The UnXplained - Season 7

During The Golden Age of Piracy, thousands of buccaneers terrorized the high seas and became legends. Their exploits spawned fantastic stories of larger-than-life characters, billion dollar heists, and buried treasure that to this day, has never been found.

Will Earth's next pandemic come from another world?
