Christina Hendricks joins cast of Apple TV+’s ‘The Buccaneers’

Christina Hendricks will play Mrs. St. George in a series adaptation of Edith Wharton’s unfinished final novel, “The Buccaneers,” for Apple TV+.

The “Good Girls” star and six-time “Mad Men” Emmy nominee joins buccaneers Kristine Froseth, Alisha Boe, Josie Totah, Aubri Ibrag, Imogen Waterhouse and Mia Threapleton in the drama series.

About ‘The Buccaneers’

Here’s how the series is described: Girls with money, men with power. New money, old secrets. A group of fun-loving young American girls 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. Sent to secure husbands and titles, the buccaneers’ hearts are set on much more than that, and saying “I do” is just the beginning…

The buccaneers are Nan St. George (Froseth), Conchita Closson (Boe), Mabel Elmsworth (Totah), Lizzy Elmsworth (Ibrag), Jinny St. George (Waterhouse) and Honoria Marable (Threapleton).

BAFTA Award nominee Beth Willis (“Doctor Who,” “Ashes to Ashes,” “Help”), Emmy Award winner George Faber (“National Treasure,” “Generation Kill,” “Collateral”), Jakeways and White serve as executive producers. White will also be lead director. The untitled series is produced for Apple TV+ by The Forge Entertainment.
