So excited, the first season is such a wonderful time, Stede is a phenomenal character, and Rhys Darby is perfect.

Yay!!! This show is so fun and I can't wait to see what happens in season 2!

I'm ready to set sail for season 2! I really enjoyed the first season and am glad that very soon I can continue the story of the Gentleman Pirate.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


We already knew that a second season of Our Flag Means Death was on the way, and now Max has finally put a date on it: the show will set sail again on October 5th.

While there aren’t a lot of narrative details just yet, the new season will continue to follow the tumultuous romance between pirates Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby) and Blackbeard (Taika Waititi), both of whom are kinda sorta based on their real-life counterparts.

Things didn’t end so well in the first season, so there’s going to be plenty of drama this time around.

In addition to the return of the main cast — which includes Samson Kayo, Vico Ortiz, Ewen Bremner, Joel Fry, Matthew Maher, Kristian Nairn, Con O’Neill, David Fane, Samba Schutte, Nat Faxon, and Leslie Jones — season 2 is bringing some new characters along for the ride.

New guest stars include Minnie Driver, Bronson Pinchot, Ruibo Qian, Madeleine Sami, Anapela Polataivao, and Erroll Shand.

While you wait for the new season, be sure to dig into our in-depth interview with show creator David Jenkins about everything that went down in season 1.
