‘The Buccaneers' Season 2 Is Finally Here—Here's When to Watch

After a whirlwind first season filled with corsets, clashes, and crushes, The Buccaneers is back on Apple TV+ for round two. Inspired by Edith Wharton's final novel, the period drama picks up with Nan, Jinny, Conchita, Lizzy, and Mabel, no longer as fresh arrivals in England's aristocracy, but as powerful players in it.
Now immersed in London society, the American heiresses find themselves navigating new scandals, old flames, and the steep cost of growing up in a world still defined by title and tradition. Nan (Kristine Froseth) is now the Duchess of Tintagel, Conchita (Alisha Boe) has become a household name as Lady Brightlingsea, and Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse) has vanished into infamy after fleeing her marriage with a secret.
Season 2 brings back the original ensemble—Froseth, Boe, Josie Totah, Aubri Ibrag, and Waterhouse—alongside Christina Hendricks, Matthew Broome, Guy Remmers, and Barney Fishwick. Among the newcomers is Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester in a yet-undisclosed role, rumored to be central to one of the season's key mysteries.
In an interview with ELLE in March Boe spoke about Meester joining the cast, saying, 'She's lovely. We were all really excited to have her join and can't say much about who she is playing, but she is great.'
'The show offers a unique perspective about female friendships because they're going through the same things,' Boe added. 'It is a story about sisterhood, and there are five girls in the main ensemble. You get to see friendships, whether good or bad, turn sour and sweet.'
Here's how to stay tuned on the new season.
Season 2 features eight episodes in total, just like season 1.
After the premiere on June 18, new episodes will roll out weekly on Wednesdays, exclusively on Apple TV+. Each installment usually becomes available to stream at 12 A.M. ET/9 P.M. PT the night before.

But I do know my dad has a big sense of humor and I'm sure wherever he is, he's happy knowing I did this show,' added Williamson. Despite the patriarch's checkered history, Williamson remembers his father as 'the best man ever, and so I was like, 'how did such a good man take a left turn?' I feel like we're in a world now where everyone has a side hustle….Everyone's trying to survive and they're doing what they can just to pay the bills. I really wanted to tap into that struggle.'

The full trailer for Season 2 of Apple TV+'s period drama The Buccaneers has arrived, and it teases more sisterhood, romance, love affairs, bold declarations, bright gowns, breathtaking landscapes and a plot twist or two. The second season welcomes series newcomer Leighton Meester, whose character Nell can be seen at the end of the clip asking Christina Hendricks' Patricia St. George to introduce her to Kristine Frøseth's Nan St. George. More from Deadline 'The Buccaneers' Season 2 Casts Greg Wise, Maria Almeida, Grace Ambrose & Jacob Ifan 'The Buccaneers' Season 2 Sets Apple TV+ Release Date; Reveals First Look At Leighton Meester, Photos & Teaser Clip Zoë Kravitz On Playing A "More Psychotic" Version Of Herself In 'The Studio': "If You Can't Make Fun Of Yourself, I Think There's Something Wrong" 'Theo and I are happy,' Nan says at the beginning of the clip. 'I'm in this for life.' This declaration comes after Nan had to make a difficult decision and marry Theo (Guy Remmers), Duke of Tintagel, so that her flame Guy Thwarte (Matthew Broome) could help Nan's sister Ginny (Imogen Waterhouse) escape from her abusive husband Lord James Seadown (Barney Fishwick). 'Everything before 'I do' is now irrelevant,' Theo's mother, the Dowager Duchess of Tintagel (Amelia Bullmore) tells Nan in the woods, sternly advising Nan to be faithful to her husband. 'All Theo needs to know is that he has a dutiful and loving wife, but Annabel, anyone can be a wife. You are…' 'A Duchess,' Nan completes. 'I really want to make this version of my life work. I have to let Guy go.' The clip features Chappell Roan's 'Good Luck Babe,' continuing the tradition established in Season 1 with a modern soundtrack of mostly women artists. Cue Guy's voiceover perspective as he and Jinny escape somewhere bright and sunny with Jinny's baby. 'Everything has changed except the way I feel,' he says as he looks at the newspaper headlines, which tell him what is happening in Nan's world, advertising her honeymoon with Theo. 'Theo thinks this is real,' Nan tells her mother. 'He thinks I chose to marry him.' 'You did the bravest thing I have ever known,' Patty tells Nan. 'And saved your sister.' Nan fiercely stands up to Lord Seadown both one on one and at a dining table full of guests. 'No man should be allowed to own his wife,' she asserts. Cut to a triumphant walk by Nan in a bright red dress with a bold hairstyle as guests turn heads. 'Happily Ever After' flashes in bright neon blue across the long train of her dress. More musical moments and needle drops in Season 2 will include Taylor Swift, as well as songs from Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, Clairo, Sharon Van Etten, St. Vincent, Bleachers and The Last Dinner Party. The original soundtrack for season two celebrates the return of executive music producer Stella Mozgawa and features Empress Of's new single 'Little Secret' out today with the trailer along with new music from Suki Waterhouse, Madi Diaz, Holly Humberstone, Kacy Hill, Jade Bird, Emily Kokal of Warpaint and more.

‘Mindhunter's Holt McCallany Teases 'A Chance' David Fincher Will Revive Series As Film Trilogy
More than five years after the Netflix series ended its two-season run, Mindhunter could get the feature-length trilogy treatment. Holt McCallany, who starred as FBI special agent Bill Tench in the true-crime series, said he recently spoke to creator David Fincher about the possibility of bringing the show back in another form. More from Deadline David Fincher Confirms 'Mindhunter' Is Done At Netflix For Now 'Mindhunter' Future In Limbo As Netflix Series' Cast Is Released & Season 3 Renewal Is Put On Indefinite Hold Kevin Williamson "Loosely" Based 'The Waterfront' On His Dad's Criminal Past: "He Paid The Price" 'I had a meeting with David Fincher in his office a few months ago, and he said to me that there is a chance that it may come back as three two-hour movies, but I think it's just a chance,' he told CBR. 'I know there are writers that are working, but you know, David has to be happy with scripts.' McCallany added: 'And I felt very fortunate and privileged to have gotten to do that show at all. I would love it if it were to return. I think, like I said, you know, he gave me a little bit of hope when I had that meeting with him, but the sun, the moon and the stars would all have to align.' With his new show The Waterfront premiering Thursday on Netflix, McCallany noted the movies also would be for the streaming platform. 'So I think that in terms of dates and logistics, it could all be worked out, but it has to do, you know, with David really having the time and the inclination and being happy, you know, with the material. And, you know, that's a big question mark,' added McCallany. Based on the 1995 true-crime book Mindhunter: Inside the FBI's Elite Serial Crime Unit by John E. Douglas and Mark Olshaker, the series ran for two seasons from 2017-19. McCallany and Jonathan Groff starred as the fictional Tench and Holden Ford, based on the FBI agents who pioneered the modern system of serial-killer profiling. The series re-created some of their interviews with killers such as Ed Kemper, Charles Manson and David Berkowitz.
