Black Sails, the Starz series which has so far run for three seasons, will return for a fourth in the early part of 2017 as the poster below truly proves.
The first of the ten episodes will air Stateside on Sunday, January 29th, 2017 at 9 pm ET/PT with the UK getting episodes shortly afterwards. The series is actually a prequel to Treasure Island and takes twenty years prior to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story.
Black Sails is a pirate adventure that centers on the tales of Captain Flint (Toby Stephens – above), who has a reputation throughout the West Indies as being the most brilliant, most feared of all the Golden Age pirates. It’s 1715, and as Flint fights for the survival of New Providence Island — a debauched paradise teeming with pirates, prostitutes, thieves and fortune seekers — in the wake of threats from British and Spanish forces, he aligns himself with Eleanor Guthrie, daughter of the local kingpin, to hunt the ultimate prize and ensure his people’s survival. But standing in the way are rival captains, Eleanor’s intrusive father, and perhaps the bigger obstacle of all: John Silver, a young, fast-talking, authority-flouting sailor recently added to Flint’s crew.
Black Sails has garnered dozens of awards and is syndicated to over 200 countries worldwide. Here’s the teaser poster for the show’s final season.
