Is a Third Season of The Buccaneers in the Works?
In the world of popular television, the future of Apple TV+'s critically acclaimed series "The Buccaneers" remains uncertain. As the second season approaches its finale, fans are left wondering if there will be more adventures for the St. George women.
Rachel King, a news writer at Town & Country, has covered the travel and lifestyle aspects of the show for various publications such as Forbes, Observer, Robb Report, Cruise Critic, and Cool Hunting. Her insights have provided a deeper understanding of the series' background and impact.
The cast members, too, have expressed hopes for their characters' development should the show continue. Christina Hendricks, who plays Patty, hopes her character learns to nurture herself instead of always taking care of others. Imogen Waterhouse, who plays Nan's sister Jinny, hopes Jinny learns from season two and finds something she's passionate about. Kristine Frøseth, who plays Nan, wants her character to return to her original journey, similar to season one.
However, as of August 2025, there is no official announcement from Apple TV+ regarding a third season. Several sources suggest that the possibility of a third season remains open, but the show’s continuation appears undecided but not ruled out.
The showrunners have already gone off-book considerably this season, with Lizzy's storyline being a prime example. They have emphasised their desire to stay loyal to Edith Wharton's vision, and Katherine Jakeways, an executive producer, mentioned that they wanted to use the best bits of the book in the show.
The 1995 television miniseries version of "The Buccaneers" wrote its own ending for the book, leaving the door open for Apple TV+'s version to do the same. If the show does continue, it is not specified if a reset is in store for all of the St. George women.
The world and characters created by Edith Wharton, as well as the friendship among the girls, are the heart of the book and the show. Whether this friendship will continue into a third season remains to be seen.
For now, fans can only wait and hope for an official announcement from Apple TV+. In the meantime, the novel "The Buccaneers" is available for purchase on Amazon for $11, offering a glimpse into the lives of the St. George women before the series began.
Rachel King, her family, and her precocious labradoodle reside in New York, eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the lives of the St. George women.
