Creator Discusses Plans and Story for Season 3 of Our Flag Means Death Following Season 2 Finale

Warning: Spoilers for the Our Flag Means Death season 2 finale.

Summary

David Jenkins, the creator, intends to wrap up Our Flag Means Death with a third and final season. Tackling the developing bond between Stede and Ed, the upcoming season will delve into the intricacies of venturing into a joint business endeavor while maintaining a thriving romance.

The show's narrative would explore love during different stages of life, depicting that love stories transcend beyond one's twenties.

David Jenkins, the creator of Our Flag Means Death, offers a glimpse into the show's future after the conclusion of season 2. The second part of this comedic pirate series brought forth a mix of emotions, including moments of sadness and triumph. While a major character met their demise, it also marked the beginning of a new chapter for Stede (played by Rhys Darby) and Blackbeard (portrayed by Taika Waititi), as they embark on a fresh journey despite the heartache.

In a conversation with Inverse following the conclusion of the second season of Our Flag Means Death, Jenkins discussed the finale and shared his aspirations for the third season:

"I have definite plans for season three. It would be wonderful if Max also had plans for season three, as I would be thrilled to collaborate with them on another season of this show. I believe they offer an excellent platform for creating television series. However, it should be noted that season three would mark the final chapter."

I have a clear vision for the direction I want to take it, visualizing the evolution of the romance between Stede and Ed from immature teenagers experiencing their first love, to young adults navigating the complexities of cohabitation. In Season 3, we would delve into the challenges that arise when starting a business together, and explore how to sustain a relationship beyond superficial concerns of attraction. We would examine what it means to truly be there for someone and how to continue growing alongside them, even if one person's growth stagnates. This progression is a natural extension of our belief in enduring happily ever afters.

It's a compelling trilogy of stories that showcases love in youth, young adulthood, and beyond. Just because someone isn't emotionally in their 20s doesn't mean their love story reaches its end.

More to come...
