Does OFMD Ending Twist Means There Will Be No Season 3?

Summary

• The second season ended with Blackbeard and Stede deciding to stay together and refusing to sail the seas as pirates.
• Because of the happy ending, fans began to worry that Max might end the show in the coming weeks, but it looks like the show's creators still have an idea for Season 3.

Without a doubt, Max's Our Flag Means Death is one of the most popular and beloved comedy series on the air right now, as the feel-good tale of a ragtag crew of LGBTQ+ pirates proved to be just the comfort piece we all needed after those rough pandemic years.

Still, fans were shocked to find that the recently concluded Season 2 was even better than the first outing, as all the characters, including Taika Waititi's Blackbeard, became even more compelling and complex.

However, the Season 2 finale proved to be a huge problem for the show's fandom, as the endearing but confusing ending left people wondering if they would ever see Waititi and Darby as pirates again. Here's why.

The perfect finale

At the start of Season 2, Blackbeard was a total mess of a man, having broken up with his lover Stede Bonnet and embarked on a journey of self-destruction and loathing. However, after his own crew mutinied against him and left him to die on a desert island, Blackbeard finally managed to pull himself together and reunite with Stede in the last episodes.

The season ended with the two of them opening their own inn on a local island and refusing to sail the seas as pirates anymore. While fans were happy to see Blackbeard and Stede spend more time together, they were also confused as to where the show would go in a possible Season 3.

Last outing?

With the season ending on such a happy note, fans began to wonder if the OFMD would end for good, as the sight of Blackbeard and Stede living a loving, quiet life together is just too good to spoil with another season full of action and betrayal.

However, it looks like Season 3 will happen after all, as series creator David Jenkins recently hinted that he designed Our Flag Means Death as a three-season show, which quickly calmed fans down.

Let's hope that the writers don't try to separate Blackbeard and Stede again in the possible third chapter of the pirate story.
