THE POP CULTURE NEWS BULLETIN 211: MORE TRAGIC BUT PRETTY ROMANCE THIS WAY COMES ✨ Talking about #TheBuccaneers renewal + more! #AppleTV Share on XTHE POP CULTURE NEWS BULLETIN 211
The Pop Culture News Bulletin is a weekly roundup of the recent and trending news stories in the entertainment industry or stories that fall into the pop culture subcategory. Every Friday we feature stories that fit the content we frequently cover
Though it’s not a show that I adore, it is one that audiences seem to love, and the show we speak of is The Buccaneers. Apple TV has given a renewal to the period drama that for season one featured Kristine Frøseth, Alisha Boe, Josie Totah, Aubri Ibrag and Imogen Waterhouse with Emmy Award nominee Christina Hendricks, and Mia Threapleton. Then in season two Leighton Meester joined the cast. From the press release, the creator Katherine Jakeways says “We couldn’t be more delighted to be lacing up our corsets, slipping on our ball gowns and running breathless across the cliffs of Tintagel for the third time to see what passionate adventures our beloved Buccaneers get up to next. Huge thanks to Apple TV+ and also to the devoted viewers for loving the show as much as we do.”
When last we saw these American girls aka The Buccaneers, most if not all of their lives were in disarray as Nan ran away from her marriage; Lizzy choose to continue an affair that hurt many (which perhaps about to marry someone else); Jinny was trying to move on and heal from her traumatic marriage; Mabel was preparing to say goodbye to someone she loves; and Conchita was learning to move on in her life as a widow. pop culture news bulletin 211
FILM REVIEW | ‘MAINTENANCE REQUIRED’ IS A FUN ONE BUT WON’T REINVENT ROMANCE
As the press release reminds us, the complete first two seasons of “The Buccaneers” are now streaming on Apple TV+.
In more Apple TV+ news, nearly a year after it was announced, Apple TV will release their The Family Plan sequel on November 21. The first film followed Mark Wahlberg, a man who had a shady and dangerous past but then left everything behind as soon as he met and married his wife. The sequel will have Christmas themes and will be back with the primary cast which also includes Michelle Monaghan.
The album release may have been last week, but of course, Taylor Swift and her The Life of a Showgirl still made headlines during her press of the album. Mostly, based off what I piece together from X or Instagram, it was about her inspiration for the album and her affection for fiancé Travis Kelce. I did share my thoughts on the album in a song-by-song post, which I did recently had a few updates to after a week of listening!
Just after posting last weeks roundup of news, reporting broke that Prime Video’s Ballard is getting a second season. The first season followed Maggie Q’s titular detective as she tackles cases that seem to be unsolvable.
