I love that NZ is so small I’ve seen Madeline Sami in 3 different things without even trying (OMFD, NZ Bake-off, and Taskmaster NZ)

I’ve gotta say, seeing the BTS stuff is bringing back some of my positive feelings about the show. i’m rewatching s2 and while my criticisms of it have not changed, i’m able to enjoy the things i did like about it a little more.

Samba Schutte hosted a live online cooking class a few days ago and dropped some little extras and other things about Season 2, including scenes that got cut:

-Episode 6/Calypso's Birthday was actually supposed to be Lucius and Pete's wedding. Ed and Stede were supposed to dance to Etta James' "At Last" and Stede gets a makeover from the crew
-Jim/Oluwande/Archie were going to be explicitly shown as a polycule with a scene where all three of them come out of their cabin in just boxer shorts
-Ed/Stede thumb war was improvised
-Buttons is shown on a rope leash in the beginning of the season because he kept trying to run away to the sea (:smith:)
-Ricky made Spanish Jackie eat a nose from the nose jar :gonk:
-Roach made the same sandwich for Blackbeard when he got kicked off the ship that he made for Izzy when he got whacked in the head with it in S1 (Dry bread with pickle and jerky)
-There was supposed to be an official podcast that didn't happen due to the strikes
-Cut scene where Roach tells Ned Low he's a big fan and Ned says "I like this one, torture him a little more" (I love how thrilled Roach looks during the entire torture scene)
-Roach flipping Izzy off at the funeral was improvised and an affectionate gesture

Here's the thread this info comes from but I wanted to save you all from going on the hellsite (and also for people who don't have accounts since you can't see anything past the original tweet):

Just started watching Our Flag Means Death, on Season 2 now and this show is so loving amazing and funny. The best part is that I went into season 1 knowing absolutely nothing other than it was pirate themed.

I'd love a season 2 flag or something with that design (the one that's on Frenchie's awesome coat) but I've never seen an HQ rendering of it anywhere.

i didnt even realize s2 was out til it was over because HBO Max is king of failing to promote poo poo when it should. someone watched s1 of something 4x over? s2's out? nah m8 put out more that sex and the city movie and sopranos reruns into the recs w/e that's definitely something the "watched Our Flag Means Death a bunch" market wants

loved s2 despite its obvious faults from being rushed; Zheng Yi and Auntie were great additions that were done dirty by the compressed season

Hi everyone,

Showrunner David Jenkins has posted on his instagram that Our Flag Means Death has been cancelled.

Here's a screenshot for people having trouble loading it (shows up without text on some mobile broswers if you don't have insta:

Doublepost because I'm understandably kind of upset:

Despite the fact that I think Season 2 had a LOT of problems, I do still love the show overall and wanted to see where a Season 3 would go, especially because it was originally planned to last three seasons. Now I guess we know why Season 2 felt so final, and I'm even more annoyed than before that we didn't even get a full 10 episodes. I hope we get to find out what was going to happen (personally I think Stede and Ed would've almost immediately gotten bored with the inn thing and gone back to pirating in like two weeks but that's just me)

I was just coming here to see if the news was already shared, and I'm very bummed it got the ax. Agree, s2 had a lot of issues but overall it was still a lovely, good time and something I really looked forward to watching.

MAX is getting worse than Netflix about canceling good shows.

Season 2 blew and I thought a lot of the choices they made were bad. It was still nice that it tried to do so much. Took a lot of swings, a lot of which missed but always prefer that to not taking any.

Would have liked to see how they could right the ship in a season 3, but at the very least we'll always have the splendor that is season one.

And this show definitely succeeded in making pirates gay and that's great.

Season 2 was great through to episode 6, it was only the ending that messed it up, and it's pretty clear that they guessed it was cancellation time and speedran things.

I am so bummed not to be spending more time with this cast and crew.

I think there are a lot of issues with season two, but so many of them can be chalked up to the incredibly reduced time and budget. You can sorta hear the narrative tires squeal as they take the show around the curves.

Dang, disappointing but not surprising imo. I'm really quite glad a lot of folks seemed to like season 2 more than I did, but I honestly went back to the first season briefly afterwards to see if I actually liked the show to begin with.

Kristian Nairn is bringing back Wee John Wednesday (Monday this time) onhis Insta Lives since s2 is going to start airing in the UK. I managed to catch a couple of the ones he did for s1 last year and they were a lot of fun (the one with Leslie Jones was my favorite)!
