Edith Wharton‘s final and unfinished novel, “The Buccaneers” is getting an Apple TV+ adaptation. Developed by Katherine Jakeways and directed by “Andor’s” Susanna White and Beth Willis, the eight-episode television series will be making its way to the streaming service in November.
The show will star Kristine Frøseth, Alisha Boe, Josie Totah, Aubri Ibrag, Imogen Waterhouse, Mia Threapleton, Christina Hendricks, Josh Dylan, Guy Remmers, Matthew Broome and Barney Fishwick.
Here is the plot synopsis:
“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…”
Executive produced by White, Jakeways, Willis and George Faber, the first three episodes of the series will premiere on November 8 on Apple TV+, with subsequent episodes to be released every Wednesday until December 13. Watch the trailer below:
