We don't know what her role is yet, but Leighton Meester in The Buccaneers season 2 is the perfect casting

As a seasoned gamer of historical dramas with a penchant for intrigue and a soft spot for shows like Bridgerton and The Gilder Age, I was immediately hooked by Apple TV+’s The Buccaneers when it premiered in 2023. And let me tell you, the plot twists were so unpredictable that they left me guessing until the very end!


If you’re drawn to captivating dramas such as Bridgerton and The Gilded Age, then it’s likely that you instantly fell in love with The Buccaneers when it premiered on Apple TV+ in 2023. Indeed, I was one of those fans! The plot twists kept me guessing, and I eagerly anticipate the return of The Buccaneers for its second season.

Approximately a month after the debut of the historical drama, Apple TV+ announced that it would be returning for a second season. Since then, details have been limited. Production started during the summer, but as of now, no release date has been disclosed. However, we do have one thrilling piece of news now!

According to TVLine, Leighton Meester, famed star from Gossip Girl, will join The Buccaneers in its second season on Apple TV+. Details about her character are still under wraps, but with her on board, expectations are high for an even more captivating performance that adds depth and novelty to the already engaging series.

I have a theory, and this might be wrong. But it’s fun to make predictions! Is it just me or does Meester kind of look a bit like Christina Hendricks, who plays Patricia “Patti” St. George, Nan’s mother? I don’t know. I see some similarities between the two talented actresses. Maybe Meester’s character is Patti’s sister or a relative? I’m sure with bringing the star on board she’s going to be in a major role and connected to some of the more central characters. I’m so intrigued!

As a gaming enthusiast, I can’t contain my excitement after TVLine revealed the synopsis for the upcoming season! Remember how Season 1 ended with a plethora of unresolved mysteries? The most intriguing one is about Nan, who tied the knot with Theo, yet her heart still yearns for Guy. But here’s the twist – the man she truly loves flees with Jinny to shield her from her abusive husband, James. Adding to the mix, Nan’s biological mother suddenly appears on the scene. Now, wouldn’t it be fascinating if Meester is set to portray Nan’s mom? It’s all speculation at this point. However, here’s what we do have confirmed from the news source about the new season:

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,” the description continues. “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. Last time we got a taste of England. This time we’re in for a veritable feast.

In this production, Kristine Froseth takes on the role of Nan, Hendricks plays Patti, Matthew Broome is cast as Guy Thwarte, Alisha Boe portrays Conchita, Josh Dylan assumes the character of Lord Richard Marable, Guy Remmers acts as Theo, Imogen Waterhouse stars as Jinny, Barney Fishwick takes on Lord James Seadown, Aubri Ibrag brings Lizzy to life, Josie Totah plays Mabel Elmsworth, and Mia Threapleton embodies Honoria Marable.
