It’s time to turn back the clock to the 1870s once more for another seductive season of “The Buccaneers.” The hit Apple TV+ series returns for Season 2 with more steamy trysts and socialite drama across its eight episodes.
As the logline teases, the trailer “reveals the next chapter for the young American Buccaneers — sisterhood, romance, wit, steamy love affairs, extravagant gowns, spectacular landscapes and jaw-dropping plot-twists,” which include the clash of Anglo-American cultures in London of the 1870s. “Now the Buccaneers are no longer the invaders — England is their home. In fact, they’re practically running the place,” the synopsis reads. “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.”
