'The Buccaneers' Season 2: Who Is Kit & Who Plays Him?

The second season of The Buccaneers, a period drama from Apple TV+, has come to a controversial end. One thing that has not changed since the first season, however, is that we were left with a huge cliffhanger.

What Happened in the Finale of 'The Buccaneers' Season 2?

In the finale of the second season, we saw a number of revelations:

• Theo's affair was exposed in the newspapers by Hector in order to marry Lizzy;
• Nan is pregnant with Theo's child;
• Theo gave up his title to be with Lizzy;
• and Blanche invited Kit, a new, mysterious character, to Tintagel.

Fans agree on one thing: the second season of The Buccaneers turned out to be rushed and chaotic. Reddit user ofmagicandmaybes wrote:

“All I can say is that these people owe Edith Wharton a huge apology.”

However, many viewers are still waiting for the third season, largely because of Kit. So, who is he?

Who Is Kit?

Kit, the late Duke's illegitimate son, is a new character who could become central in a potential third season.

As executive producer Beth Willis said, Kit is a troubled heir who has been kept away from Tintagel by the Dowager Duchess until now. However, now that Theo has renounced his title, she is willing to take extreme measures to retain power.

Kit is a man with a dark past full of secrets and lies. The producers hint that his arrival will bring chaos to the lives of the main characters. Willis shared:

“So just trouble ahead and complicated, messy relationships and a past that needs to be unpacked and is going to be full of secrets and lies.”

Additionally, the series' creators emphasize that Kit will be "very, very sexy," which will undoubtedly spice up the plot.

Who Will Play Kit in 'The Buccaneers' Season 3?

The actor for the role has not yet been chosen. Although it seems that casting is still in progress, the producers already have a clear idea of what their new character should be like.

Since Kit is described as a charismatic yet dangerous man, the actor will likely be someone who can convey both his charm and hidden menace.

Is 'The Buccaneers' Season 3 Confirmed?

Although Apple TV+ has not yet confirmed a third season of The Buccaneers, we can expect the news soon, given the strong viewership numbers of the second season.

All that's left to do is wait for official news and hope The Buccaneers return with new episodes that will have more logic and common sense and less chaos and drama.
