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."

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…"

Mamma Mia! fans know Dylan as Young Bill in the sequel. He's also played Captain Adam Hunter in Allied.

Remmers, who hails from Bristol, England, is fairly new to the acting scene. In fact, he has just one other credit, the short film Lessons.

Figuratively speaking, Broome is fresh out of acting school. Buccaneers is his first credit on IMDB.

U.K. comedy lovers might know Fishwick from his sketch group, GIANTS. But he's otherwise fairly unknown in the U.S. Get ready for that to change!
