Starz has already ordered a third season of its Treasure Island-prequel Black Sails, and season two hasn't even aired yet. To be fair, we thought this was that pirate show with John Malkovich​. (It's not.) Michael Bay is an executive producer, and it stars Toby Stephens, who we were surprised to learn is the youngest son of the Dowager Countess Dame Maggie Smith.

Starz must think this show is super good, because it ordered a second season before Black Sails even debuted back in January. To that, we shrug our shoulders. We've been watching The Knick, to be honest.
