Apple TV+ has set the global premiere date for the second season of the lavish period drama, The Buccaneers. Check out the teaser.
Inspired by the eponymous unfinished novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edith Wharton, The Buccaneers follows a group of fun-loving young American girls who, in the first season, exploded into the tightly corseted London of the 1870s, setting hearts racing and kicking off an Anglo-American culture clash.
The cast includes Kristine Frøseth (The First Lady) as Nan St. George, Alisha Boe (13 Reasons Why) as Conchita Closson, Aubri Ibrag (Dive Club) as Lizzy Elmsworth, Josie Totah (Saved by the Bell) as Mabel Elmsworth, and Imogen Waterhouse (The Outpost) as Jinny St. George. Also returning are Emmy® Award nominee Christina Hendricks (Mad Men) as Mrs. St. George and Mia Threapleton (Dangerous Liaisons) as Honoria Marable.
The ensemble cast also includes Guy Remmers as Theo, Duke of Tintagel, Matthew Broome (My Fault: London) as Guy Thwarte, Josh Dylan (Masters of the Air) as Lord Richard Marable, and Barney Fishwick (House of the Dragon) as Lord James Seadown.
Joining the Season 2 cast are Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl) as Nell, Greg Wise (Strange Angel) as Reede Robinson, Jacob Ifan (Rogue Heroes) as Hector Robinson, Grace Ambrose (Paradise) as Paloma Ballardino, and Maria Almeida (Fifteen-Love) as Cora Merrigan.
In the eight-episode second season, the Buccaneers are no longer the invaders. England is their home, and they’re practically running the place. Nan is the Duchess of Tintagel, the most influential woman in the country. Conchita is Lady Brightlingsea, heroine to a wave of young American heiresses. And Jinny is on every front page, wanted for the kidnapping of her unborn child. All of the girls have been forced to grow up and now have to fight to be heard, as they wrestle with romance, lust, jealousy, births, and deaths.
The Buccaneers: Season 2 premieres globally with one episode on Wednesday, June 18, exclusively on Apple TV+. New episodes will drop every Wednesday through August 6.
A production of The Forge Entertainment, a Banijay UK company, for Apple TV+, Season 2 is written by series creator Katherine Jakeways, and directed by BAFTA Award winner William McGregor (Poldark), DGA Award winner Rachel Leiterman (The Man in the High Castle), John Hardwick (One Day), and Charlie Manton (Everything Now). Jakeways, BAFTA Award nominee Beth Willis, and BAFTA Award winner Susanna White serve as executive producers.
