OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH Canceled at Max

A spokesperson for Max recently revealed that Our Flag Means Death had been canceled after season two. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Max shared, “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. We also thank the dedicated fans who embraced these stories and built a gorgeous, inclusive community surrounding the show.”

Well, Max will surely be hearing from these dedicated fans in the days to come. We’re sure that on the heels of Our Flag Means Death getting canceled, a thousand campaigns to save the show will arise. And who knows, maybe they’ll even be successful and we’ll see Our Flag Means Death uncanceled and back on the high seas.

But to all those saddened by this news, we say, losing a show is always hard. And for shows that have a dedicated fanbase, like Our Flag Means Death, cancelation can feel downright harrowing. But, we see you, and your grief is real. The community built around Our Flag Means Death, though, is yours. Hold onto it.

If nothing else, hopefully, Our Flag Means Death has helped to further pave the way for more queer shows to exist proudly on major platforms. Fellow crewmates, we’ll meet you on AO3.
