I smell love on the salty sea air alongside gunpowder, rum, and wedding cake icing! The Our Flag Means Death Season 2 teaser trailer sets sail this afternoon, with members of The Revenge charting a course for adventure on the high seas! Many of your favorite characters return from the original season with several new faces ready to smile a black-toothed grin for the cameras.

The new season of Our Flag Means Death begins with gentleman pirate Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby) and softhearted bad boy Blackbeard (Taika Waititi) ruefully separated after finally realizing their love for each other at the end of season one. It’s “going to be unexpected and surprising, but also very pleasurable and satisfying for those who like the show,” says executive producer Garrett Basch. It “doesn’t follow the expected route,” teases Con O’Neill, who plays Blackbeard’s enthusiastic enforcer, Izzy.

While Prince sets the mood, the Our Flag Means Death Season 2 teaser trailer finds Stede Bonnet sending a message in a bottle to Blackbeard, who is busy crashing a fancy wedding. The footage quickly plots a course for rough seas as violence breaks out, bringing characters across the spectrum to blows as Bonnet finds his backbone. This mayhem is merely a taste of what’s to come when the beloved pirate series returns to Max on October 5.

Many of your favorite cast members return, including Con O’Neil as Izzy, Vico Ortiz (Jim), Kristian Nairn (Wee John), Joel Fry (Frenchie), Matthew Maher (Black Pete), Leslie Jones (Spanish Jackie), Samson Kayo (Oluwande), Ewen Bremner (Nathaniel Buttons), Samba Schutte (Roach), and more. Also climbing aboard for the new season are Kiwi actors Madeleine Sami (The Breaker UppersDeadloch) and Anapela Polataivao (The Justice of Bunny KingThe Changeover).

Our Flag Means Death Season 2 introduces nearly 50 new sets, including the 30-acre forest behind the Kumeu Film Studio, Piha Beach, and the breathtaking shadowy sands of Bethells Beach. Jaw-dropping locales aren’t the only thing worth looking forward to. The new episodes boast inspiring costume design by Gypsy Taylor, with multiple looks for primary cast members. Speaking with Vanity Fair, Taylor says the costumes have a “Mad Max, ‘streets of New York’ feel,” says Taylor. “David Jenkins was keen to give the series a cool rock-and-roll vibe…so we had these rock-and-roll elements with an 18th-century twist.’’
