Between the romance and extravagant drama, The Buccaneers is known for its modern pop soundtrack.

Created by Katherine Jakeways, the period drama follows five wealthy and ambitious American women as they navigate culture clashes and love affairs among English high society.

A synopsis for season two reads: “In the first season of The Buccaneers, a group of fun-loving young American girls exploded into the tightly corseted London of the 1870s … setting hearts racing and kicking off an Anglo-American culture clash. Now the Buccaneers are no longer the invaders — England is their home. In fact, they’re practically running the place.”

Kristine Froseth, Alisha Boe, Aubri Ibrag, Josie Totah, Imogen Waterhouse, Mia Threapleton, and Christina Hendricks all reprise their roles, alongside newcomers Leighton Meester, Greg Wise, Jacob Ifan, Grace Ambrose and Maria Almeida.

Who composed The Buccaneers soundtrack?

The show’s score is by AVAWAVES, aka violinist Anna Phoebe and composer Aisling Brouwer, who have released two albums as an instrumental duo.

What is the show’s theme song?

Across both seasons, the theme song for The Buccaneers is a cover of LCD Soundsystem’s ‘North American Scum’ by Emily Kolal and Miya Folick.
