THE BUCCANEERS PERIOD
SET Series AT APPLE TV+
If you asked me what is the one thing I'd never ever in million years want it is probably a bunch of silly American girls thrown into a posh European costume drama, but it seems Apple TV + is set to give us just that turning the
nightmare into reality: they've given an order for an eight episode series based on Edith Wharton's unfinished novel THE BUCCANEERS and they've gone as far as to cast Kristine Froseth, Alisha Boe, the godawful Josie Totah, Aubri Ibrag, Imogen Waterhouse and Mia Threapleton in the title roles.
The Buccaneers is Wharton's unfinished novel |
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. Created by Katherine Jakeways, the series is already shooting over in Scotland. The book was already turned into a series back in 2006 starring Carla Gugino, Cherie Lunghi and Mira Sorvino.
