Warning: This article contains Major Spoilers for Our Flag Means Death seasons 1 and 2.
Ever since season two of Our Flag Means Death was confirmed back in June 2022, eagle-eyed fans have been scouring every news story and IMDb listing to see if the season two casting announcements would answer a particularly burning question.
And that question is: did Lucius survive?!
We met the quick-witted Lucius Springs in season one as one of the crew members aboard The Revenge, the pirate ship manned by Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby), and he instantly became a fan favorite, especially as his relationship with fellow crew member Black Pete blossomed through the series, and as he became an unofficial relationship counsellor for Stede and Blackbeard.
But then, in the season one finale, a newly brutal, broken-hearted Blackbeard (Taika Waititi) throws Lucius overboard:

The sitcom Our Flag Means Death has behaved in a very piratey way, quite frankly. When it burst onto the scene last year, it unexpectedly plundered fans’ hearts, leaving their new favorite ship – between Rhys Darby as Stede Bonnet and Taika Waititi as Blackbeard – wrecked, and left us stranded on a cliffhanger of a finale desperate for a second series.
Thankfully, the treasure that is season two of Our Flag Means Death is released on Max on Oct. 5, and it’s as adorable as ever, with a whole crew of new characters to fall in love with:

A pirate's life isn't all that it's cut out to be. On Sept. 14, HBO released the trailer for "Our Flag Means Death" season two, which finds our lovable band of chaotic pirates facing not just the perils of danger but also of love. When the Max series, starring Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi as pirates Stede Bonnet and Edward Teach (aka Blackbeard), premiered in 2022, it roped fans in as a comedy stacked with famously funny actors - but it's the budding romance between the two pirate leads that made them stay. In season two, Stede is trying to win back Ed, while Ed is intent on killing him.
The series was originally renewed back in June 2022. David Jenkins, the show's creator, said in a statement at the time, "We felt the show was special while we were making it, but fans' open-armed embrace of the inhabitants of the Revenge makes...

Ready the cannons! Not only does season 2 of "Our Flag Means Death" actually exist, but a brand new trailer now exists to prove it to all the non-believers! Honestly, folks should have already been back on deck, as Max delivered a little teaser back in August as a morsel of a treat to hold fans over until the show's triumphant return. In fact, it almost felt as if "Ofmd" was going to be yet another casualty of David Zaslav's kink for obliterating the Warner Bros. Discovery (and Max streaming service) library to earn tax write-downs, but the fandom rallied and made sure to justify the cost of the reported 50 different sets necessary for season 2 to play out. All too often, pirate shows and movies take the swashbuckling life a little too seriously, but "Our Flag Means Death" keeps things action-packed while also remembering that most pirates were a bunch...

I've never been on a boat long enough to develop cabin fever. Still, I imagine it feels a little like having to wait several months for Warner Bros. Discovery to finally renew its surprise-hit queer pirate comedy series "Our Flag Means Death", and then having to wait another 14 months for hard evidence that season 2 is actually a thing that exists.
Thankfully, we can leave the passive aggression to 18th-century aristocratic high society for now, and instead take joy in knowing "Our Flag Means Death" is not only coming back for more hijinks and romance on the high seas, it's coming back soon. Picking up where season 1 left things, this new season will continue the love story of everyone's favorite pirate dads, Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby) and Edward "Ed" Teach/Blackbeard (Taika Waititi), as they -- hopefully! -- find their way back to one another after a series of unfortunate events...

It turns out "Our Flag Means Death" didn't get lost at sea after all: Vanity Fair has just shared an exclusive first look at season 2, complete with casting information, first-look photos, and character tidbits about all our favorite pirates. Among the revelations? That cast newcomer Minnie Driver is set to play Anne Bonny, Ed "Blackbeard" Teach (Taika Waititi) will indeed have a bit of a beard this season, and perpetually angry first mate Izzy Hands (Con O'Neill) will be "enraged by unrequited love," as O'Neill put it.
All the new info comes courtesy of a set visit from December 2022, and while a firm release date hasn't yet been announced for the hit Max rom-com, there's still plenty here worth getting excited about.

Warning: Contains spoilers for Our Flag Means Death Season 1 (and potentially Season 2)
It had everything: swashbuckling sword fights, a lovably silly – not to mention diverse and inclusive – crew of shipmates, and the most unexpectedly (pirate)shippable romance of the year. If the first season of Our Flag Means Death left you hungry for more, we’ve got some good news for you: Series 2 is on the way in 2023.
But what lies ahead for Stede Bonnet and Blackbeard after that cliffhanger of a Series 1 finale? Will they (and their love for each other) survive? And seeing as Stede Bonnet was a real pirate, and much of Our Flag Means Death is based on a true story, what does history tell us about The Gentleman Pirate’s potential fate?
Season 2 Will Arrive in 2023

When Warner Brothers Discovery started eviscerating so much wonderful programming on HBO Max, there was a great deal of worry that "Our Flag Means Death" would likely be on the chopping block. But just like the Gentleman Pirate, in spite of every danger thrown its way, the series lives on to sail another day with a second season currently in development.
"Our Flag Means Death" is a hilarious showcase for comedian Rhys Darby, who brings a delightful amount of heart, flair, and, of course, humor to the swashbuckling period comedy about Steve Bonnet, a wealthy Englishman who ultimately chooses piracy during a mid-life crisis. Along with his crew of lovable Queer misfits, the Gentleman Pirate gets into sorts of misadventures on the high seas.
The series features an all-star ensemble with Nathan Foad, Joel Fry, Gus Khan, Matthew Maher, Kristian Nairn, Con O'Neill, and Vico Ortiz, in addition to a slew of guest stars.

