What if What We Do within the Shadows was about swashbucklers on the excessive seas somewhat than vampires on Staten Island? We’re getting an analogous sense of wry humor from Taika Waititi’s subsequent TV venture: pirate comedy Our Flag Means Death, starring Rhys Darby as “gentleman pirate” Stede Bonnet and Waititi himself as Blackbeard. A brand-new trailer has arrived and we’re extra excited than ever to look at this one.
“He kills with… kindness!”
This Max Original hails not simply from Oscar winner Waititi, who’s each co-star and producer right here, but in addition creator and showrunner David Jenkins, whose earlier credit embrace the very humorous alien-abduction comedy People of Earth. Here’s the official description of Our Flag Means Death: “The unique new comedy is (very) loosely based on the true adventures of 18th century would-be pirate, Stede Bonnet, played by Rhys Darby. After trading in the seemingly charmed life of a gentleman for one of a swashbuckling buccaneer, Stede becomes captain of the pirate ship Revenge. Struggling to earn the respect of his potentially mutinous crew, Stede’s fortunes change after a fateful run-in with the infamous Captain Blackbeard, played by Waititi. Stede and crew attempt to get their ship together and survive life on the high seas.”
As if Darby and Waititi weren’t sufficient to get you to look at, the remainder of the ensemble solid consists of Nathan Foad, Samson Kayo (Truth Seekers), Vico Ortiz, Ewen Bremner, Joel Fry, Matt Maher, Kristian Nairn (Game of Thrones), Con O’Neill, Guz Khan, David Fane, Rory Kinnear, Samba Schutte, Nat Faxon, Fred Armisen, and Leslie Jones.
The HBO Max present will run 10 episodes whole; the primary three will arrive March 3, adopted by three extra on March 10, then two every on March 17 and 24.
