Black Sails Gets Second Season Premiere Date
October 2, 2014Starz announced today that its Emmy-winning original series Black Sails, will debut Saturday, January 24th, 2015 at 9pm ET/PT. The ten-episode second season of the authentic high sails drama series follows the most feared pirate of the day, Captain Flint (Toby Stephens) and his men, and takes place twenty years prior to Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic Treasure Island.
Season two begins where we left off — The Walrus crew is stranded with an army of Spanish soldiers standing between them and the precious Urca gold. With their crimes against their brethren no longer a secret, Flint (Toby Stephens) and Silver (Luke Arnold) must join forces in a desperate bid for survival. Meanwhile, Eleanor Guthrie (Hannah New) struggles to maintain her grip on Nassau as a new breed of pirate arrives in the form of Ned Low (Tadgh Murphy), a man for whom violence isn’t just a tool… it’s a pastime. As blood is spilled and tensions mount, Charles Vane (Zach McGowan) must decide which he values more: Eleanor’s life, or the respect of his men. Unbeknownst to all of them, a prize of immeasurable value has already been smuggled onto the island… one whose discovery will alter the very landscape of their world and force everyone in Nassau toward the ultimate judgment: are they men, or are they monsters?
