‘Our Flag Means Death’ Season 3: This is what we know so far

The pirate comedy series, Our Flag Means Death, recently concluded its second season on MAX, leaving fans wondering if a third season is on the cards. Premiering in 2021, the show loosely revolves around Stede Bonnet's (Rhys Darby) decision to become a pirate, despite having little knowledge of the pirate life. His bumbling crew adds to the comedic aspect.

A central plotline of the show features Bonnet forming an unlikely romance with the infamous pirate Edward Teach, also known as Blackbeard (Taika Waititi). Season 2 saw Bonnet's crew trying to come together and Bonnet reuniting with Blackbeard. The season finale saw them leaving piracy behind to open a small inn together.

Creator David Jenkins expressed his inclination towards a three-season story structure, hinting that a third season might be the final chapter of Stede and Ed's tale.


However, uncertainty looms over the possibility of a third season. Factors contributing to this uncertainty include the SAG strike and changes happening behind the scenes at HBO. During a recent conference, HBO and Max Chairman/CEO Casey Bloys discussed the show's prospects.

Bloys acknowledged the show's quality, describing it as funny, well-done, and poignant. Yet, he emphasized the importance of considering a show's performance over a more extended period, beyond a few weeks. The network is currently evaluating whether renewing the series makes sense, leaving the fate of "Our Flag Means Death" Season 3 undecided.
