The Buccaneers are back for Season 2 and no longer fish out of water. The girls are now steeped in the class struggles that comes with being in England, and are wrestling with all of the soapiness that comes with living in the Victorian Era. In this Goggler exclusive, we speak to Matthew Broome, Imogen Waterhouse, Barney Fishwick about their characters, internal conflicts, and approaching subtext in a dialog heavy series.
Season 2 of The Buccaneers is now streaming on Apple TV Plus.
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. 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 kidnapping 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 that consume all women of any age, no matter what year it is. Last time we got a taste of England. This time we’re in for a veritable feast.
