The Buccaneers

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…

The Buccaneers stars Kristine Froseth as ‘Nan St. George,’ Alisha Boe as ‘Conchita Closson,’ Critics Choice Award nominee Josie Totah as ‘Mabel Elmsworth,’ Aubri Ibrag as ‘Lizzy Elmsworth,’ Imogen Waterhouse as ‘Jinny St. George’ and Mia Threapleton as ‘Honoria Marable.’ SAG Award winner Christina Hendricks stars in the series as ‘Mrs. St. George,’ alongside an ensemble cast that also includes Josh Dylan as ‘Lord Richard Marable,’ Guy Remmers as ‘Theo, Duke of Tintagel,’ Matthew Broome as ‘Guy Thwarte’ and Barney Fishwick as ‘Lord James Seadown.’
