Calling all Bridgerton fans who want more girl squad power in their irreverent period drama: it's time to check out The Buccaneers. Apple TV+'s show, inspired by Edith Wharton’s unfinished final novel of the same name, stars an ensemble including Kristine Frøseth and Christina Hendricks and follows a group of young American women who turn London upside down when they debut in the old-fashioned social scene ready to find eligible husbands. The beloved first season, which concluded on December 13, 2023, wrapped up eight episodes of whirlwind romances, coming-of-age soul-searching, anachronistic needle drops, and Gilded Age fashions. Thankfully for fans, just days later, Apple TV+ announced that the witty series has been renewed for a second season.
"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," series creator Katherine Jakeways said in a statement. "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."
