The pickups of Season 2, 3 and now 4 all have come months before the previous installment had debuted. Black Sails also is the first Starz original series to go beyond 3 seasons, a high water mark previously set by Spartacus: Blood and Sand (which also did a prequel miniseries) and Da Vinciâs Demons.
When I was on the set of Black Sails last month, I asked Clara Paget (Anne Bonny), Toby Schmitz (Jack Rackham) and Jessica Parker Kennedy (Max) what they thought about the situation and what their characters truly felt about one another.
