Why ‘Our Flag Means Death’ seems destined for a season 2 renewal

5 April, 2022

One of the sleeper hits of the early spring here has been Our Flag Means Death, the pirate comedy turned sweet romance that aired on HBO Max for the last few weeks. But in the wake of season 1, fans have been clamoring to hear news about season 2, and whether Our Flag Means Death has been cancelled or renewed.

While we have no official news from HBO, I cannot envision a world where Our Flag Means Death is not given a second season. Why? A number of reasons:

The Showrunner is Confident – In an interview with Polygon, showrunner David Jenkins cites fan passion as a key indicator that season 2 should be in the cards: “I think they look good. I think we’re so lucky. It’s been so heartening to see how many people are responding to the show. Just in the last week, the fandom exploded — just to see it on Twitter, to see the fan art, is so gratifying...So the fact that that’s happening, I think, is really a good sign, and bodes well for season 2.”
