Run it back! Taika Waititi said, “Run it back!” HBO Max has made the decision to bring Our Flag Means Death around for a second season. The show’s first 10-episode installment received good reviews and was praised for its positive representation LGBT+ characters.
“We are so happy to bring this truly one of a kind series back! We congratulate David, Taika, Rhys and the entire talented cast and crew, and thank the show’s fans for embracing it wholeheartedly,” said Sarah Aubrey, Head of Original Content at HBO Max.
“We felt the show was special while we were making it, but fans’ open-armed embrace of the inhabitants of the Revenge makes heading into a second season all the more sweet. Thanks to our team at HBO Max, our invested executive producers, and our wildly enthusiastic audience for making another voyage to this world possible,” Our Flag Means Death Creator David Jenkins added.
Led by Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby, is a comedy that loosely follows the story of an 18th century pirate named Stede Bonnet.
“After trading in the seemingly charmed life of a gentleman for one of a swashbuckling buccaneer, Stede became captain of the pirate ship Revenge. Struggling to earn the respect of his potentially mutinous crew, Stede’s fortunes changed after a fateful run-in with the infamous Captain Blackbeard,” the show’s longline reads.
“To their surprise, the wildly different Stede and Blackbeard found more than friendship on the high seas… they found love. Now they have to survive it.”
The first 10 episodes of Our Flag Means Death are available on HBO. There is no word as to when production of season two will begin.
