Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers for Season 1, Episode 8 of “The Buccaneers,” now streaming on Apple TV+.
The season finale of Apple TV+’s “The Buccaneers,” aptly titled “Wedding of the Season,” culminates with a traditional chapel wedding between Nan St. George (Kristine Frøseth) and Theo, Duke of Tintagel (Guy Remmers). However, the events that transpire before and after the wedding are anything but traditional.
Costume designer Kate Carin and production designer Amy Maguire sat down with Variety to discuss how they reflected the contrast between the wedding and the chaos occurring outside of it in the set and dresses.
The series, which is based on Edith Wharton’s unfinished novel of the same name, follows a group of fun-loving American girls who infiltrate 1870s London, sparking an Anglo-American culture clash. Following a season-long love triangle between Nan, Theo and his best friend Guy Thwarte (Matthew Broome), “Wedding of the...

Having already conquered the pop world, Mel B, Emma, Mel C, Geri and Victoria, aka The Spice Girls, have taken their act to the big screen and the results are decidedly mixed.
The good news is the spunky quintet, neatly defined characters all, have a winning rapport with a nice blend of team effort and good-natured ribbing.
Unfortunately, rather than trust them to carry a movie bearing their name, this "A Hard Day's Night" wannabe -- it actually shares more with the old "Monkees" TV series -- has been padded with tired subplots and a gaggle of over-the-top supporting characters.
As a result, while the picture may nevertheless give preteen female fans what they want (what they really, really want), the previously unconverted will unlikely be swayed. Don't expect Girl Power to fuel ticket sales much beyond the opening weekend.
Based on an idea by The Spice Girls and screenwriter Kim Fuller (brother of their recently ousted manager Simon Fuller), "Spice World" concerns itself with a summer in the life of a wildly successful British band called The Spice Girls and how they deal with fame and fortune, not to mention a raving manager (Richard E. Grant), an arrogant documentarian (Alan Cumming) and diabolical paparazzi (as embodied by the omnipresent Richard O'Brien).
One hopes they didn't overly tax themselves coming up with that idea. To be fair there are additional elements, including a slobbering media giant (Barry Humphries) who's obsessed with crushing Girl Power; the mysterious Chief (Roger Moore), who dispenses wisdom in the form of Zen-like non-sequiturs; and a Hollywood producer (George Wendt) and a hyper screenwriter (Mark McKinney) determined to make the girls movie stars. But none of the peripheral stuff works particularly well.
Worse, under the direction of Bob Spiers ("Absolutely Fabulous", Disney's "That Darned Cat" remake), "Spice World" makes the fatal mistake of dragging its platform heels. This type of vehicle begs for an MTV pace, but even their musical performances have been blandly and quite statically shot.
There are still moments of satisfaction to be had here, mainly from the group's own partially improvised interactions and during the picture's satirical fantasy interludes, which feature amusing cameos from the likes of Elton John, Elvis Costello, Bob Hoskins and Meat Loaf as the girls' loyal tour bus driver.
Not surprisingly, production and costume design steal focus on the technical front, with Grenville Horner's bold primary color schematics providing the perfect backdrop for Kate Carin's shiny, bright anything-goes threads.
The soundtrack, essentially, is composed of The Spice Girls' two albums worth of inconsequential but admittedly infectious bubble gum which, like the picture itself, begins to lose its flavor after a few satisfying snaps.
