ABOUT:
The pirate adventure “Black Sails” centers on the tales
of Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) and his men and takes place twenty
years prior to
Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic
“Treasure
Island.” Flint, the most brilliant and most feared pirate captain of
his day, takes on a fast-talking young addition to his crew who goes by
the name John Silver (Luke
Arnold). Threatened with extinction on all sides, they fight for the
survival of New Providence Island, the most notorious criminal haven of
its day – a debauched paradise teeming with pirates, prostitutes,
thieves and fortune seekers, a place defined by both
its enlightened ideals and its stunning brutality.
Zach McGowan stars as rival Captain Charles Vane;
Toby Schmitz as Rackham, Vane’s right hand; Hannah
New as Eleanor Guthrie, a determined young woman who runs the smuggling
operation on New Providence; Hakeem Kae-Kazim as Mr. Scott, Eleanor’s
retainer and right hand, Jessica
Parker Kennedy as Max, a tortured young prostitute who sees the dark
side of New Providence; Mark Ryan as Gates, Captain Flint’s
Quartermaster and most senior member of his crew,
Clara Paget as the beautiful but cold-blooded Anne Bonny and Tom Hopper (“Merlin”) as Billy Bones, boatswain of Flint’s ship.
“Black Sails” is executive produced by Michael Bay (Transformers, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor) and his Platinum Dunes partners Brad Fuller and Andrew Form,
producers on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003) and Nightmare on Elm Street (2009).
The series was created by showrunner and executive producer Jonathan
Steinberg (creator “Jericho,” “Human Target”) and co-executive producer
Robert Levine (“Touch”).
“Black Sails” will debut with an eight-episode season in January 2014, exclusively
on STARZ.
