Our Flag Means Death season 2 will explore the aftermath of Stede’s betrayal

Our Flag Means Death season 1 ended on a heartbreaking cliffhanger: Stede and Ed finally confess their feelings for each other, but then Stede decides to return to his wife and kids. Stede’s decision is a huge blow to Ed, who takes Stede’s ship the Revenge, abandons most of Stede’s crew on a deserted island, and takes on his Blackbeard persona again.

Series creator David Jenkins explained to Entertainment Weekly that season 2 will explore the fallout from Stede and Ed’s parting. “It’s interesting to see Stede have to figure out how to reapproach this guy that he really hurt,” Jenkins said. “That’s everybody who’s ever been in a relationship where they had to repair it and apologize to their partner and try to figure out a way forward. And then [we’ll] see what happened to Blackbeard in the wake of his heartbreak.”

With episodes being only about half an hour long, fans are lucky to get bigger chunks of Stede and Ed’s story. Our Flag Means Death season 2 is now streaming on Max!
