Plot Details for The Buccaneers Season 2
The Buccaneers Season 2 picks up after the dramatic Season 1 finale, where Nan married Theo to protect her sister Jinny, despite her feelings for Guy Thwarte. The official logline from Apple TV+ sets the stage. “Now the Buccaneers are no longer the invaders – England is their home. In fact, they’re practically running the place. Nan is the Duchess of Tintagel, the most influential woman in the country. Conchita is Lady Brightlingsea, heroine to a wave of young American heiresses. And Jinny is on every front page, wanted for the kidnap of her unborn child. All of the girls have been forced to grow up and now have to fight to be heard, as they wrestle with romance, lust, jealousy, births, and deaths… themes consuming all women of any age, no matter what year it is.”
