The Buccaneers cast may have gotten off on the wrong foot with fans in the first few minutes but the period drama metamorphosed into a fan favorite in no time. Based on The Buccaneers by Edith Wharton who died before completing the story, the television adaptation was created by Katherine Jakeways and directed by Susanna White. An Apple TV+ original, The Buccaneers follows a group of young American women sent to London to find husbands in noble homes. The plot explores unfortunately common issues in life such as loveless marriages, abusive relationships, love triangles, and the concept of women being...

Today, Netflix released character descriptions along with some additional casting for their upcoming limited series, Zero Day.
Zero Day asks the question on everyone’s mind -- how do we find truth in a world in crisis, one seemingly being torn apart by forces outside our control?
And in an era rife with conspiracy theory and subterfuge, how much of those forces are products of our own doing, perhaps even of our own imagining?
As previously announced, Robert De Niro leads the cast as George Mullen, a massively popular but complicated former American President who is pulled from retirement to head a commission tasked with investigating a devastating global cyber-attack.
Angela Bassett, Dan Stevens, Matthew Modine, Bill Camp, and McKinley Belcher III have been added to the cast, along with Gaby Hoffman, Clark Gregg, and Mark Ivan.
Bassett will play President Mitchell, a brilliant and perceptive political tactician with an allegiance to Mullen.

Apple TV+ is returning to its Bridgerton-esque period drama The Buccaneers.
Based on the unfinished Edith Wharton novel, the high-end series launched last month. It stars Christina Hendricks, Mia Threapleton (I Am Ruth), Kristine Frøseth (The Assistant), Alisha Boe (When You Finish Saving The World), Josie Totah (Saved by the Bell), Aubri Ibrag (Dive Club) and Imogen Waterhouse (The Outpost).
The Buccaneers charts goings-on in the late 19th century as a group of fun-loving young American girls explode into the tightly corseted London season, 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, their hearts are set on much more than that, and saying “I do” is just the beginning.
The show has been compared in scope and tone to Netflix smash Bridgerton, although speaking to Deadline several weeks ago,...

“The Buccaneers” showrunner Katherine Jakeways had Nan St. George’s (Kristine Frøseth) “choice” in the love triangle at the end of Season 1 in mind from day one.
Frøseth thinks Nan brings out playfulness in both of her love interests —Guy Thwarte (Matthew Broome) and Theo (Guy Remmers). She also hinted that Guy brought out Nan’s old self before the big reveal that she was conceived out of wedlock.
In the finale of the Apple TV+ drama series, loosely based on Edith Wharton’s final, unfinished novel, Annabelle “Nan” St. George makes the ultimate sacrifice for her nonbiological sister Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse), who desperately needs to escape her abusive husband Lord Seadown (Barney Fishwick). Instead of running away with Guy, Nan marries Theo, Duke of Tintagel, so that Guy can take Jinny far away from Seadown.
“We always wanted it to be Jinny that she chose,” Jakeways said. “[It] was so...

The Buccaneers on Apple TV+ is an adaptation of Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel of the same name. However, viewers who either read the novel or watched the 1995 PBS/BBC adaptation, will find that the last scenes of the finale “Wedding of the Season” are noticeably different from previous versions.
Although Nan (Kristine Frøseth) is not as much in love with her fiancee Theo, the Duke of Tintagel (Guy Remmers) as she is with Guy (Josh Dylan), she makes the choice of family duty over romantic love to protect Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse) from the social consequences of separating from her abusive husband Lord James Seadown (Barney Fishwick).

Kristine Froseth is used to being the new girl. The New Jersey-born actress moved from Norway and back every few years for her father’s banking job, seesawing between friendships and cultures. Due to her nomadic lifestyle, she struggled to find herself during her formative years, she says, similar to her character Nan St. George in Apple TV’s The Buccaneers.
“I just wanted to fit in so desperately,” Froseth tells Rolling Stone. “So, I adapted to whatever people were doing. I was a chameleon.”

While The Buccaneers on Apple TV+ is based on Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel of the same name, the show also depicts some of the real history from the 1870s as well. Wharton modeled the main characters after people she knew during her debutante days and other prominent figures of the era.
Episode 1 “American Poison” introduces Conchita “Conchi” Closson (Alisha Boe) as one of the heiresses representing the new class of business barons in the 1870s. Wharton in fact modeled her character after Consuelo Vanderbilt, the real-life wife of a tycoon.

It’d be easy to write off Apple TV+’s new series “The Buccaneers” as the service’s attempt to develop its own version of Netflix’s Emmy-winning “Bridgerton.” After all, the show checks a lot of the same boxes. Romance! Opulent costuming! A handsome duke! Uptight English people! But the show, which is inspired by Edith Wharton’s final, unfinished novel, is anything but a copycat.
Set in the 19th century, the surprisingly modern series from creator Katherine Jakeways follows a group of wealthy young Americans who travel to England in search of husbands after one of their own, Conchita (Alisha Boe), weds an aristocrat from across the pond. The result is a lively and entertaining clashing of cultures, as the stuffy families we’re used to finding in traditional period dramas don’t know what to make of these impulsive young newcomers.

