Good Girls star Christina Hendricks is heading to 1870s London society for Apple TV+’s upcoming adaption of Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel, The Buccaneers, reports Deadline.
Hendricks will play Mrs. St. George, the matriarch of lead buccaneers Nan (Kristine Froseth) and Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse). After the family becomes wealthy due to her husband’s dealings on Wall Street, Mrs. St. George becomes “in real danger of being the kind of social-climbing outsider that used to bemuse her,” according to Deadline. Oh my! Yet, she does truly care about her daughters’ happiness, but that seems to be aligned with thinking they’ll be content with marrying a Duke or Lord. Which, by the plot synopsis, doesn’t seem likely.
