Will ‘The Buccaneers’ get a season three?

The extravagant and steamy affairs of English high society make a return in the second season of The Buccaneers.

Created by Katherine Jakeways and based on the unfinished novel by Edith Wharton, the historical drama series follows five wealthy and ambitious American women as they navigate culture clashes and love affairs among the London elite.

Kristine Froseth, Alisha Boe, Aubri Ibrag, Josie Totah, Imogen Waterhouse, Mia Threapleton, and Christina Hendricks all reprise their roles, alongside newcomers Leighton Meester, Greg Wise, Jacob Ifan, Grace Ambrose and Maria Almeida.

After the first season debuted in November 2023 on Apple TV+, the second season premiered on June 18, 2025.
