Trailer for The Buccaneers: a new “Bridgerton” on Apple TV+
A great romantic Victorian series in costumes, worn by Kristine Frøseth, the young star of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair.
While waiting for the continuation of the phenomenon Bridgerton on Netflix, which will offer its season 3 next year, Apple TV+ will offer fans of Victorian romances the opportunity to immerse themselves in The Buccaneers, adaptation of the latest novel by Pulitzer Prize winner Edith Wharton. Somewhere between The Gilded Age (HBO series by Julian Fellowes) and The Bridgerton Chronicles, The Buccaneers follows rich young girls from good American families, who try their hand at English high society.
“Wealthy girls, powerful men. New rich, old secrets” teases the synopsis, before detailing:
“In the 1870s, a group of young American women dynamite the London social season in defiance of the century-old traditions of the country of phlegm par excellence, giving rise to a clash of cultures between England and the United States. Sent to England in search of a husband and a title, the buccaneers don’t intend to stop there, and saying “I want it” is only the beginning…” Below we discover the official trailer for The Buccaneers :
