I missed this when it came out last month, but Starz has started promoting the new season of Black Sails, the amazingly well-crafted “prequel” to Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. Last season was intense (and far superior to NBC’s Crossbones in my view), with Captain Flint and Long John Silver barely surviving an attack by a Spanish Man O’ War, and now their long-sought treasure is in sight. The new season premiers on January 24, so if we can survive the holidays, it looks like there will be some fantastic historical fiction on Starz beginning next year!

Unless whoever was “Billy Bones” in Treasure Island stole his identity!
