Following the successful season one conclusion, Apple TV+ has renewed “The Buccaneers,” the acclaimed drama from The Forge based on Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edith Wharton’s unfinished final novel of the same name, for a second season. Kristine Frseth (“The Assistant,” “Sharp Stick”) plays Nan St. George, Alisha Boe (“When You Finish Saving The World,” “13 Reasons Why”) plays Conchita Closson, Josie Totah (“Saved by the Bell”) plays Mabel Elmsworth, Aubri Ibrag (“Dive Club”) plays Lizzy Elmsworth, and Imogen Waterhouse (“The Outpost,” “Nocturnal Animals”) plays Jinny St. Mrs. St. George is played by Emmy Award winner Christina Hendricks (“Mad Men”), and Honoria Marable is played by Mia Threapleton (“Shadows,” “I Am Ruth”). The entire first season of “The Buccaneers” is now available on Apple TV+.

Since its worldwide premiere on November 8, “The Buccaneers” has been described as a “lavish period drama that feels fresh and modern, with a fast-paced, twisting narrative” that is a “decadent and delicious” “shot of adrenaline” and “a ton of fun to watch.” The series gained consistent accolades from critics and fans worldwide as each new episode of “The Buccaneers” appeared week after week on Apple TV+.

“It’s been a complete thrill to watch people all over the world fall in love with these characters, who’ve been brought to such vibrant life by our spectacular cast,” Katherine Jakeways, the creator of the series, told Variety. “We know season one left audiences desperate to know what’s next for our buccaneers, so I’m absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to explore the further adventures of this smart, joyful, messy sisterhood.”

“The irreverence and wit of ‘The Buccaneers’ charmed global audiences, and we’re excited to be working with Katherine Jakeways and The Forge again on the next adventure for Nan and her friends,” said Jay Hunt, creative director for Apple TV+ in Europe.

A group of carefree young American girls bursts into the tightly corseted London season of the 1870s, igniting an Anglo-American culture clash as the country of the stiff upper lip is penetrated by a refreshing disdain for centuries of tradition. The buccaneers are sent to gain husbands and titles, but their hearts are bent on much more, and saying “I do” is only the beginning…
