Will all episodes of The Buccaneers be released at once?

Nope! Viewers will be able to watch the first three episodes on Nov. 8 followed by new episodes every Wednesday through Dec. 13.   

How to watch The Buccaneers

The drama will stream on Apple TV+.

Is The Buccaneers based on a book?

The Buccaneers was inspired by Edith Wharton’s unfinished final novel of the same name. After the Pulitzer Prize-winning author, who also penned The Age of Innocence, passed away in 1937, Marion Mainwaring completed the manuscript in 1993. The novel is described by Penguin Books as "a story of love in the gilded age that crossed the boundaries of society."

What is The Buccaneers about?

The drama centers around a group of 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," according to Apple TV+. The daughters of America’s new rich (aka the buccaneers) were sent to England to secure husbands and titles, but their "hearts are set on much more than that, and saying 'I do' is just the beginning…"
