The Buccaneers (Seasons 1–2)

The Buccaneers (2023) is an Apple TV+ period drama you can watch online on iFILM. Picture 1870s London — corsets, calling cards, rigid rank. Then a pack of young American women crashes the season and treats none of the rules as binding.

They were shipped across the Atlantic for one reason: land a titled husband and shore up the family name. Their hearts have other plans. Friendship, first love, jealousy and secrets that polite society can't stomach turn a calendar of balls into a minefield. The British aristocracy expected obedient brides and instead got a crew willing to upend every arrangement.

Loosely drawn from Edith Wharton's unfinished novel, the show fields an ensemble led by Kristine Frøseth, Alisha Boe, Josie Totah and Christina Hendricks. Directors including Charlotte Regan and Susanna White deliberately score the corseted world with a modern pop soundtrack, and the clash plays cheeky rather than stuffy. It's for anyone who loves costume drama built around bold heroines but has had enough of museum-piece restraint. Stream every episode of The Buccaneers online on iFILM.
