Our Flag Means Death creator David Jenkins has confirmed the cancellation of the Max period romantic comedy series. Starring Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi, the show follows the adventures of Stede Bonnet, a wealthy land-owner turned pirate, and his eventual encounter with the infamous Blackbeard. Premiering in 2022, the show quickly gained a devoted following but unfortunately will not be returning for a third season.
Jenkins took to Instagram to announce the end of the show, expressing gratitude for the fan campaigns to save it. Despite the show's popularity and critical acclaim, including praise for its LGBTQ+ representation, HBO and Max decided to end it due to insufficient streaming numbers.
