FAQ

How many episodes is Black Sails?

Steinberg noted in a press release that he and the producers of Black Sails were forced to make a difficult decision when looking to end the show after Season 4, but they all felt that what they had planned for that season would be the best way to cap off the ramp up to “Treasure Island” that the show had always been.

How historically accurate is Black Sails?

Much of the background on the island of Nassau is true to history, and many of the piratical characters, from Charles Vane to the Guthrie family to the Maroons are strongly inspired by real people, and the show has included nearly all of the characters from Stevenson’s classic book.
