NBC Joining the Pirate Horde With Upcoming Series Crossbones
15 May 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
Yesterday we showed you the first trailer for Revolution, the excellent-looking new series coming to NBC in the fall. Today at the official NBC upfronts they made an announcement about another show we’ll be watching: Crossbones. It’s about the pirate colony run by Blackbeard, which also happens to be “the first functioning democracy in the Americas.”
This is not to be confused with another pirate series, the Starz Treasure Island prequel Black Sails that we told you about a week ago. Hmm, last year fairy tales, this year pirates. We are totally good with that. Here’s hoping that the pirate horde is as successful as the fairy tale gang, especially Crossbones, given that this series creator, Neil Cross, was the creator of the fully excellent British crime drama Luther.
