What can we expect from season 2

The eight-part series, is based, at least in part, on the exploits of the real-life 18th-century pirate Stede Bonnet played by Rhys Darby. Stede goes from being the gentlemanly captain of the ship to the swashbuckling leader of the pirate ship Revenge. After meeting Taika Waititi’s Captain Blackbeard, Stede’s luck begins to change as he attempts to win over his disgruntled crew. Surprising everyone, the polar opposites Stede and Blackbeard fall in love while sailing the seven seas. Now, in addition to navigating their budding romance, they must deal with the dangers of pirate life.

Returning cast members for season two include Samson Kayo, Vico Ortiz, Ewen Bremner, Joel Fry, Matthew Maher, Kristian Nairn, Con O’Neill, David Fane, Samba Schutte, Nat Faxon, and Leslie Jones. The ensemble cast also welcomes new additions, including recurring guest stars Ruibo Qian, Madeleine Sami, Anapela Polataivao, and Erroll Shand, as well as guest stars Minnie Driver and Bronson Pinchot.

Ahead of the season two premiere, viewers can catch up on the first season of Our Flag Means Death, which is currently available for streaming on BINGE.
