Premise of The Buccaneers season 2
A feature released by Apple TV+ Press reads:
"In the first season of “The Buccaneers,” a group of fun-loving young American girls exploded into the tightly corseted London of the 1870s, setting hearts racing and kicking off an Anglo-American culture clash. Now the Buccaneers are no longer the invaders — England is their home. In fact, they’re practically running the place."
Season 2 will see Nan as the most powerful woman in the country, bearing the title of Duchess of Tintagel. Season 1 saw the end of her tumultuous love triangle between Theo (Guy Remmers) and Guy Thwarte (Matthew Broome), with her marriage to Theo, the Duke of Tintagel. The finale also revealed that her biological mother had returned, sparking suspense for season 2.
Jinny learns she is pregnant and does her best to keep it out of earshot of her abusive husband, James (Barney Fishwick). It would seem Jinny is missing in this new season, with posters of her all over town, accusing her of kidnapping her own unborn child from its father.
Conchita is the new Lady Brightlingsea, using her influence to empower young American heiresses. The trio has grown up and is now tasked with navigating through these new struggles as they continue to make their mark in society.
