It’s been seven years since Black Sails finished its fourth season. Since then, people have inquired about the status of a fifth season. Jonathan E. Steinberg and Robert Levine produced the historical adventure series “Black Sails.” The story is a prelude to Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1883 novel Treasure Island. Is a Season 5 release date on the horizon? Here’s everything we know about Black Sails Season 5, including whether or not it will air.
Is there a Release Date for Black Sails Season 5?
There is no Black Sails Season 5 release date because the series concluded after four seasons. In 2017, Starz, the streaming service behind Black Sails, and the show’s creators announced that the show had reached its logical conclusion after four seasons (via TV Line).
Jonathan Steinberg, the creator of the series, said in a statement “It’s a rare privilege in television to be given the kind of creative freedom we’ve enjoyed on this show over the last four years, While it was a difficult decision for us to make this season our last, we simply couldn’t imagine anything beyond it that would make for a better ending to the story nor a more natural handoff to [the story of] Treasure Island.”

The fourth and final season of the show was always intended to be the last one, according to Starz’s managing director Carmi Zlotnik, who said in a separate statement that “Jon Steinberg and Robert Levine, along with their crew and the phenomenal cast, have delivered a spectacular take on the most legendary pirate story in literature, and this final season will bring us to the shores of Treasure Island as was always intended… We are quite proud of this unique series.
Furthermore, co-creator Robert Levine of the series stated in a 2017 Deadline interview that they always intended for Black Sails’ conclusion to seamlessly transition into Treasure Island’s events. They stated that they wanted to leave viewers in a position where they could wrap up the show and dive right into the first chapter of the Treasure Island book.
