Notice how he (correctly) pronounces the word romance, with the emphasis on the last syllable.

Kit Taylor is still alive. Jim Hawkins is 79, he was born in 1942.

How many of the cast members are still alive? It would be great to add a 2nd season about 60 years later

That’s a lot of wishful thinking, but I’m afraid it might spoil the glamour and spirit this show possessed in 1954. Kit Taylor (Jim Hawkins) is about 79-80 years old, so he’d mostly have a narrator role if there was a second season. But everyone else is long gone, and I’m sure no one could play Long John Silver as well as Robert Newton did.
