Subscribe to our newsletter I'm afraid I come bearing bad news Black Sails , the hit pirate TV series starring Toby Stephens, is leaving Netflix US on April 17.

All four seasons have been a mainstay on the streaming service since April 2024, hinting that a two-year contract for licencing the show could be
drawing to a close. It's not difficult to see why Black Sails has been so popular. It follows the feared Captain Flint (Stephens) as he fights to protect the lawless, cutthroat New Providence Island from British and Spanish invasion. There's also a huge political focus, treasure hunting, and the transformation of John Silver.

It's arguably enjoyed a
new life on one of the best streaming services around after it aired on Starz between 2014-2017.

Then there are our typical streaming service options. Starz hosts all four seasons, which you can subscribe to in a bundle with Apple TV . Philo is then your next best bet (especially because of the below streaming deal ): Philo: 7-day free trial

One of the cheapest cable alternatives is Philo , a service that offers a niche package of cable channels, including Comedy Central, Logo, Hallmark, VH1, and MTV. Starting at just $28 a month, new customers can enjoy a seven-day free trial period to test out the service and see if it's the one for you. View Deal Prime Video also hosts Black Sails , but only the first season. If you want the other three on the platform, you'll need to buy or rent them.

In the UK, all four seasons are streaming free on ITVX , or you've also got the above options of Apple TV and Prime Video. For Australians, your first port of call is Stan .

Like I said, the options are endless and the effort is worth it for a
program that's still considered to be the greatest pirate TV show of all time (at least by me). Come for the streaming options, stay for the delicious
drama at sea. Follow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred
