Leighton Meester has joined the season two cast of Apple TV+‘s period drama series "The Buccaneers".

Created and written by Katherine Jakeways based on Edith Wharton’s unfinished final novel, the series stars Christina Hendricks, Mia Threapleton, Kristine Frøseth, Alisha Boe, Josie Totah, Aubri Ibrag and Imogen Waterhouse.

Iin 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 (Frøseth) is the Duchess of Tintagel, the most influential woman in the country. Conchita (Boe) is Lady Brightlingsea, heroine to a wave of young American heiresses. And Jinnyn (Waterhouse) is on every front-page, wanted for the kidnap 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 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.”

The cast also includes Guy Remmers, Matthew Broome, Josh Dylan and Barney Fishwick.
