“We riot at dawn”: Our Flag Means Death officially cancelled
Max’s queer pirate comedy Our Flag Means Death (OFMD) has officially been cancelled after two seasons. The fan favourite show followed 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 as pirates while crossing paths with the legendary Blackbeard (Taika Waititi). “Welp, I’ve got good news and bad,” creator David Jenkins revealed via social media. “The bad news is clear.
OUR FLAG won’t be returning for a third season.” He continued to praise the fans of the show and attributed them to the success of the production: “The second season was made possible by the enthusiasm of one of the most likeable fan communities in the history of this medium. “Your voices made a difference, your art made a difference, your viewership made a difference in securing more OUR FLAG.
Getting to share this show with you and watching you make it yours has been a dream come true.” Jenkins closed his statement: “I’m very sad I won’t set foot on the Revenge again with my friends, some of whom have become close to family.
But I couldn’t be more grateful for being allowed to captain the damn thing in the first place. “Our Flag Means Us. Loving one another, pulling off some pretty weird and beautiful shit, and talking it through… as a crew.” The announcement was meant with an outpouring of sadness.
