Black Sails: Complete Series Now Streaming on Netflix

There aren't a ton of modern movies and TV shows about pirates floating around out there, but perhaps the best screen pirate story this side of Pirates of the Caribbean has now made its way to Netflix. We're talking, of course, about Black Sails. The Starz original series first debuted in 2014 and ran for four seasons, acting as a prequel series to the iconic Treasure Island story. 

Black Sails received critical acclaim throughout its run and now has the opportunity to be seen by its biggest audience to-date. All four seasons of the series — 38 episodes in total — made their way to Netflix's streaming lineup on Wednesday morning.

The series, executive produced by Michael Bay, stars Toby Stephens as Captain Flint, a legendary pirate who puts together a crew to track down a massive Spanish treasure. Black Sails also stars Jessica Parker Kennedy, Zach McGowan, Hannah New, Luke Arnold, Toby Schmitz, Clara Paget, Winston Chong, and Tom Hopper. It includes fictionalized versions of iconic pirate figures like Anne Bonny, Benjamin Hornigold, Jack Rackham, Charles Vane, Ned Low, Israel Hands, and Blackbeard.
