Our Flag Means Death is a pirate workplace comedy that centers queer romance and characters. The show spent nearly 10 weeks on the top of the in-demand streaming charts. It's not bad for a show with almost no marketing.
Our Flag Means Death is the brainchild of David Jenkins, who created 2016's People of Earth. He found comedy treasure with this new show, which centers on the relationship between two historical pirates, and one of them is a director. The historical truth is that the real Bonnet and Teach did interact at some point in their illustrious pirating careers. Fans are happy, because the show was hilarious about being queer on the Caribbean main.
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. Thanks to our team at HBO Max, our invested executive producers, and our wildly enthusiastic audience for making another voyage to this world possible.
Since the show ended, online fans have been pushing for the renewal of Our Flag Means Death. The fans of Our Flag Means Death turned to social media in support of the queer little after it was announced that Julia had been renewed for a second season. Over the course of the two months since the finale aired, there have been hundreds of thousands of searches for #RenewOurFlag. There is no word on when the second season will arrive, but fans can hope that Bonnet and Blackbeard will get back together soon.
