The Our Flag Means Death season 2 finale leaves our merry crew in a nice spot: Sure, there’s some British Navy to hunt, but that’s an evergreen truth for pirates everywhere. And in the meantime, Lucius (Nathan Foad) and Black Pete (Matthew Maher) got married, with Zheng (Ruibo Qian) and the crew sailing off into the sunset looking content (and surprisingly functional, all things considered). Izzy (Con O’Neill) dies [sob] but does get to finally share a sweet moment with Blackbeard (Taika Waititi). Stede (Rhys Darby) and Blackbeard stay behind, excitedly settling into their new home together just nearby where they buried Izzy. It’s all very tender and warm-hearted, complete with Ed and Stede running towards each other on the beach for their reunion and confession of love.
Of course, that’s not to say there couldn’t be a season 3 — there’s still room to grow, and maybe another wedding, who knows! Here’s everything we know about Our Flag Means Death and it’s possible upcoming season:
We don’t know yet! To be fair, it might be a while: The season 2 renewal came months after the first season ended, even with a very diligent fan campaign. There’s a sense that the show got renewed by the skin of its teeth, and season 3 might be no different.

Also unclear: It took more than a year for Our Flag Means Death to get a date announcement after the show was greenlit for a second season. With no official renewal and an ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, it’s possible that even if a season 3 is confirmed, we might not actually see it until 2025 at the earliest.
It seems like season 3 would pick up where the second season leaves off: with Zhang and the crew hunting down Ricky Barnes (Erroll Shand) to get revenge for him blowing up all their ships, briefly imprisoning the pirates, and killing Izzy.
But this isn’t it for Stede and Ed’s tumultuous love story, either. Showrunner David Jenkins has told Polygon he envisions Our Flag as a three-season show. And he sees the arc of Stede and Ed’s relationship as a major guiding force for that:
The point of the first season to me is that these two people are learning what love is for them. In the last episode, Stede’s ex-wife tells him what love is, and then he’s like [perky Stede Bonnet impression] “Oh! Then I’m going back!” And then Blackbeard is like [Blackbeard impression, grumbling sulky noises]. In the last episode, he’s dealing with the fact that he even

The artificial intelligence (AI) wave has swept the world, with nearly every sector adopting this technology. Over the last few months, we've seen several use cases of AI in fields such as education, finance, healthcare and even agriculture. While this technology is proving its mettle in some areas by allowing to get the work done more efficiently, it has also led to a series of issues pertaining to false information and hallucinations. While world governments are drafting regulations around this technology, it is still being used widely, leading to discriminatory results.
