Our flag means death.
The pirate comedy Our Flag Means Death was one of the hits of the early spring here. Fans have been clamoring to know if Our Flag Means Death has been renewed or not.
I can't imagine a world where Our Flag Means Death isn't given a second season. Why? There are a number of reasons.
The Showrunner is confident and thinks that season 2 should be in the cards. I think we're lucky. It was heartening to see how many people responded to the show. The fact that the fans exploded just to see it on social media is a good sign, and bode well for the second season.
There is now a concentrated social media campaign for the season 2 renewal of Our Flag Means Death. The show is punching well above its weight in terms of social media/fan base support, as evidenced by the 15,000 tweets I saw yesterday about season 2.

I don't know what they expected from Our Flag Means Death, but surely it exceeded their forecasts. Our Flag Means Death's finale was the most in-demand series on the two channels for that time. It should be an extremely positive indicator to point to all the same.
I mean, this isn't Black Sails here. With a relatively unknown cast and filmed on what appears to be just a few sets, Our Flag Means Death has to be close to the bottom in terms of overall cost to the network.

Taika Waititi is one of the most in-demand directors in Hollywood, and if I were WB, I wouldn't snub some of his best work by killing off Our Flag Means Death.
In addition to featuring one of the best LGBTQ romances I have ever seen in any series, this was not a show designed to be one season with the love between Blackbeard and Stede on the rocks. Fans want another season in order to see this resolved.
I'm not worried. The chances are good. I expect an announcement soon here.
