Crossbones is an American action-adventure drama television series that aired on the NBC network from May 30 to August 2, 2014. The series is a fictionalization of the life of the pirate Edward "Blackbeard" Teach,[1] who is still alive in 1729 (historically, he died in 1718). The show was created by Neil Cross, James V. Hart, and Amanda Welles.[1] Crossbones is based on Colin Woodard's book The Republic of Pirates.[2]
The show was originally supposed to be a part of NBC's midseason schedule, but it was later pushed to summer.[3] The series premiered on May 30, 2014, at 10:00 pm EDT.[4] On July 24, 2014, NBC announced that Crossbones had been canceled, and the final two episodes were removed from the schedule. However, both episodes were later aired on August 2, 2014.[5]
