Our Flag Means Death creator “officially confirms” show cannot be saved
Despite the defiant attempt from fans to save queer pirate comedy Our Flag Means Death (OFMD), including a petition and billboard in Times Square, it has been confirmed that the beloved series will not return for a third season. “I can officially confirm that we’ve reached the end of the road,” creator David Jenkins revealed via social media. “At least as far as this sweet show is concerned.
After many complimentary meetings, conversations, etc it seems there is no alternate home for our crew.” Jenkins continued: “Thank you to all of you who sent us out with tremendous love and care.
Your campaign was noticed across the industry. But more importantly it made all of us who worked on this show better able to deal with the loss.” The fan favourite show follows the swash-buckling and often hilarious adventures of gentleman-turned-pirate Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby) and his crew, who sail the seas to try and make a name for themselves while crossing paths with the legendary Blackbeard (Taika Waititi).
Jenkins first announced the cancellation of OFMD on 9 January, writing on social media: “Welp, I’ve got good news and bad. The bad news is clear.
