Alas, me mateys, it turns out there's only one thing riskier than being a pampered 18th-century aristocrat who suddenly decides to try their hand at being a pirate: being a critically acclaimed Lgbtqia+-friendly show with a passionate and fiercely loyal fanbase at Warner Bros. Discovery under the watch of CEO David Zaslav.
Sadly, after two magnificent seasons of plundering the seven seas, "Our Flag Means Death" has officially been canceled. "While Max will not be moving forward with a third season of 'Our Flag Means Death,' we are so proud of the joyous, hilarious, and heartfelt stories that creator David Jenkins, Taika Waititi, Rhys Darby, Garrett Basch, Dan Halsted, Adam Stein, Antoine Douaihy, and the entire superb cast and crew brought to life," a Max spokesperson said in a statement posted by Variety.

Max is not moving forward with a third season of its period comedy series Our Flag Means Death. Deadline understands that the first two seasons will not be removed from the streaming service.
From David Jenkins, Our Flag Means Death is based (very) loosely on the true adventures of 18th-century would-be pirate Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby). After trading the seemingly charmed life of a gentleman for one of a swashbuckling buccaneer, Stede became captain of the pirate ship Revenge.
Struggling to earn the respect of his potentially mutinous crew, Stede’s fortunes changed after a fateful run-in with the infamous Captain Blackbeard (Taika Waititi). To their surprise, the wildly different Stede and Blackbeard found more than friendship on the high seas … they found love. Now, they have to survive it.
The series also stars Samson Kayo, Vico Ortiz, Ewen Bremner, Joel Fry, Matthew Maher, Kristian Nairn, Con O’Neill, David Fane,...
