Buccaneers<\/a> returning for a second season, the cast has addressed fan comparisons to other hit period dramas like <a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/tag\/bridgerton\/\">Bridgerton<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Victorian-era series, based on Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel, follows a group of <a data-track=\"inline-tag-auto-link_article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/tag\/new-york\/\">New York<\/a> women in the 1870s sent to <a data-track=\"inline-tag-auto-link_article\" href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/tag\/london\/\">London<\/a> to find husbands and high status. <\/p>\n<p>As Conchita (Alisha Boe), Lizzy (Aubri Ibrag), Mabel (Josie Totah), Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse) and Nan (Kristine Froseth) arrive on British shores, they encounter heartache, chaotic love triangles and scandals that could bring ruin to their families. <\/p>\n<p>Set to a modern soundtrack and centred around themes of female empowerment, it joins a growing ilk of period dramas with a 21st-century twist, the most widely known of which is no doubt Netflix’s Bridgerton.<\/p>\n<p>Although the shows are regularly compared by viewers across social media, according to Mabel star Josie Totah, there’s plenty to The Buccaneers that sets it apart from the crowd, as she told<strong> Metro<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>‘I love Bridgerton, I love Nichola Coughlan, but I think what our show does so well is it looks and feels like the perfect line between what feels period and also what\u2019s relatable to today.<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-player\">\n<div class=\"video-player\">\n<div class=\"metro-video-player \"

class=\"factbox-content\">\n<p>Despite already being convinced by the show, the second season still managed to take me by surprise by never going where I expected it to.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the show flies off in a completely different, often more refreshing, direction.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear in this second season that the show takes the responsibility of portraying both the joy and hardships that women faced in this period seriously.<\/p>\n<p>The Buccaneers allows those moments of solidarity and the celebration of womanhood in all of its glory to shine while still giving the space and depth to explore the tougher aspects, always ending on a hopeful note.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>‘I wish we had more steamy scenes,’ Alisha admitted, joking that they’ll report this request to ‘Apple’.<\/p>\n<p>As for the show’s ability to tell a nuanced story, it’s a sentiment echoed by her co-star Imogen Waterhouse, who praised the storylines for their ‘groundedness’ and ‘relatability’.<\/p>\n<p>She plays Nan’s sister Jinny, who is forced to flee her abusive husband Lord Seadown (Barney Fishwick) with Nan’s lover Guy (Matthew Broome) and her baby in tow.<\/p>\n<p>In season two, we see the fallout of this decision as Jinny and Matthew set up a new incognito life in Italy.<\/p>\n<p>As Imogen explained, there’s plenty more to come for this plotline.<\/p>\n<figure

forever.<\/p>\n<p>‘It\u2019s really hard even in these times for women to leave. Especially in the Victorian times, legally they couldn\u2019t, so it adds a layer.’<\/p>\n<p>As for what lies in store for Nan and Guy, right from the get-go, they are separated by an entire ocean, meaning they have ‘less screentime together’ than last season.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"646\" height=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/techteamhost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/SEI_256221214-0e96.jpg\" class=\"article-image wp-image-23465724\" alt=\"'TV fans compare our show to Netflix's steamiest hit ? this is why ours stands out' Apple TV - Buccaneers season 2\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t<\/div><figcaption>The cast is ‘endlessly grateful’ to its loyal fanbase (Picture: Tjasa Kalkan )<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>How exactly things will pan out, however, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the cast remains endlessly grateful to the loyal fanbase, many of whom enjoy making fan edits on TikTok with 8,000 videos and counting under the hashtag.<\/p>\n<p>‘I doomscroll on TikTok and sometimes it\u2019ll pop up and it\u2019s a bit strange,’ Alisha said, ‘When you make a show, you hope at least someone watches it cause that\u2019s six months of your life.’<\/p>\n<p>As Josie joked: ‘I think it\u2019s only big on TikTok, I think that\u2019s where it shines.’<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Buccaneers season one is available to stream on Apple TV Plus.
