Apple TV+ today debuts a new drama series, The Buccaneers. Based on the unfinished book by Edith Wharton, The Buccaneers sees a group of rich American women move to England to find a husband. Here’s how to watch.

Set in the 1870s, five rich young women marry Englishmen with land titles to gain status. Rather than bowing to patriarchal expectations, the women stand up for themselves, and a culture clash of American and English societal norms ensues. Similar to Dickinson, The Buccaneers mixes anachronistic language and music with the classical setting.

The cast includes Kristen Froseth, Alisha Boy, Josie Totah, Imogen Waterhouse, and Mia Threapleton. The series has been warmly received by critics, achieving an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes ahead of its release.
