Our Flag Means Death Season 2 Casting Has All the Fans Saying One Thing
The show is back with a surprise.
Max's Our Flag Means Death became one of the most unlikely hits of 2022. The story of a group of LGBTQ+ pirates was named the most cozy and feel-good show of last year, which is no surprise considering it was produced by Taika Waititi himself.
However, after the series was renewed for a second season, the streaming service was not in a hurry to reveal any news about production or a possible release date. As a result, many fans thought that the show might have been canceled or postponed due to the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
But in fact, it looks like the OFMD pirates are doing better than ever, as Max finally confirmed that Season 2 will premiere this October and shared a few images from the long-awaited second installment. And while those images gave fans plenty of topics for discussion, one particular casting choice managed to capture everyone's attention — Minnie Driver will star in the new season as Anne Bonny.
Yes, the fan-favorite actress joined the cast of Our Flag Means Death to play the legendary pirate, and fans are already losing their minds over the casting. People say Driver is simply the perfect choice of actress to join OFMD, considering how quirky her brand of comedy has always been.
Fans are happy to see such a great performer signing up to star in the show, and the fact that Max invited Driver to join the project means the producers are confident in the success of Season 2. Also, people believe that the series needed a strong female character from the beginning, so the decision to introduce Anne Bonny in the upcoming season is welcomed by the fandom.
Most of all, fans were shocked at how Max's producers managed to keep Driver's casting a secret for so long, especially considering that filming wrapped in 2022. Thanks to this tactic, people were truly stunned by the sudden reveal, which made the wait for the second season premiere all the more exciting.
'Very impressed that they managed to hide Minnie Driver as Anne Bonney from the fandom until now. Also, I'm totally not at all freaking out about these at work, not at all,' a fan said.
The official release date has not yet been confirmed by Max.
