“Our Flag Means Death” Season Two Premieres October 5 Max

Comedy series “Our Flag Means Death” is returning to Max on October 5 for a second season with eight new episodes. David Jenkins created and runs the show, and Taika Waititi and Garrett Basch serve as executive producers. The first three episodes will air on premiere day, with two more airing each subsequent week until the season finale on October 26.

It’s safe to say that Rhys Darby’s portrayal of 18th-century pirate Stede Bonnet (the focus of “Our Flag Means Death”) is only a loose approximation of the man’s actual life. When Bonnet abandons his life of gentility for that of a pirate, he rises to the rank of captain on the ship Revenge. After a chance encounter with Taika Waititi’s Captain Blackbeard, Bonnet’s life takes a turn as he tries to win over his disgruntled crew. Unexpectedly, Bonnet and Blackbeard develop not only a friendship but also a romantic relationship while sailing the seven seas.

The second season will see the return of cast members Samson Kayo, Vico Ortiz, Ewen Bremner, Joel Fry, Matthew Maher, Kristian Nairn, Con O’Neill, David Fane, Samba Schutte, Nat Faxon, and Leslie Jones. It will also introduce new cast members including Ruibo Qian, Madeleine Sami, Anapela Polataivao, Erroll Shand, Minnie Driver, and Bronson Pinchot in recurring and guest roles.

Who is behind the series

The show is executive produced by Taika Waititi, who also stars in the series, alongside creator-showrunner David Jenkins. Jenkins directed the first two episodes of the second season. Other executive producers include Garrett Basch, Dan Halsted, Adam Stein, and Antoine Douaihy. The second season was filmed in Auckland, New Zealand.
