What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on the Starz premium cable channel, Black Sails begins roughly 20 years prior to the events of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island novel and follows the most feared pirate of the day, Captain Flint (Toby Stephens). The fourth season finds the pirates at war in the West Indies. The shores of New Providence Island have never been bloodier, but the closer civilization comes to defeat, the more desperately and destructively it will fight back. The Black Sails TV show cast also includes Hannah New, Luke Arnold, Jessica Parker Kennedy, Tom Hopper, Toby Schmitz, Clara Paget, Ray Stevenson, Luke Roberts, and Zethu Diomo.
 

Season Four Ratings

The fourth season of Black Sails averaged a 0.15 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 501,000 viewers. Compared to season three, that’s down by 27% in the demo and down by 24% in total viewers. Find out how Black Sails/em> stacks up against other Starz TV shows.

Telly’s Take

Abandon ship! Although Starz renewed Black Sails for season four, back in the summer of 2015, by July of 2016, the premium cabler issued a press release announcing the renewal was for the the pirate drama’s fourth and final season. There’s little for this scurvy lot to do, but walk the plank. I’ve been circling it for nigh on seven months.

I absolutely love this show. The characters, the majesty of the sets and the fabulous scripts have elevated this series well beyond any other television series. If not season five, then at least a spinoff of piracy in New England would be wonderful. A sincere thank you to everyone involved in the past four years of Black Sails. I’ll watch it over and over.

Currently finished with season 3, I’ll let you know when I finish season 4, but as of now I love the show and would gladly see more. As someone suggested previously a bridge to Treasure island might be in order. Would be glad to see other related shows as well but it would be very difficult to match the phenomenal quality of acting and writing etc in the current Black Sails.

Season 5 could be a kind of a “bridge” connecting the series with the book of “Treasure Island” they have so many to give right now and its so sad that till now no season 5 is announced and season 4 will be the last..Im feeling very sad tbh..

It’s hard to find unique action packed series like Black Sails that meets the demands of an audience. I would love to see another season. At the very least a sequel with the same actors and staff. Arguably the series has enough potential to be a step down from HBOS Game of Thrones. Make the series more accessible to viewers and you will flourish.

I enjoy watching the Black Sails series, all 4 of them. Sure wish it could be a 5 series to the Chapter on the High Seas of Pirates. It’s neet to see the crews interact with each other, like they had done it for years. Please, make a series 5.

THis show is awesome. I started watching last year and have brought on 50 new watchers! Find a way to renew for another season. The characters was so exciting and I can’t wait to watch every week but hate to know it’s going to end.

I cannot believe that a network as progressive and discerning as Starz has failed to grasp 3 basic concepts of current television viewing. 1. Immediate broadcast time ratings are truly and utterly meaningless because… 2. Most people binge watch series, rarely if ever watching on live, commercial laden TV. 3. “Target demographics” are also meaningless. With people thinking younger longer en masse series such as Black Sails need to consider a broader age range. The over 49 demographic also has more disposable income for travel, etc.. All that said I strongly believe that ending now without follow-up is a huge… Read more »

Black Sails is one of my favorite TV shows ever. The story, cast and production has been by far greater and better than any movie produced by today’s giant producers. Obviously my remarks will not make a difference in completing the series or not. But rather one day you’re going to regret the dicision and wish you had completed it. No one in his own mind is going to purchase a movie/series knowing that the end was never concluded. Ratings are deceiving and only based on the few. If this show was marketed well and exposed to the general public… Read more »

I enjoyed your comment and agree! It saddens me to think Starz and Black Sails’ writers are so in fear of jumping the shark that they are depriving viewers of rare high quality TV…based on ratings statistics they do not really have.

I believe killing Charles Vain to early was their first mistake – cancelling the show was their second and last mistake
