Here's everything fans can expect from the new season.

Max struck gold last year with its quirky pirate show Our Flag Means Death. Despite its aggressive title, the series about a ragtag crew of LGBTQ+ pirates quickly became the best feel-good show for fans to binge-watch. With the first season receiving overwhelming praise from fans and critics alike, Max didn't hesitate to renew the show for a second run, even adding Minnie Driver to the cast to complement Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby's performances.

However, the cryptic first trailer for the new season didn't reveal much about the upcoming installment's storylines, leading fans to begin making predictions about what to expect in Season 2.

Here are five predictions for OFMD's second outing:

Blackbeard's Crew Mutinies

Despite Taika Waititi's wonderful performance as Blackbeard, his character began to behave rather erratically towards the end of the first season, appearing more like a villain than a beloved hero. Consequently, fans are convinced that his crew will mutiny against him, forcing him to reconsider his ways.

The Swede Marrying the Spanish Jackie

The show's most beloved couple is expected to take their relationship to the next level in the upcoming season, and ending the season with Swede and Jackie's wedding seems like the best way to make fans happy.

Ed and Stede Getting Back Together

Although Blackbeard and Stede had a major falling out in the last season's final episode, the love between the two clearly endures. Fans are confident that they will not even speak to each other for the majority of the upcoming season, but by the end, they will rekindle their romance. Fingers crossed!

Lucius Surviving

While most fans believe that Lucius did not survive after being pushed off the ship by Blackbeard, others hope the pirate will survive by hiding within the ship's walls or being washed ashore on a nearby island. Justice for Lucius!

Olu and Jim's Break-up

Even though OFMD is a feel-good show, some drama is expected in the new season, and fans are heartbreakingly certain that a beloved couple, Olu and Jim, will break up in the upcoming episodes, possibly even in the final episode of Season 2.

Our Flag Means Death Season 2 will premiere on Max on October 5, 2023.
