The official trailer for Treasure Island is here, offering a first look at the upcoming series. The preview teases the series’ new take on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel.
Treasure Island premieres Sunday, October 11, on MGM+. The streamer describes the upcoming six-part series as a “high-stakes reinvention” of Stevenson’s 1883 novel.
According to the series’ official synopsis, “Treasure Island follows teenager Jim Hawkins and his formidable mother Bess as they’re pulled into a deadly race for the treasure of the infamous Captain Flint. Battling for control are Long John Silver—a ruthless survivor who is just as charming as he is cunning —and Aaron Graham, a revolutionary spy seeking to use the gold to upend colonial power. Set in 1788 across storm-battered Cornwall, treacherous seas, and a jungle island soaked in secrets, this is Treasure Island reimagined as a thrilling, immersive, and character-driven epic.”
