Here at Maxim, we love pirates. They drink. They party. They say cool things like, “Avast ye matey!” That’s why we’re psyched about Black Sails, a new series on Starz (the network that brought us the sex-and-violence filled Spartacus) that’s coming out early next year. Executive produced by huge-ass explosions masterMichael Bay, the show follows the adventures of a pirate captain and his men 20 years prior to Robert Louis Stevenson’s you-read-it-in-sixth-grade classic Treasure Island. This, however, is no kid’s book, as Black Sails will feature plenty of hot women, hardcore violence, and pirate-approved cussing as the gang fights for survival. Check out this just-released trailer and you’ll see what we mean. Then, buy yourself a parrot and start getting excited…
