What To Expect From Our Flag Means Death Season 2
After proclaiming their affection for each other in the season 1 finale of Our Flag Means Death, Stede and Blackbeard find themselves separated. However, their professed love appears to be just the beginning, as indicated by the synopsis. The real challenge lies in their fight for survival. As the story progresses, the focus shifts away from the unlikely romance in this comedy. Excitingly, new characters will join the thrilling adventure.
Minnie Driver, an Emmy nominee, will join the cast of Our Flag Means Death season 2 as the real-life Irish pirate Anne Bonny. Ruibo Qian, known for her role in Manchester by the Sea, will also be joining the ensemble as a mystery merchant named Susan. They will be joining the returning actors Darby, Waititi, Samson Kayo, Vico Ortiz, Ewen Bremner, Joel Fry, Matthew Maher, Kristian Nairn, Con O’Neill, David Fane, Samba Schutte, Nat Faxon, and Leslie Jones.
If Our Flag Means Death season 3 is renewed, it could potentially be the show's final season, according to the series creator. Jenkins has hinted that there may be more to come, but is also open to concluding the story with three parts. Nonetheless, viewers can still expect plenty of exciting developments as the pirate saga continues.
