Beloved pirate comedy-slash-LGBT+ romance show Our Flag Means Death season 2 brings back its cast of quirky swashbucklers, to continue the high-seas adventures of this fan-favorite streaming show. The season debuted in the US on Thursday, October 5, and after a stormy wait (which included the show's cancellation), it's now available in the UK too.
US: Max
UK: iPlayer
AU: Binge
Watch abroad: ExpressVPN
Our Flag Means Death centers on the real-life ‘gentleman pirate’ Stede Bonnet (though with plenty of creative liberties taken from true events) and his crew of ruthless, belligerent or downright incompetent associates, as he attempts to be the fiercest pirate of the seas.
The show’s all-star cast includes comedy figures like Taika Waititi, Rhys Darby, Ewen Bremner, Joel Fry, Kristian Nairn, Nat Faxon, Leslie Jones and more, and lets them all run loose with wild characters and silly situations.
While the first season of Our Flag Means Death was a fan favorite, its popularity grew a lot over time, and it was pretty hard to watch in lots of places around the world. So here’s how to watch season 2 from where you are.
How to watch Our Flag Means Death season 2 in the US
In the US, Our Flag Means Death season 2 will be available to watch on the HBO streaming service Max, which is also where you’ll need to go to watch the first season of the show.
The first three episodes of season 2 will land on the streamer at the same time, on Thursday, October 5, and subsequent episodes will be available to watch weekly from then. If you’re a binge-watching fan, you’ll have to wait until Thursday, October 26 to watch the whole run in one go.
