Yahoo News Our Flag Means Death cancelled after two seasons
Our Flag Means Death is no more.
The pirate comedy starring Rhys Darby as Stede Bonnet and Taika Waititi as Blackbeard has been cancelled by streaming service Max after two seasons.
A spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter: "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."

Set in the 18th century, the show followed Stede Bonnet as he and his shipmates crossed paths with the legendary Blackbeard.
Supporting cast members included Trainspotting's Ewen Bremner as Nathaniel Buttons, Game of Thrones' Joel Fry as Frenchie, Kristian Nairn as Wee John Feeney, and Happy Valley's Con O'Neill as Izzy Hands.
Jenkins confirmed the unfortunate news on Instagram.
"OUR FLAG won't be returning for a third season," he wrote. "We've sailed at the pleasure of the fine people at Max, and it brought them no joy to see this journey come to a premature end.

"Casey Bloys, Sarah Aubrey, Suzanna Makkos, Billy Wee, and David Ruby have been incredible champions of this show. They allowed us to make something authentically weird and heartfelt, cheering us on the entire way.
"I'm very sad I won't set foot on the Revenge again with my friends, some of whom have become close to family. But I couldn't be more grateful for being allowed to captain the damn thing in the first place.
"Our Flag Means Us. Loving one another, pulling off some pretty weird and beautiful shit, and talking it through... as a crew."
Our Flag Means Death seasons 1-2 are available to stream on HBO Max in the US and BBC iPlayer in the UK.
