Are you ready for The Buccaneers Season 2? This latest casting announcement is sure to make you more excited.
A Gossip Girl vet is joining the period drama. The bad news is we know very little so far, but we are certainly excited.
Leighton Meester is joining The Buccaneers Season 2
In a press release, Apple TV+ has confirmed that Leighton Meester is joining the second season of the popular historical fiction. This is perfect for Meester to channel her inner Blair. We’ll just hopefully get to see what Blair would have been like if she was in the 1800s.
We have no character details as of yet. However, the YouTube short that Apple TV+ shared with the announcement gives us a bit of a hint. She is most definitely a lady of her time.
The short brought us the group of main women dressed in a mixture of 19th century and 21st century clothes. Those Ugg boots with the period dresses are just a brilliant touch, along with the cell phones! They all pass the message on that something exciting is happening, and run to the front door to see Meester turn around. She’s wearing a beautiful deep pink/purple dress, and it’s clear that she is here to set the style. She’s Blair Waldorf! Of course she is!
What to expect in The Buccaneers Season 2
The second season will pick up off the back of the first season’s finale. Nan has married Theo, and now our leading ladies are no longer “invaders.” They have made England their home, and Nan has become the most influential woman in the country now that she is the Duchess of Tintagel.
However, it’s not all good news for the characters. Jinny has made it to the front page of every newspaper, but it’s for the kidnapping of her unborn child.
They are all growing up, and that means the need to deal with grownup problems. Is that what Meester’s character is here for? Making sure they deal with the good and bad that life throws at them?
The Buccaneers is available to stream on Apple TV+.
