Black Sails Season 3 Episode Guide
Black Sails season 3 is sailing your way. We've got everything you need to know about the best pirate TV series ever.
How do you know TV is hot? Because the hot trend is to renew shows for additional seasons before the current season even airs. We saw it with Better Call Saul and Fear The Walking Dead, but the trendsetter here was Starz’s Black Sails, which was promised a season two before a single episode of season one aired.
What does any of that have to do with the price of rum in the 18th century? I’ll tell you what, mateys. Black Sails season 3 was amazing, that’s what.
Black Sails Season 3 Story
Here’s the official synopsis from Starz…
The ten-episode third season of the authentic high seas drama 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,’ and Luke Roberts (Wolf Hall, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joins as historic figure ‘Woodes Rogers.’
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.

All we know about this version of Blackbeard is that he’s here “to settle some unfinished business.
