  • First look at the new ‘Treasure Island’ series!
  • Hayley Atwell and David Oyelowo are leading the cast.
  • A deep dive into the show’s gritty visual style.

We just got an exclusive peek! Shiver me timbers, indeed!

Paramount+ and MGM+ are bringing us a brand new take on the classic tale, ‘Treasure Island’. And oh boy, does it look good. We’re already buzzing from the first images.

This isn’t just any pirate show. It’s a six-part adventure series from Playground Entertainment. Get ready for some serious high-seas action.

Guess who’s joining the crew? Hayley Atwell, who you know from Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, is playing Bess Hawkins. And get this: David Oyelowo, from Silo, is stepping into the legendary boots of Long John Silver.

Wow! We love seeing big names tackle iconic roles. Speaking of big names, did you hear Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz are bringing their real-life marriage to the big screen?

Young Tom Sweet, who was great in Great Expectations, is playing Jim. We bet he’s going to steal the show with his youthful energy. The casting here feels so spot-on.

The aesthetic from these first shots? It’s gritty. Real. You can almost smell the sea salt and the danger. The colors look rich, moody. Not your typical shiny pirate story, and we’re here for it. This whole vibe just feels right for Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale.

Our Take

We think this new “Treasure Island” could be a huge hit. The casting is amazing, and the visual style looks incredibly promising for a dark adventure. We’re already marking our calendars for this one. Can’t wait!
