Premise

Sinbad accidentally kills the son of the powerful Lord Akbari in a fist fight. As recompense for the blood debt, Sinbad's brother is killed in front of his eyes. Sinbad escapes, but his grandmother uses a magic talisman to curse him for the death of his brother. The curse prevents Sinbad from staying on land for more than one day; if he tarries the talisman will choke him to death. This prohibition against remaining on land leads to a life of adventure at sea that holds many wonders. Sinbad is unaware that he is still being hunted by Lord Akbari, who does not consider Sinbad's brother's death as sufficient payment of the blood debt.

In the city of Basra, Sinbad (Knight) is in a fighting ring with a young man who turns out to be the son of Lord Akbari (Andrews). When the fight results in the son's death, both Sinbad and his brother Jamil (Anderson) are captured by Akbari, who orders the death of Jamil in revenge, though Akbari admits that his blood debt would not be satisfied even if he also killed Sinbad. After Sinbad escapes, his grandmother (Janet Suzman) curses him with an amulet, which will exile him at sea; if he is to spend more than one day and night on land, he will die. He stows away on board a vessel, the Providence, but during the night the ship is terrorised by sea demons, and a storm kills all but a handful of the crew and passengers, who include the imposing northman Gunnar (Cowen), thief and fellow stowaway Rina (Corlett), wealthy African beauty Nala (Daniels), ship's doctor Anwar (Leonidas), and the Cook (Inocian).

Sinbad sets out to find a magical stone that reveals the future in order to discover more about his destiny. The group encounter Riff (Lee Ingleby), a bitter young lad who also desperately desires the stone for himself. As his father, the Grandmaster of the stone, forbids him from using it, believing his son far from ready and insufficiently evolved to do so. Riff agrees to help them steal it. However, once they reach the chamber where the stone's kept, they are caught by the Grandmaster, who immediately has Sinbad put to death due to recognising him as being his killer from a previous vision. Riff convinces his father he wants to prove himself by being the one to execute Sinbad, then goes on to poison Sinbad. Although we later find that the poisoning was just a ruse organised by Tiger (Tuppence Middleton) - a bounty hunter sent by Taryn to return Sinbad to Basra. And just as he discovers he's still alive, Tiger places a necklace-lock around his neck, which will kill him if he attempts to escape from her. However, Sinbad realises that Tiger is to keep him alive at all costs, and convinces her to allow him to find the stone first, and then he will go with her freely. Riff later tricks his father into entering the stone's labyrinth, and instead lands up killing him in a similar condition to his father's vision. Once Sinbad has the stone instead of consulting it he decides to rather destroy it, but is shown multiple visions of the future as it shatters into shards. Aboard the ship Sinbad reveals to Cook his visions of an abandoned city, and his brother Jamil with him. The Cook tells Sinbad it must've been a vision of the 'Land of the Dead' and it seems he's being directed to go there. Sinbad convinces Tiger to abandon Taryn's bidding and rather join their little group.

They learn the serpent is growing, and requires a human to feed on. The professor loses an arm from an attack before she is saved. Anwar learns that the professor worked with a radical scientist. The crew decide to lure out the creature before it gets too big. After the professor willfully allows the creature to feed on her, Anwar realizes she found a way to merge herself with the serpent.

The Providence crew make their way to a monastery to find Tiger's friend, Brother Angelico, who supposedly has the map to the Land of the Dead.

Gunnar, wanting no further part in the quest, decides to leave and become a silk merchant instead, where he falls for a widow named Lara (Miranda Raison). However, the group learn that the island is being terrorised by a beast known as The Fiend. Gunnar is captured, accused of being The Fiend by Father La Stessa (Dougray Scott). Sinbad offers to find the real Fiend by nightfall, or if he fails La Stessa's congregation can then go ahead and execute Gunnar. They discover that the local bartender, Philippe (Mathew Horne) is in fact The Fiend, just as Lara realizes that La Stessa is controlling it. Sinbad tricks it into killing La Stessa instead, and the crew convince the lucid bartender how he might control his transformations in future. Meanwhile, Taryn poses as a nun to ask Angelico for the direction to the Land of the Dead. When he still refuses, she kills him.

Meanwhile, Gunnar realises Tiger's strange behaviour, and manages to separate her from Taryn. He then finds Sinbad and manages to break the Guardian's hold on him. However his consciousness is trapped in a limbo-like state, where he encounters his crew mates who have no recollection of him, even Jamil. Taryn manages to send him back to life. She reveals that Sinbad is both alive and dead in the Land, and is the only person who can make his way to the city. The crew find Jamil, and they go into hiding until the Guardians calm down. Taryn also finds Alehna in a library, who reveals that Sinbad previously went to the land as an infant before his father freed him. As hounds surround the library, Anwar finds a hidden exit. However, to ensure the group's escape, Jamil sacrifices himself to a Guardian. As the group feast, Anwar convinces Sinbad to continue. As he says goodbye to his brother, it is revealed that Alehna is possessed by some form of darkness that she brought back with her into the land of the living.

Production

The announcement was made as Murphy wanted to shed Sky's reputation for broadcasting primarily foreign imports and "shifting the budget" to put "terrestrial levels of spend" behind the shows.
