'The Buccaneers' Renewed for Season 2
Apple TV+ has officially renewed its colorful period drama The Buccaneers for a second season.
Based on Edith Wharton's final unfinished novel, the story follows a squad of wealthy American heiresses who journey to England in the hopes of making good marriages and maybe even snagging a title or two. But the heart of the story is the complex relationships between the young women at its center, whose bonds are allowed to be as rich, messy, and necessary as any romance.
The series' first season ended in dramatic style, with Nan confessing her love to Guy Thwarte but choosing to marry Theo and become the Duchess of Tintagel in a bid to help her sister Jinny escape an abusive marriage. Elsewhere, Mabel and Honoria declare their feelings for one another and vow to live their lives together, while Conchita's husband Richard learns that he'll have to abandon his plans to start over with his wife away from his family because his father is dying and he's about to have to take over his peerage. (Also, Conchita's father has lost all their family's money, which will surely be an issue Season 2 needs to address.)
