Edith Wharton’s novel The Buccaneers has been adapted into a series for Apple TV+ and will premiere on November 8.
The series will certainly be compared to Sanditon, the much-beloved Jane Austen adaptation whose third season aired earlier this year on PBS and BritBox.
Both are historical romance novels written by literary icons.
