If you’ve been clamoring for news about HBO Max’s Our Flag Means Death season 2, your wait is finally over. According to recent reports, the series is set to resume production and begin airing its sophomore season in the near future.
Samba Schutte, the lead of the series, has announced on Instagram that filming for season two of the historical pirate comedy has wrapped up.
Schutte’s post on Instagram is very brief, with only a photo of a clapperboard that says “Take 1” and “That’s a wrap,” followed by the name of the comedy series. Underneath the photo is a message from Schutte thanking the cast and crew for their hard work.
The caption reads:
“Absolute gratitude, honor, joy and love for the sweetest crew and the greatest cast. Oh the things to come. @dvidjenkins @taikawaititi @rhysiedarby ~ thank you.”
