Leighton Meester Stuns In 'Buccaneers' Season 2 First Look — See The Pics Here!
Much like its main characters, The Buccaneers hit the Apple TV+ scene with flash and fervor. We fell in love with the St. George sisters, longing to see them find romance and (more importantly) true happiness by any means necessary. We embraced each girl in all their messy, shocking, period drama glory. We watched until the very end, desperately wanting more! And after the popularity of the first season, it's no wonder the network renewed this dreamy show for a second season.
Keep reading for the latest news. (Note: This contains spoilers about season one's finale!)
The Buccaneers season 2 will premiere on Apple TV+ June 18, 2025. Apple shared this exciting BTS clip of our new favorite Regency Era stars having the time of their lives. It's just the boost we need to get through another week!
All our favorite cast members are returning for season 2 — and we'll also see Leighton Meester! 'I was so happy to come on to play any role!" Leighton TV Insider. "That being said, this is the best possible role that I could have ever asked for, and it's going to be a secret until it comes out. Trust me, it's worth the wait.'

We shouldn't be so pressed to discover easter eggs about season 2 of The Buccaneers, but we are! Thankfully Kristine Frøseth revealed the ways she differs from her character Nan St. George and what viewers can expect to see. Though Nan is often seen wearing corsets, Kristine prefers a more casual look. "She's very constricted," the actress said of her character (via ).
In terms of what to expect this season, Kristine didn't reveal season 2's plot (sorry fans). She did say, however, the characters won't be in close proximity like they were in season 1: "I think our characters just are a little bit more separated so we're not seeing each other as much. Last time, we all lived in the same building and it felt like college, and now our storylines are a little bit more spread out...I think that's the biggest change."
We had the opportunity to speak with series creator , and she shared her enthusiasm about creating such a riveting period drama. "We're really excited for people to sort of get to know the world of it and meet these women and experience the female friendship of it," she says, hoping viewers "come out of it going, 'Wow these do feel like people that I know."
Now that The Buccaneers is renewed for another season, she told , "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.'
In the same , Jay Hunt admitted, "...we're excited to be working with Katherine Jakeways and The Forge again on the next adventure for Nan and her friends." If you ask us, it sounds season two of The Buccaneers is off to a great start!
Viewers watch as Nan St. George took a step back in order for her sister Jinny to have a chance to be happy. This leaves her in the position to move forward with her marriage to Theo, Duke of Tintagel, but it appears she her birth mother may be closer than she realized. Our other characters — like Mabel and Honoria — are left to decide how they want to live their lives as well.
It was a shocking cliffhanger and we can see why fans are thirsty for more.
All eight episodes of The Buccaneers are available to stream on Apple TV+. Just be sure to bake a few and grab a glass of to have while you binge watch them.

Save $269 on our favorite open-back headphones and experience music in a whole new way
We may have recently given Sennheiser a bit of flack for launching earbuds that look like AirPods (which is a pretty common thing to do) but that doesn't mean they don't have audiophile-grade offerings. The open-back Sennheiser HD 660S2 are a pretty good example of that. They probably flew under your radar, though, because of their standard price in excess of $600. They're typically rank No. 2 by cost in our list of the best headphones, right after the $1,000+ Dali IO-12. But, right now, with this 40% discount, they're actually cheaper than Apple's AirPods Max. So, if you want to check out audiophile headphones for $411 (that's $269 off their usual price of $680) be sure to tap the button below. Or, keep reading for our take. Why you should buy the Sennheiser HD 660S2 As counterintuitive as it may sound, open-back headphones can absolutely provide a premium sound. The Sennheiser HD 660S2 act as a sort of antonym to the shut-out-the-world ethic of the Sony WH-1000XM6 and not at all in a bad way. These headphones have plush ear cushions with a hefty amount of clamp on the head and an overall minimalist design, though you won't always think of it that way as you peer into the guts of the headphones that their closed-back cousins keep hidden. Our Sennheiser HD 660S2 review calls their sound 'effortless' and says, 'It just springs forth and gently bathes you in its detail, instead of pummeling you, which I now recognize as a possible side effect of closed-back headphones.' Be sure to give the review a read through to see how to get the full audiophile experience from your new HD 660S2s, as well as to get insights on the full extent of how open-back headphones can transform your music listening experience. These audiophile headphones aren't typically down to $411. It's an incredible discount of $269 off of the usual $680 price, making them way more competitive than usual. So, if you want them, don't wait for this deal to go away. However, if you want something else, you should be sure to check out the other best headphone deals going on right now.

