At the centre of The Buccaneers is the age-old conflict between modernity and tradition. Running successfully on Apple TV+, The Buccaneers first aired in 2023 as the latest on-screen adaptation of the unfinished novel by Edith Wharton. The Buccaneers follows a group of young and energetic women as they navigate love and desire against the backdrop of a conservative background. These women trace their lineage to the newly rich American elite, and the crux of the show revolves around how each of them copes with the stiff upper lip of London's social life.
Despite being based on a fond literary source, it is verily the characterizations of the show that have earned it the majority of its share of praise. From the central character of Nan St. George to her sister Jinny St. George or Conchitta, and the others, these are remarkable characters that deserve special mention. Here we take a look at the complete cast list of The Buccaneers with a short description of the actors who play them and their notable works.

2) Kristine Froseth as Annabelle "Nan" St. George
Froseth was seen as Ffion on Apostle. Apart from this, she has also appeared on The Society, Sierra Burgess Is A Loser, and Sharp Stick. One of her remarkable performances includes playing Alaska Young in Looking For Alaska.

Creator and EP open up about the show
Speaking in an exclusive interview with ScreenRant, creator Katherine Jakeways and Executive Producer Beth Willis highlighted their approach to adapting the literary source for the screen. Willis revealed:
"We actually quite consciously didn't use a copy of the book that had the ending on. We sourced, in fact, it wasn't easy to find, but we all got copies, which have Edith Wharton's synopsis at the end of them, but the book ends as she finished it, so we couldn't comment on those other editions. We haven't read them."
Jakeways further added:

"We were just about old enough to have watched the miniseries at the time, and I may have been a bit aware of it at the time when I was at university in that way that you are of things, but once we knew we were doing this and once we'd set ourselves the challenge of doing our version of it, we deliberately didn't watch the 1990s miniseries. Obviously, we've gathered things about it from things that people have said, but we haven't watched it to this day. So I suspect it's fairly different. We wanted to do our own version of it. Have you watched it?"
The Buccaneers is exclusively available on Apple TV+.