“The Buccaneers” might look like “Bridgerton” at first glance, but the two are very different, and the music and soundtrack heavily differentiate the shows, in addition to their plots.
Adapted from Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel, the Apple TV+ drama tells the story of five young American girls who clash with stuffy English society when they enter the marriage market in search of husbands. Nan St. George operates as the central character, and she doesn’t exactly have love or marriage on her radar, but of course she eventually finds herself in a love triangle situation between Guy Thwarte (Matthew broome) and Theo (Guy Remmers). Nan’s sister Jinny St. George more actively seeks out a husband, while their friend Conchitta Closson (Alisha Boe) gets married in the first episode. The Elmsworth sisters Lizzy (Tk) and (Josie Totah) also navigate the mix in their own ways.

The first episode, “American Poison,” introduces the young women, their families, and the way the marriage market is not as romantic as depicted in other period dramas or previous Wharton adaptations.

It’s safe to say “The Buccaneers” is the only period piece this year with Taylor Swift on the soundtrack.
Clearly taking a cue from Netflix’s smash costume drama “Bridgerton” — which famously dropped covers of current pop hits amidst all the bodice-ripping — “The Buccaneers” is the latest attempt to make the marriage-market intrigue of 18th-century romance work for Gen Z.
Based upon Edith Wharton’s unfinished last novel, “The Buccaneers” follows five new-money American ladies who travel across the pond to bail out London’s aristocratic families who have good titles but no cash. Following the swift marriage of Conchita (Alisha Boe) to Lord Marable (“Mamma Mia Here We Go Again!” charmer Josh Dylan), Conchita’s friends — sisters Nan (Kristine Froseth) and Jinny St. George (Imogen Waterhouse) as well as sisters Lizzy (Aubri Ibrag) and Mabel (Josie Totah) – travel to the U.K. in possession of their own good...

Exclusive: Veteran British director Susanna White has revealed she’s working on a feature film based on her teenage life set against changes in the fashion world, as she gears up for today’s launch of Apple TV+ period drama The Buccaneers.
White is developing an untitled script for the BFI, the first time she has written a feature script herself, and the plot is based on her personal coming of age story. “It’s the story of me at 13, set in the world of fashion in early 1970s,” she told Deadline in an interview. “It’s very fun, sexy and hopefully moving.”
We hear the film will follow 13-year-old Gingernut as she grows up with the fur trade’s decline playing out in the background. The plot will see her trying to make sense of her parents’ dysfunctional relationship and include themes of family, growing up, betrayal, love and loss.

Apple TV+’s The Buccaneers opens with a wedding that almost doesn’t happen. As Conchita (Alisha Boe) frets in her family’s New York mansion, Lord Richard (Josh Dylan) pulls up late with a breakup letter in hand, worried his free-spirited fiancée won’t “fit” with his uptight English family. It’s only when Nan (Kristine Frøseth), Conchita’s maid of honor, reminds Richard that nothing matters but their love that he rips up the note and goes ahead with what looks to be the most lavish nuptials of the century.

Women in late-Victorian England are expected to wave gently, smile politely, and follow their husband’s orders. They’re not expected to splash around in neighboring lakes, shotgun glasses of champagne or uncross their legs in elaborate ballgowns, like the five American girls in Apple TV+’s The Buccaneers. Audiences will likely compare the 8-episode series to Netflix’s Bridgerton, as the women search for love and high-ranking titles. The trailer alone explodes with royal balls, suffocating corset gowns, and star-crossed romance.

For an unfinished novel, Edith Wharton's 1938 tome The Buccaneers certainly has enjoyed a healthy life of adaptations through the years since it arrived posthumously. The latest to take a crack is actor/writer Katherine Jakeways, who has overseen this new show version for Apple TV+, and given it a post-modern spin (not just around the dance floor). See the trailer below…
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…

Apple TV+ is channeling Bridgerton and The Sex Lives of College Girls in the first trailer for its new drama series The Buccaneers, and we're definitely interested in what comes next.
The series has a target audience, and running the trailer to the sound of Olivia Rodrigo's "All-American B----" is a choice.
The series blends 1870s English aristocracy with a modern soundtrack produced by Stella Mozgawa (of the band Warpaint) and packed with songs from today's top female performers that include Taylor Swift, Boygenius, Maggie Rogers, Bikini Kill, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Angel Olsen, Brandi Carlile and more.
Interestingly, original music from Folick, Lucius, Alison Mosshart, Warpaint, Gracie Abrams, Sharon Van Etten, Bully, Danielle Ponder, and more are thrown in for good measure.

Christina Hendricks has joined the cast of an untitled drama series at Apple TV+ based on “The Buccaneers,” Edith Wharton’s unfinished final novel. The series is written and created by Katherine Jakeways, and Susanna White is attached to direct.
Described as centering “girls with money, men with power, new money and old secrets,” the series follows a group of fun-loving young American girls who 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.
