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.
