‘The Buccaneers’ Romance Refresh: Where All the Couples Stand Ahead of Season 2

Last year was “Brat Summer” — but this time around, it’s “Gilded Age Summer.”

That’s because not one, but two late 1800s-set dramas are staging a comeback later this month: The Gilded Age and The Buccaneers. Since we’re romantically inclined here at Swooon, we’re especially excited for the latter. Based on Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel, the Apple TV+ series follows a spirited group of young American women as they burst onto the London scene to land husbands (and their titles).
