Our Flag Means Death takes the pirate genre and diversifies it in terms of race, ethnicity, gender identity, and, of course, sexual identity. However, Season 1 does lack in one area: female pirate representation -- aside from Spanish Jackie (Leslie Jones), that is, but she spends most of her pirate days commanding over her bar instead of a ship. However, Spanish Jackie’s reign as the only female pirate on the show is going to end when Season 2 makes landfall in October, as Minnie Driver is set to join the crew of one of Max's best original shows.
Vanity Fair broke the news about Driver on August 24, with an exclusive first look at the highly anticipated second season of Our Flag Means Death. The article, which teases what’s to come in Season 2, revealed the news of Minnie Driver’s guest star casting as real-life Irish pirate Anne Bonny, and this could represent a major step for the show.
