Black Sails
“Take what's yours.”
Creator
Robert Levine, Jonathan E. Steinberg
Two decades before the events of 'Treasure Island', this pirate saga follows the brilliant and terrifying Captain Flint as he schemes to secure the lawless haven of New Providence Island against the encroaching civilized world. When a cunning young cook named John Silver stumbles into his orbit, alliances shift among a rogues' gallery of real and fictional buccaneers fighting for gold, glory, and survival. Gritty and politically astute beneath its swashbuckling surface, the series reimagines the golden age of piracy as a doomed struggle to build a nation of outlaws.