Judge Threatens To Bar Sean 'Diddy' Combs From Courtroom If He Continues To Interact With Jurors
Sean 'Diddy' Combs might be barred from his own trial, the judge said Thursday in a bombshell moment. With the jury absent, Judge Arun Subramanian warned defense attorneys in a sidebar that he might exclude the defendant from the Lower Manhattan courtroom if he continued to look, nod or make facial expressions at jurors, CNN reported. More from Deadline Sean 'Diddy' Combs: An Updated Timeline Of Charges, Allegations & Consequences The Rap Mogul Faces Sean 'Diddy' Combs: An Updated Timeline Of Charges, Allegations & Consequences The Rap Mogul Faces Warner Bros Discovery Hits Back At Russell Simmons' "Unfounded Allegations" In Ex-Mogul's $20M Suit Over 2020 Sexual Assault Documentary - Update The admonition came after Subramanian said he saw Combs looking at and 'nodding vigorously' toward the jury twice during today's cross-examination of prosecution witness Bryana Bongolan, who had told the court Wednesday that the defendant had dangled her off a 17th-story balcony in 2016. Subramanian told defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo that he had been clear that there were to be no theatrics during Combs' trial on federal charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, transportation to engage in prostitution and more. 'I looked and I saw your client looking at the jury and nodding vigorously,' CNN reported the judge telling the attorney. 'It is absolutely unacceptable.' Asked by the jurist if it would happen again, Agnifilo said per CNN that it would not. Subramanian said that if there was any further juror interaction by Combs, he might instruct the jury about it and, potentially, consider barring the defendant from the courtroom. Combs, 55, faces up to life in prison if convicted. At the four-week mark of the trial, the jury of eight men and four women in the courtroom has heard explicit and sometimes heartrending testimony about rapes, emotional and physical violence, blackmail, and filmed drug-juiced 'freak-offs' from Combs' former longtime girlfriend Cassie Ventura and his ex-personal assistant 'Mia.'

Apple iOS 26: 5 Significant New Features May Come To AirPods, Report Claims
When Apple announces the new software updates for the iPhone at the keynote for next Monday's World Wide Developers Conference, there will be iOS nuggets which will be relevant for the AirPods, a new report says. AirPods 4 AFP via Getty Images Not all of these are certain to be announced at the keynote, the report from 9to5Mac caveats — in fact maybe none of them will. Most are new, though some have been rumored before. You'll know already that on AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4, you can nod or shake your head to accept or decline a call, for instance. Very handy in a crowded elevator, for instance, even if it does make you look a bit weird. It's reported that new head gestures will include extending the volume adjustment during Conversation Awareness. It's not clear what the gesture might be — there are only so many ways you can tip, twist or move your head. If you haven't tried Audio Mix on the iPhone, it's great. When you record a video, the iPhone can separate different sections of the audio so you can boost voices or create discrete audio effects. It looks like the AirPods could create a microphone mode that's studio quality. We'll have to see what this means. If you fall asleep while listening to something, a new feature can spot this and pause playback, it's claimed. This is especially useful if you're listening to an audiobook and you wake up to hear the AirPods revealing the denouement of a novel when you fell asleep ages ago. Clicking an AirPod stem could trigger the iPhone camera, it's thought. This is good. It's something that was possible years ago with EarPods when you could squeeze the control on the cable. Finally, the report claims that the pairing experience for AirPods when connecting to shared iPads could be improved. Despite the report, I'm not sure all the above will be announced. AirPods tend to get their moment in the sun during the iPhone event in the fall. Even so, it's possible some of them will feature in the keynote or those screens showing 'all the features we haven't had time to show you,' for analysts to spot later.
