I don’t think an expensive period piece filming on ships/water will be brought back when the industry is tightening its belt.

:( so sad, but true.

Water is hard to film apparently - and there is only 1 James Cameron - despite the best efforts of 20th Century Studios

Isn't it almost entirely CGI though?

Black Sails wasn't even that successful, it's kind of wonder it got all its seasons to be honest.

Starz also doesn't really have the means to do big things anymore. Maybe if Lionsgate (that owns them IIRC) is bought by a big player ala Apple or Amazon...
