'Black Sails' Season 2 Trailer And Release Date: Hannah New Will Join Cast, Starz Bought Season 2 Of 'Treasure Island' Prequel Before Season 1 Aired [VIDEO]

The breakout Starz show "Black Sails" has just released its first trailer for season 2. "Black Sails" season 2 is coming to Starz in 2015.

About "Black Sails"

The eight-episode first season of "Black Sails" centers on the tales of Captain Flint and his men, and takes place twenty years before the events "Treasure Island," which the show, if it goes on long enough, will eventually get into. The show is a blend of the ficitional univese of "Treasure Island" and real historical pirates and locations.

 "Black Sails" is executive produced (thankfully not directed) by Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes Partners Brad Fuller and Andrew Form. The series was created by showrunner and executive producer Jonathan Steinberg, and co-executive producer Robert Levine

 Production began on the 10-episode second season at Cape Town Studios in Cape Town, South Africa in November.

Starz was quick to give the series the green light for Season 2, renewing it long before the first season even debuted. Which is good, because season 1 ended on a pretty big cliff hanger. Season 1 came out in January, so it is resonable to expect season 2 to come out about the saem time. 

Hannah New will be joining the cast of 'Black Sails' for its Season 2, and she recently shared some details about her character with Collider.

New's character is set to be the "woman in charge." However, Hanna New says that the role is "fun," considering that she's going to play character that will be a "formidable force" on the show.

"The stakes are always so high in the show. Everything she deals with either has the threat of violence or the threat of her business going under. She has so much to deal with, and she can't deal with it lightly. She has to go in heavy-handed, and that's a very fun way to deal with situations. Sometimes I wish I could do the same," she said of her character, Eleanor.

"Being a visionary and having an ideal that goes beyond her own personal desires or emotions means that she constantly has to subjugate her own desires, in order to fulfill this much bigger ambition that she has. That's a constant trial. I think she's constantly internally battling with that," she said.

'Black Sails' airs Saturday nights on Starz
