The teaser for Apple TV+’s The Buccaneers only features five words of dialogue. Theo, Duke of Tintagel (played by Guy Remmers), declares, “She chose me.” Guy Thwarte (played by Matthew Broome) replies, “Did she?” Juicy, right?
Season two stars Kristine Frøseth as Nan St. George, Alisha Boe as Conchita Closson, Aubri Ibrag as Lizzy Elmsworth, Josie Totah as Mabel Elmsworth, and Imogen Waterhouse as Jinny St. George. Christina Hendricks returns as Mrs. St. George, Mia Threapleton is back as Honoria Marable, Josh Dylan reprises his role as Lord Richard Marable, and Barney Fishwick returns as Lord James Seadown.
New cast members include Leighton Meester as Nell, Greg Wise as Reede Robinson, Jacob Ifan as Hector Robinson, Grace Ambrose as Paloma Ballardino, and Maria Almeida as Cora Merrigan.
“In the first season of The Buccaneers, a group of fun-loving young American girls exploded into the tightly corseted London of the 1870s…setting hearts racing and kicking off an Anglo-American culture clash. Now the Buccaneers are no longer the invaders—England is their home. In fact they’re practically running the place,” reads Apple TV+’s synopsis. “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… themes consuming all women of any age, no matter what year it is. Last time we got a taste of England. This time we’re in for a veritable feast.”
The eight-episode second season premieres on June 18, 2025. New episodes stream on Wednesdays.
The Buccaneers is inspired by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel and was created by Katherine Jakeways. Jakeways writes, and BAFTA winner William McGregor, DGA Award winner Rachel Leiterman, John Hardwick, and Charlie Manton direct.