The crew of the Revenge are setting sail once again. Comedy series “Our Flag Means Death” has been renewed for Season 2, HBO Max has announced. The news comes almost three months after the show’s first season finished airing this March.
Created by David Jenkins, “Our Flag Means Death” stars Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi as real-life pirates Stede Bonnet and Ed Teach, better known as Blackbeard. The series follows Bonnet, an English aristocrat, as he abandons his family in an attempt to find himself as a pirate, with his mild-mannered and gentlemanly demeanor proving to be a poor match to a life of crime. Over the course of Season 1, he teams up with Ed and they unexpectedly fall in love, only for the season to end with the two separated and a heartbroken Ed embracing his dark Blackbeard persona.
The first season of “Our Flag Means Death” received generally positive reviews from critics.

Our Flag Means Death is coming back for a second season on HBO Max.
The streamer renewed the comedy from creator-showrunner David Jenkins, EP/star Taika Waititi and executive producer Garrett Basch.
Our Flag Means Death debuted March 3 and is very loosely based on the true adventures of 18th century would-be pirate Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby). Here’s the logline: “After trading in the seemingly charmed life of a gentleman for one of a swashbuckling buccaneer, Stede became captain of the pirate ship Revenge. Struggling to earn the respect of his potentially mutinous crew, Stede’s fortunes changed after a fateful run-in with the infamous Captain Blackbeard (Waititi). 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.”

After what felt like centuries of waiting (it was just a couple of months), HBO Max has finally renewed “Our Flag Means Death,” the seafaring pirate comedy that quietly became one of the most-watched and talked about shows of 2022. The show, from creator-showrunner David Jenkins, executive producer and star Taika Waititi and executive producer Garrett Basch, will return to HBO Max for a second season.
Loosely based on the real-life story of Stede Bonnet (played in the show by Taika’s regular collaborator Rhys Darby), the so-called “gentleman pirate,” who left his life of luxury to sail the seas (with civility). Along his adventure he crosses paths with the fearsome Captain Blackbeard (played by Waititi). While initially their interactions are hostile, and the early “Our Flag Means Death” episodes certainly play up the suspense of their potential collision, the two pirates gain much from one another, eventually forming a close-knit...

A few episodes into “Our Flag Means Death,” aristocrat turned pirate ship captain Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby) admires his spoils with a frisson of glee. “Why can’t one be a gentleman and a pirate?” he muses aloud to no one in particular, before deciding to embrace that inherent contradiction as his new moniker. And lo, “The Gentleman Pirate” is born, and the logline of “Our Flag Means Death” stated as clearly as can be.
From creator David Jenkins and executive producer-director-actor Taika Waititi, the new pirate comedy sets sail on the high seas with impressively detailed production design and motley crew of ne’er do wells headed up by Darby’s Stede, who craves adventure as much as his creature comforts.

Former Flight of the Conchords and What We Do in the Shadows collaborators Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi set sail for the high seas and charter a return to the mockumentary in HBO Max’s Our Flag Means Death.
For the upcoming series, created by showrunner David Jenkins, the fellow New Zealanders suit up as two notable figures in the pirating world: Darby as aristocrat-turned-pirate Stede Bonnet and Waititi as the elusive and notorious Blackbeard. The stars spoke with Deadline about coming aboard the comedy and striking gold with the latest addition to their lengthy history of collaboration.
“I feel really lucky when something like this comes along,” mused Waititi, who serves as Our Flag Means Death executive producer and directed the pilot. “This is the most fun I’ve had acting for a long time.”

Enjoy Taika Waititi’s Blackbeard as a swaggering celebrity pirate and Rhys Darby (“Flight of the Concords”) the hilariously ineffective “gentleman pirate” in the full length trailer for HBO Max’s “Our Flag Means Death,” which dropped on Wednesday. HBO Max also announced that the first three episodes will debut on Thursday, March 3.
The 10-episode series is from David Jenkins and Waititi, who executive produces in addition to swordfighting and rocking head to toe leather as the infamous pirate. He also directed the pilot.
Darby’s pirate Stede Bonnet, who aims to “kill with kindness” and defeat his enemies by outdressing them, is based very loosely on the real adventures of a wealthy 18th century landowner who left his comfortable estate to sail the high seas.
On board the Revenge with a potentially mutinous crew, Stede is the kind of pirate who thoughtfully replaces the books he steals with ones he’s already read.
