For Guy Remmers, it all comes back to relationships. And fashion.

The 30-year-old British actor, recently in New York promoting the second season of “The Buccaneers,” arrives at a shoot holding two similar pairs of sunglasses. It’s an overcast day, but watching him gaze out an expansive window at the Mandarin Oriental, the cityscape reflected in the dark lens of the lime-green pair, you’d almost believe it was the peak of summer. For fans of the stylish Apple TV+ period romantic drama, Remmers also has audiences convinced he’s part of the royal family as Theo, Duke of Tintagel. 

A different accessory, the actor’s two sculptural silver bracelets, catch the light. “Both of these pieces, people always ask me, ‘where’d you get that?’” says Remmers, angling his arm to offer a better perspective. The first bracelet was designed by Robin Miro, one of his close friends. “The beauty of it is each piece is unique and has a slightly different pattern and use of shapes,” says Remmers, twisting the chain of uneven links which led him indirectly to his second bracelet. “This is a funny story,” he says. “I shot a Jimmy Choo campaign with this photographer called Anton Gottlob, and I saw him in Paris and I went up to him and I was like, ‘yo.’ And he turned to me and he said, ‘I have a twin.’” Remmers had instead unknowingly approached jewelry designer Moritz Gottlob, who complimented the Robin Miro bracelet. “And then he pulled out this bag of jewelry, and I bought it off him in the street,” adds Remmers of the clover-shaped beaded bracelet.

Not all of Remmers’ friends are jewelry designers; some are his costars in “The Buccaneers.” Later that night, he planned to catch “Glengarry Glen Ross” on Broadway with costar Barney Fishwick, before both suit up for the series’ Season Two premiere the following evening. 

“I think it’s wicked,” says Remmers, giving his review of the new season. The show’s premise is based on an unfinished novel by Edith Wharton, set in London in the late 1800s. At the start of Season One, a group of young American girls head overseas to make their debut in high society with the goal of finding husbands. Leading the pack is Nan, portrayed by Kristine Froseth, who finds herself in a love triangle that includes Remmers’ character Theo. At the end of season one, the duke has won the girl — at least on paper. 

Remmers teases “big highs” and “really low lows” in the episodes ahead, and an “amazing arc” and memorable dance sequence for his character.

“I have this episode where I kind of go, you know what? Screw this, screw everyone. I’m just gonna go wild and have a rock star moment,” says Remmers. “I have this dance sequence where I’m kind of throwing clothes and dancing. That was really liberating and fun and exciting and nerve wracking to do,” he adds. “ I’d had dance scenes in Season One and Two, which were choreographed and they were period accurate. Whereas for this, the key was to dance as if no one was watching. And that was hard, to dance like no one was there —  when loads of people were there. But luckily I got to pick my music.” Remmers chose a song by ’90s-era British funk band Jamiroquai, best known for “Canned Heat.”

Remmers recently re-watched part of Season One with Matthew Broome, who stars as the other bachelor, Guy Thwarte, in the love triangle. 

“I could see a growth in myself as an actor and as a person,” says Remmers of revisiting his earliest episodes. “ Even when I was filming Season Two, I just felt a lot more confident on set. And that’s what it’s all about, really: you just keep growing and evolving. I learned so much from Season One and so much from Season Two. And I just wanna keep being in a position where I can keep learning.”

Remmers began his career in theater. His first show was “Bugsy Malone” in secondary school, and as a teenager booked his first professional role as the lead of dystopian play “The Grandfathers” at the Old Vic, which later transferred to the National Theatre in London. There, he met Julie Waters, who was starring in a production on another stage at the same time, in passing. “We shared a hair and makeup room, and we said, like, ‘good luck’ to each other,” says Remmers. “I’m a huge fan of hers, and that was a moment where I was like: I wanna do this for the rest of my life.”

After the play, Remmers spent a few years working as a model before booking “The Buccaneers,” his first onscreen role. More recently, he walked the runway for Burberry’s fall 2025 runway show, and sat front row for JW Anderson, Burberry and YSL.

All to say, Remmers, a self-described “huge lover of fashion and clothes and dressing,” knows how to wear clothes well. In “The Buccaneers,” he was excited to don the regalia of a duke, costumes that helped Remmers further embody his character. “The clothes almost are like your scaffolding,” he says. “The clothing gives you an indicator of how one should carry themselves and how their posture should be and how they walk and how they enter a room and how they greet people.”

At the moment, he’s dressed in easy silhouettes for his time in New York, which so far has included a brunch at Sadelle’s and catching up with friends. “Jet lag caught up with me a little bit,” he adds.

With Season Two wrapped, and new episodes arriving weekly through early August, what’s next for the actor?

“Auditioning, a couple of holidays,” he says. “You know, life of an actor: you can never quite know what’s around the corner. You can be completely free, and then instantly, your world changes.”
