| 1 | * DuelingShows: With ''Series/{{Crossbones}}'' on Creator/{{NBC}}, another show set during UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfPiracy and the Republic of Pirates, but loosely based on history and starring Creator/JohnMalkovich as UsefulNotes/{{Blackbeard}}. ''Crossbones'' was cancelled after a single season due to being ScrewedByTheNetwork, while ''Black Sails'' had a respectable four-season run. |
| 2 | * FakeBrit: |
| 3 | ** Vane is played by [[Creator/ZachMcGowan one of the few Americans]] on the show. You'd never know it. |
| 4 | ** Australians Toby Schmitz and Luke Arnold, playing Jack Rackham and John Silver respectively. |
| 5 | * TheOtherDarrin: Roland Reed replaced Jannes Eiselen as Dufresne in Season 2 after Eiselen was diagnosed with brain cancer. Fortuitously, the change in actor roughly coincides with some character development, so the "new" Dufresne looking different is less jarring. Eiselen survived the removal of the tumor, but surgery and recovery prevented him from meeting Season 2's production schedule, and Reed has kept the role since. Eiselen sadly passed away in September of 2016, two days after his 36th birthday. |
| 6 | * RealLifeRelative: Several relatives of the cast appear in secondary roles. |
| 7 | ** Mrs. Hudson was played by the wife of Creator/TobyStephens, Anna-Louise Plowman. His brother Chris Larkin also appeared as Captain Berringer. |
| 8 | ** Louise Barnes's husband Nick Boraine played Peter Ashe. |
