Much like its main characters, The Buccaneers hit the Apple TV+ scene with flash and fervor.

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!)

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.
