Beverly Hills, Calif. – October 1, 2015 –
Starz
released today the official season three trailer and key art for its
Emmy®-winning Original series “Black Sails.” The series is created by
Jonathan E. Steinberg (“Jericho,” “Human
Target”) and Robert Levine (“Touch”) and executive produced by Michael
Bay (the
Transformers franchise, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor), and his Platinum Dunes partners Brad Fuller and Andrew Form (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Purge),
as well as Chris Symes (Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Eragon) and Dan Shotz (“Jericho,” “Harper’s Island”).
The
ten-episode third season of the authentic high seas drama, returning in
2016, follows the most feared pirate of the day, Captain Flint (Toby
Stephens), and takes place
twenty years prior to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic
“Treasure Island.” Ray Stevenson (‘Rome,” Insurgent, Divergent) joins the cast as the iconic pirate ‘Blackbeard.’
In
the wake of the burning of Charles Town, all the New World lives in
fear of Captain Flint. But when his campaign of terror crosses over
into madness, it falls
to John Silver to locate the man within the monster before it’s too
late. Meanwhile, with Eleanor Guthrie in prison, Jack Rackham oversees a
new Nassau, hoping to secure his legacy as a king among thieves. All
will be tested when a new threat arrives, one
the pirates could never have anticipated. It knows them. It
understands them. And in the blink of an eye, it will turn them against
each other.

viewers per episode* and the series is distributed in over 175 countries
and territories worldwide.
