What is Treasure Island about?
The series adapts Stevenson’s 1883 literary favorite about a young pirate’s quest for buried treasure.
The logline for the series reads, “Treasure Island is a bold, high-stakes coming-of-age adventure series for a new generation, charting the transformation of teenager Jim Hawkins from sheltered boy to emboldened young pirate. When Jim gets his hands on a legendary treasure map, his mother Bess’ clever and decisive actions leave him holding valuable knowledge that puts both of their lives in danger. Sailing aboard the Hispaniola, Jim and Bess are caught between the charming, terrifying pirate Long John Silver and the debonair, duplicitous British agent Aaron Graham. Jim must grow up fast as he and his mother fight for survival on a voyage where alliances shift, secrets multiply, and peril closes in from all sides. Set across the Atlantic, in a Caribbean on the brink of revolution and on the terrifying Skeleton Island, the series tracks Jim as he confronts a world far more complex and dangerous than he ever imagined, where resilience, loyalty, and identity are tested — and fortune is the prize.”
