In the first season of The Buccaneers, a group of fun-loving young American girls loosened the tightly corseted London scene of the 1870s on the brink of The Gilded Age in America. Their arrival signalled an Anglo-American culture clash. The first season’s soundtrack contained many modern songs by all women musicians from Olivia Rodrigo to Taylor Swift as well as Japanese Breakfast, Brandi Carlile, Lucy Dacus, Bikini Kill and several more.

Season 1 left of with Nan making a tough choice to protect her sister Jinny and sacrificing her feelings to maintain peace between families. But we haven’t seen the last of Guy Thwarte it looks like.

“She chose me,” Guy Remmers’ Theo’s assertion from last season plays over the Season 2 teaser clip (above), followed Broome’s Thwarte responds “Did she?”

Now the Buccaneers are no longer the invaders – England is their home. In fact 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 kidnap 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… themes consuming all women of any age, no matter what year it is. Last season’s taste of England made way for a veritable feast this season

Season 1 of The Buccaneers made its debut into streaming society November 8, 2023 with a speedy Season 2 renewal not even a week after the finale arrived Dec. 13 that year.

Written by series creator Katherine Jakeways, season two is directed by BAFTA Award winner William McGregor, DGA Award winner Rachel Leiterman, John Hardwick and Charlie Manton. Jakeways, BAFTA Award nominee Beth Willis and BAFTA Award winner Susanna White serve as executive producers. The Buccaneers is produced for Apple TV+ by The Forge Entertainment, a Banijay UK company.
