Chief among them: Captain Berringer, “the leader of a contingent of British soldiers who remained in Nassau to take revenge against the pirates,” says executive producer Jon Steinberg. The new foe is played by Chris Larkin (above left, with Luke Roberts and Hannah New), who, we can exclusively reveal, provides the oft-discussed voiceover on the Season 4 trailer. He’s also the real-life brother of Toby Stephens (Captain Flint) and the son of Dame Maggie Smith. “Berringer is tasked by the Nassau governor to reestablish the rule of law and order,” says Larkin. “Justice will be swift and violent.”
