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 forced to be seen not heard.
Despite having a relatable plot that resonates with several cultures around the world, The Buccaneers cast ensemble takes a huge part of the credit for making the series a success. With the final episode of The Buccaneers season 1 out on December 13, 2023, fans are looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds. As such, following the positive reception of the first installment, The Buccaneers was renewed for a second season on December 19, 2023. Meet The Buccaneers cast and the characters they portray.
