Here's Your First Look At "The Buccaneers" Season Finale
Staff Writer, Jasmine Williams, covers a variety of topics from home decor to beauty and everything in between. She has bylines at Motherly, The Everymom, and Byrdie where she wrote about motherhood, beauty, health and relationships. Jasmine knew she wanted to be a writer when she realized she was actually interested in reading the articles in her mom's favorite magazines — and she may or may not have ripped her favorite articles out to study them later. When she's not working, you can find Jasmine playing make-believe with her toddler, spending an undisclosed amount of time in Target or TJ Maxx, and searching for a family-friendly puppy to add to her family.
Someone must have been listening to our conversations about period dramas because The Buccaneers is coming to Apple TV+ this fall! For reasons unknown, the intense romantic tension between characters in shows like Queen Charlottesend our imaginations into overdrive. To be frank, I still dream about hearing someone tell me they're 'good with buttons.'
But until we're blessed with Season 3 of Bridgerton, the trailer for The Buccaneers confirms it's going to be just the series we need to hold us over.

Backed by the sounds of Olivia Rodrigo's hit song "all american bitch," the trailer dives into The Buccaneers with fervor by showing brief moments of what happens when the worlds of new and old money collide. Even though the goal for Nan is to do anything but blend in with London society, she finds herself falling in love, er lust, anyway.
