What Time Will ‘Our Flag Means Death’ Premiere on HBO Max?

Not many people think of pirates as silly, what with all of the pillaging and plundering they’re known to do. But then again, David Jenkins and Taika Waititi aren’t most people. This week marks the premiere of HBO Max’s latest original as well as the first pirate comedy we’ve seen in ages, Our Flag Means Death. And yes, it’s just as ridiculous as it sounds.

Our Flag Means Death follows the misadventures of Captain Stebe Bonnet (Rhys Darby) and his crew. All that Captain Stebe wants to do is make all that looting and murder a bit more civilized. It’s a crazy mission that very well may cost him his head. Wondering how you can watch this bloody good time? We have you covered.

There certainly is. Check it out above, but be warned. Any respect you once had for pirates is about to disappear.

Who’s in the Cast of Our Flag Means Death?

With Taika Waititi as an executive producer, you know this one is going to be packed with truly excellent lesser known actors. Our Flag Means Death stars Rhys Darby (Flight of the Concords, What We Do in the Shadows) as Stede Bonnet, a proper gentleman who gives up his life of luxury to become a pirate in a misguided attempt to prove his masculinity. Later in the season, Waititi will join to star as the infamous pirate Blackbeard. This comedy also stars Kristian Nairn (Game of Thrones) as Wee John Feeney, Nathan Foad (Bloods) as Lucius, Samson Kayo (Timewasters) as Oluwande, Rory Kinnear (the James Bond franchise) as Captain Nigel Badminton and Chauncey Badminton, and Vico Ortiz (The Sex Lives of College Girls) as Bonifacia.

But wait, there’s more. This HBO Max comedy will also guest star several big names including Leslie Jones, Fred Armisen, Kristen Schaal, Nick Kroll, and Nat Faxon. Grab your rum and practice those sea shanties. Things are about to get wild.
