Our Flag Means Death Premiere Date and Teaser Trailer Released by Max
Stede and Blackbeard’s love story is one for the ages — and the seas — in the teaser trailer for Our Flag Means Death Season 2.
The one-minute teaser sees Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby) pen a love letter to Captain Blackbeard (Taika Waititi), writing, “I love everything about you.” Meanwhile, Blackbeard channels his feelings differently by crashing a wedding.
The trailer reveals many antics from the pirate crew when Our Flag Means Death returns with its three-episode Season 2 premiere on Thursday, October 5, on Max. The Max Original comedy series will stream new episodes weekly leading up to the season finale on October 26.
Anticipation for the eight-episode second season has built since Our Flag Means Death Season 1 concluded in March 2022. As previously reported, casting news and a premiere window for the show’s second outing were announced earlier this week.
The then HBO Max, now Max, renewed Our Flag Means Death for Season 2 in June 2022. “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,” creator-showrunner David Jenkins said.
“Thanks to our team at HBO Max, our invested executive producers, and our wildly enthusiastic audience for making another voyage to this world possible,” Jenkins added.
Alongside Darby and Waititi, Our Flag Means Death Season 2 will see returning 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.
New additions to the ensemble cast include recurring guest stars Ruibo Qian, Madeleine Sami, Anapela Polataivao, and Erroll Shand, and guest stars Minnie Driver and Bronson Pinchot.
The teaser trailer shows that returning and new ensemble in all kinds of action set to Prince and The Revolution’s “The Beautiful Ones.”
“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,” per Max’s logline of Our Flag Means Death Season 2.
Taika Waititi, David Jenkins, Garrett Basch, Dan Halsted, Adam Stein, and Antoine Douaihy executive produce Our Flag Means Death Season 2. Jenkins also directed the first two episodes of the second season.
