THE PREMISE
When young Jim Hawkins and his fiercely determined mother Bess come into possession of Captain Flint’s legendary treasure map, they are swept into a brutal race for unimaginable riches. They cross the Atlantic aboard the Hispaniola. During their journey, Jim enters a world of shifting loyalties, ruthless ambition, and deadly secrets. In fact, trust can be as dangerous as betrayal. At the heart of the expedition is Long John Silver. He is a charismatic and deeply complex survivor whose ambitions challenge every certainty Jim holds. Through treacherous landscapes and escalating conflict, the hunt for treasure becomes a battle between loyalty and ambition. As a result, it will change them forever.
The series also stars Craige Els (Andor) as Mr Arrow, Tristan Sturrock (Poldark) as Captain Smollett, and Neil Pendleton (Outlander) as Mr Cameron.
