Apple TV+ has confirmed a second season of The Buccaneers, the 1870’s based drama from UK producer The Forge.

The show is inspired by author Edith Wharton’s unfinished final novel of the same name and follows a group of fun-loving young American girls as they explore 19th Century London.

It debuted 8 November on the streamer and has been written by Katherine Jakeways (Tracey Ullman’s Show), with season one directed by Susanna White (Bleak House).

Cast includes Kristine Frøseth (The Assistant), Alisha Boe (13 Reasons Why) and Christina Hendricks (Mad Men).

Jakeways said: “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.”

Jay Hunt, creative director in Europe for Apple TV+, said: “The irreverence and wit of The Buccaneers charmed global audiences and we’re excited to be working with Katherine Jakeways and The Forge again on the next adventure for Nan and her friends.”
