Oh yes, it is that time. In 2012 there will be tree pirate series.
That genre have never really been exploited on tv, so now we will get it all at once. I love this
The Republic of Pirates NBC -
The show is based on the book The Republic of Pirates by Colin Woodard. The story is "set during the 10-year ¡°Golden Age of Piracy¡± from 1715 to 1725, it follows some of the world¡¯s most notorious pirates as they forge their own rogue nation, called New Providence, which became the first democracy in the Americas."

Port Royal - FX
a new one-hour drama series called Port Royal. Set in the late 17th century on the island of Jamaica, the series will chronicle the namesake port¡¯s notorious rise as the ¡°richest and wickedest city¡± in the new world, and as a self-governing safe haven for cutthroat pirates, corrupt politicians, and ruthless merchants. Hurd says, ¡°I¡¯ve long been a fan of FX¡¯s original programming, and I¡¯m thrilled Port Royal has found a home with them. I¡¯m looking forward to working with FX to make the show I¡¯ve envisioned, and one that fits in perfectly with their incredible slate.¡± No cast, writers and directors have been announced yet, but the concept sounds like it cold be FX¡¯s version of Boardwalk Empire.

Pyrates - FOX
Ridley Scott (Robin Hood) and Tony Scott¡¯s (Unstoppable) Scott Free Productions will produce Pyrates for Fox; which will be a 10-13 episode miniseries, based around the largest heist in pirate history (the capture of the Spanish silver fleet in 1628; the event which supposedly launched the golden age of piracy), and will be a gritty portrayal of the men and women involved in its operation.
Pyrates was created by Law and Order¡¯s Barry Schindel, has Stephen Hopkins (24) attached to direct the first episode, and although there¡¯s no start date as yet (locations are currently being scouted in the Caribbean and Australia), it¡¯s predicted to air in summer 2012, but won¡¯t be the only pirate-based series that¡¯s soon to enter production for Fox.
