Our Flag Means Death Season 2 will premiere October 5 and Max has released a trailer and poster teasing the next chapter of the high seas adventure.

As reported by The Verge, Max is preparing to raise the masts for the second season of Our Flag Means Death to set sail on to its streaming service across October. Three episodes will drop on October 5, with two episodes then premiering weekly leading up to the season finale on October 26.

The trailer sees Rhys Darby return as gentleman-turned-pirate Stede Bonnet and Taika Waititi back as the infamous Captain Blackbeard (aka Ed Teach) for more action, adventure, and affection. The coming episodes will see Stede and his crew on a quest to find Ed, who is out for revenge after a bitter parting last season.

The poster keeps Darby and Waititi front and centre, with their stony profiles in the middle of an X comprised of a sword and a rose as an apparent representation of their love/hate relationship. Their heads face outwards to form the shape of a loveheart, but a skeletal face sits in-between to complete the skull and crossbones.

HBO Max renewed Our Flag Means Death for a second season in June 2022 after the show attracted praise from both fans and critics. IGN commended its inversion of pirate lore tropes and its ability to land its emotional story, saying, "it brings the laughs, the subversion, and the misty eyes in equal measure".
