Fans of Apple TV’s most romantic period drama, rejoice! The Buccaneers season 3 release update just landed — and it’s packed with exciting news. Filming has officially wrapped in Scotland. A brand new villain Duke shakes up everything. And a Vampire Diaries star joins the cast. Season 3 arrives in 2027 on Apple TV. The wait is almost over.
Alisha Boe Confirms — Filming Wrapped in Scotland
Star Alisha Boe broke the news herself. She posted on Instagram with her co-stars — Imogen Waterhouse, Kristine Frøseth, Josie Totah, and Aubri Ibrag — to celebrate the end of filming. Her caption said it all: See you in 2027.
Co-star Kristine Frøseth also shared photos from the production set in Scotland — stunning cliffs, beautiful countryside, and that classic Buccaneers energy written all over it.
Apple TV has not set an exact release date yet. But 2027 is confirmed. The corsets are coming back. The drama is coming back. And the American girls are ready to fight harder than ever.
A New Bad-Boy Duke Arrives — and He’s Trouble
Here’s the big twist for season 3. A brand new Duke takes the helm at Tintagel. And this one plays by different rules.
The first two seasons showed the American girls facing stuffy British society. They rocked the boat just by showing up. But this new Duke? He might sink the whole ship.
He arrives as a dark, mysterious figure. He brings chaos to Tintagel — the estate that forms the heart of the show. If polite English society struggled with bold American girls before, this wild new Duke gives everyone a whole new problem to deal with.
This villain-level energy feels fresh and exciting. The show needed it.
Paul Wesley Joins — And He’s Already Intriguing
Vampire Diaries fans, take note. Paul Wesley joins The Buccaneers season 3. He plays a character named Frank — a mysterious and charming stranger who suddenly appears in Nan and Mrs. St. George’s world and turns everything upside down.
Wesley brings serious charm and charisma to every role he takes. His arrival adds a major new layer of tension, romance, and mystery to an already thrilling cast.
Returning cast members include Christina Hendricks, Guy Remmers, Matthew Broome, and Barney Fishwick. However, Mia Threapleton and Leighton Meester’s roles in season 3 remain uncertain for now.
Final Thoughts
The Buccaneers season 3 release update checks every box fans wanted. Filming done. Scotland setting confirmed. A dangerous new Duke. A fan-favorite new cast member. And a 2027 return on Apple TV.
Season 3 looks set to be the boldest Buccaneers chapter yet. Mark your calendar and get ready.
