After the success of series like “Bridgerton ” and “Downton Abbey ”, a brand-new drama titled, “The Buccaneers” from Apple TV+. The series is inspired by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edith Wharton’s unfinished final novel of the same name.
Apple TV+ has now released the trailer and key art for “The Buccaneers” as it gets ready to make its global debut on November 8, 2023, with the series’ first three episodes. After that, there will be a new episode weekly through December 13.
One thing to note about the trailer is how it features Oliva Rodrigo’s hit, “All-American Bitch” along with Miya Folick’s brand new single, “What We Wanna”. We say this as “The Buccaneers” will be a music-driven series that blends 1870s English aristocracy with a modern soundtrack produced by Stella Mozgawa.
The series features music from Taylor Swift, Boygenius, Maggie Rogers, Bikini Kill, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Angel Olsen, Brandi Carlile, and more, along with original music from Folick, Lucius, Alison Mosshart, Warpaint, Gracie Abrams, Sharon Van Etten, Bully, Danielle Ponder and more.
Here is the synopsis for Apple TV+’s “The Buccaneers”.
Girls with money, men with power. New money, old secrets. A group of fun-loving young American girls explode into the tightly corseted London season of the 1870s, kicking off an Anglo-American culture clash as the land of the stiff upper lip is infiltrated by a refreshing disregard for centuries of tradition. Sent to secure husbands and titles, the buccaneers’ hearts are set on much more than that, and saying “I do” is just the beginning.
The series stars Kristine Frøseth, as Nan St. George, Alisha Boe as Conchita Closson, Critics Choice Award nominee Josie Totah as Mabel Elmsworth, Aubri Ibrag as Lizzy Elmsworth, Imogen Waterhouse as Jinny St. George. SAG Award winner Christina Hendricks stars in the series as Mrs. St. George and Mia Threapleton stars as Honoria Marable, alongside an ensemble cast that also includes Josh Dylan as Lord Richard Marable, Guy Remmers as Theo, Duke of Tintagel, Matthew Broome as Guy Thwarte and Barney Fishwick as Lord James Seadown.
“The Buccaneers” is written by series creator Katherine Jakeways and directed by Susanna White, who also serves as an executive producer.
