Since Pirates of the Caribbean happened, not many pirate-themed stories have been able to hit the same highs. But from those that did manage to leave an everlasting impression on us, Our Flag Means Death instantly comes to mind. The swashbuckler-comedy of The Gentleman Pirate Stede Bonnet had some interesting scenarios, and its randomness in that regard felt like a much-needed refresher.

The 10-episode first season was nothing short of a trek across the seas — literally — but by the time the show ended, it wasn’t hard to miss that there was still so much left to tell. Luckily, HBO Max (now Max) already ordered Our Flag Means Death: Season 2 back in June of 2022. Rest assured that the show will return soon enough, but if you’d like to know more about its cast, release date, and story, then sail on ahead.

 

When Is Our Flag Means Death: Season 2 Coming Out?

While HBO Max hasn’t yet stated an exact release date for Our Flag Means Death: Season 2, it did confirm that the new season will drop in 2023. The reveal came as a part of HBO Max’s announcement trailer late last year for all series it was going to air in 2023, but unfortunately, we haven’t heard anything about Season 2 since then.

The Last of Us, Velma, Titans, Succession, and many other shows were also featured besides Our Flag Means Death: Season 2 in the trailer, so Max’s roster of shows this year continues to look amazing. Initially, the fanbase was worried that the series might get canceled due to HBO’s restructuring, but the teaser put doubts to a halt, and considering how much time it has been, a full-scale trailer should be on its way soon.

As for the story of Our Flag Means Death: Season 2, creator David Jenkins was wise enough to not spill the beans on it, but he did say that because fans were overly joyed about the peculiar relationship between Stede and Blackbeard, the team planned on exploring that along with their misadventures at sea.

 

Who Is In The Cast of Our Flag Means Death: Season 2?

With Rhys Darby‘s Stede, The Gentleman Pirate, and Taika Waititi‘s Edward “Ed” Teach, the legendary pirate Blackbeard, being at the heart of Our Flag Means Death: Season 2, expect to see both of them back. Nobody pushed Frenchie and Jim off the plank either, so Joel Fry and Vico Ortiz aren’t going anywhere too.

Ewen Bremner and Samson Kayo will reprise their roles as Nathaniel Buttons and Oluwande Boodhari in Our Flag Means Death: Season 2 as well. The cast only had select actors in the first season. Because it wasn’t gigantic to begin with, almost everybody from the lead actors to Blackbeard’s and Stede’s crew is returning.

Our Flag Means Death started off as a passion project whose success hinged on what the reception would be like. Thankfully, communities worldwide thought of it as wholesome, so much so in fact that it wouldn’t be far-fetched to assume we’ll get a third season, but for now, let’s brace for impact as Season 2 is approaching at full speed.
