Our Flag Means Death, the fan-favorite LGBTQ+ show that has seemingly been flying under its own network’s radar ever since it premiered, is finally coming back for a second outing. Granted, we’ve known that the series got renewed since last year, but reality hadn’t properly set in until this very day. The continued lack of updates from Max was the main cause for this, and if it weren’t for the occasional words of comfort and reassurance from the show’s writers and actors, viewers would’ve lost hope already.
Past woes aside, David Jenkins’ pirate comedy will indeed be back with new episodes, to hopefully heal the wounds left by season one’s heartbreaking finale. The last time we saw the crew of the Revenge, most were stranded on an island, while Jim (Vico Ortiz) and Frenchie (Joel Fry) became captives of a despaired Blackbeard (Taika Waititi). With Rhys Darby’s Stede on his way to make things right, season two will naturally focus on the Gentleman Pirate’s journey to win back Blackbeard’s heart.
So, when is Our Flag Means Death coming back? That’s the question on everyone’s minds at the moment, and it is with much joy that I report that we finally have an official release date.
Our Flag Means Death season 2 release date
Amid the collective fan despondency caused by Max’s usual silence, David Jenkins — Our Flag Means Death‘s creator and executive producer — answered our prayers back in July, by giving us season two’s release window before Max even had the chance to. Now, though, an exact release has been confirmed, so get ready to set sail again. Season two of Our Flag Means Death will premiere on Oct. 5, on Max.
The big announcement came with the much-anticipated teaser trailer that fans had been requesting for months, providing us with just a small peek at all the adventures in store for our favorite pirate crew.
It’s been such an excruciatingly long wait for Our Flag Means Death enthusiasts, and it finally paid off in the best way imaginable. Fans better get used to this feeling, though, as there will surely be a lot more content to come in the next few weeks.
