Leighton Meester Unpacks Her “Juicy Mic Drop” Role In Season 2 Of Apple TV+’s ‘The Buccaneers’


Leighton Meester weighed in on the arrival of her new character Nell in 'The Buccaneers' Season 2 in an interview with Deadline.

Meester makes her appearance and debut in the elegant, elaborate world of the period piece — set during The Gilded Age in America and England — on the heels of Nan’s (Kristine Frøseth) wedding to Theo (Guy Remmers), The Duke of Tintagel. Nell and Nan establish an interesting connection when the new Duchess of Tintagel calls out to her secret real mother from a hiding spot and informs her of the context in which she married Theo. Nan did it in order to gain the power to keep her half sister Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse) safe from her abusive husband Lord James Seadown (Barney Fishwick).
