Washington [US]: ‘Our Flag Means Death’ has been renewed for Season 2 on HBO Max.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, The privateer satire from maker showrunner David Jenkins and executive producer and star Taika Waititi are returning briefly season. Jenkins said in an explanation”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”.
“Because of our group at HBO Max, our contributed chief makers, and our ridiculously energetic crowd for making one more journey to this world conceivable,” he added.
The generally welcomed satire has been hailed for its portrayal of eccentric storylines specifically.
The first season was partially inspired by Stede Bonnet, an 18th-century would-be pirate (Rhys Darby). “After trading in the seemingly charmed life of a gentleman for one of a swashbuckling buccaneer, Stede became captain of the pirate ship Revenge,” said the official description.
“Struggling to earn the respect of his potentially mutinous crew, Stede’s fortunes changed after a fateful run-in with the infamous Captain Blackbeard (Waititi). 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.”
There is no information yet on how many episodes will be in the upcoming season or when it will premiere.
Season one also featured Nathan Foad, Samson Kayo, Vico Ortiz, Ewen Bremner, Joel Fry, Matt Maher, Kristian Nairn, Con O’Neill, Guz Khan, David Fane, Rory Kinnear, Samba Schutte, Nat Faxon, Fred Armisen, and Leslie Jones, in addition to Darby and Waititi, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
