Next to Abbott Elementary, Our Flag Means Death is the most popular new show of the season. But unlike Abbott, the HBO Max pirate parody has yet to be renewed for a second season. It’s stumping creator and showrunner David Jenkins and star Taika Waititi as much as the rest of us. In a new interview, Jenkins and Waititi commented on Our Flag Means Death Season 2’s delayed renewal.
“I don’t know anything,” Waititi told the Los Angeles Times. “I just think that they should because it makes sense. Also, I need to know what happens next. [Laughs]” SAME, Taika. Same.
“It’s a rough one to not pick up on after what happened at the end of it,” said Jenkins of the March 24 Season 1 finale, which very much sets itself up for another season. “It’s a particularly rough one. I hope they figure it out. I hope they want to do more. I know everyone in the show wants to. Just to go on [social media] and see it trend for like two weeks feels unreal. It’s so gratifying, even not knowing if you’re renewed, to see that people liked it that much.”
