Its second season was only just released last October.

The show's cancellation was announced in an official statement by a spokesperson at Max.
“While Max will not be moving forward with a third season of Our Flag Means Death, we are so proud of the joyous, hilarious, and heartfelt stories that creator David Jenkins, Taika Waititi, Rhys Darby, Garrett Basch, Dan Halsted, Adam Stein, Antoine Douaihy, and the entire superb cast and crew brought to life,” the statement read.
It continued: “We also thank the dedicated fans who embraced these stories and built a gorgeous, inclusive community surrounding the show.”
Additional cast members included Samson Kayo, Vico Ortiz, Ewen Bremner, Joel Fry, Matthew Maher, Kristian Nairn, Con O'Neill, David Dane, Samba Schutte, Nat Faxon, and Leslie Jones.
Talks of a potential third season had been shared prior to the show's cancellation, as well as some talks of how it was already being planned to end in its now cancelled third outing.

Series creator David Jenkins told Variety prior to the cancellation: “I love things in threes, the first act, second act, third act structure is so satisfying when it is done well”.
He added: “You don't overstay your welcome.”
He continued: “I think this world of the show is a big world, and if the third season is successful, we could go on in a different way.”
“But I think for the story of Stede and Ed, that is a three-season story.”
Despite wanting to tell Darby's character's story in a “three-season story”, Our Flag Means Death will only ever see two seasons – that can both currently be watched on the streamer.
