their roles as the titular group of friends.
The premiere season ofThe Buccaneersintroduced audiences to the five besties from the United States who traveled to London during the 1870s on a mission of mischief and marriage.Bringing their American attitudes abroad, the young ladies certainly make a name for themselves, breathing new life into the city, and making friends and enemies along the way. On their journey for love and status, the girls flirt to their hearts’ desire, searching for theperfect suitor to wed.
What Will Season 2 of ‘The Buccaneers’ Be About?
As of right now, no specific plot details for the show’s sophomore installment have been released, but we can presume that it will follow in the footsteps ofEdith Wharton’s unfinished novel of the same name, just as the introductory batch of episodes did. Because Wharton passed away before she was able to finish penning her story,The Buccaneers’ showrunner,Katherine Jakeways,has plenty of directions to go in. For one, there’s the question of who Nan St. George’s (Frøseth) birth mother is and what lies ahead for her now thatshe’s wed to the Duke of Tintagel(Guy Remmers). And then there’s the adorable budding relationship between Honoria Marable (Mia Threapleton) and Mabel Elmsworth (Totah) which officially took flight at the end of the first season. We love seeing a good dose of queer representation and areeager to watch how it continues to unfold.
The show also took a page from Sofia Coppola’sMarie Antoinette, mixing modern music with its centuries-old setting.Artists that were heard during the first season included Taylor Swift,Yeah Yeah Yeahs,Bikini Kill,Brandi Carlile,Maggie Rogers,Angel Olsen, and more, meaning that Season 2 will likely up the ante to impress returning viewers.
Who Else Will Be in Season 2 of ‘The Buccaneers’?
Of course, everything is uncertain right now as, beyond its renewal, no further details have been released. However, we can guess that, along with theleading ladies, the second season will also see the return ofJosh Dylan(Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again),Matthew Broome(Scandaltown), andBarney Fishwick(Living). There will also likely be some new players added to the fold, stirring up the drama for the group of gals and guys.
