Our Flag Means Death has been renewed for season 2 by HBO Max. The series premiered its first three episodes on the streaming service on March 3, 2022, releasing subsequent episodes in bundles of 2 or 3 over the following few weeks. The comedy series, which currently holds an aggregated score of 91% on Rotten Tomatoes across 35 critic reviews, was created by People of Earth's David Jenkins and stars Rhys Darby, Ewen Bremner, Joel Fry, Samson Kayo, Con O'Neill, Nathan Foad, Vico Ortiz, Kristian Nairn, Matthew Maher, Guz Khan, David Fane, Rory Kinnear, Leslie Jones, Will Arnett, and Thor: Love and Thunder director Taika Waititi.
The series is a semi-biographical take on the life of actual 18th century Barbadian pirate Stede Bonnet (Darby). He is a wealthy man who abandons his established life to take to the high seas and become a pirate, despite having no clue what he's doing. He and his motley crew attempt to become respected pirates aboard their ship, Revenge, and an encounter with rival pirate Edward Teach (another real-life figure who is better known by his moniker Blackbeard) leads to an unlikely romantic chemistry between the two captains. The show has also featured appearances by many supporting characters played by comic greats including Kristen Schall, Tim Heidecker, Nick Kroll, and SNL's Fred Armisen.
