The plot, according to its logline, is: “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.” After the first three episodes of “Our Flag Means Death” drop on March 3, three more will premiere on March 10, and (to keep us on our toes) two each week on March 17 and March 24.Waititi, who won the adapted screenplay Oscar at the 2020 Academy Awards for “Jojo Rabbit,” directed the “Our Flag Means Death” pilot, as well as co-starring in it and executive producing.

He shot the pilot after he finished production on Marvel’s “Thor: Love and Thunder,” the followup of his “Thor: Ragnarok” in 2017, which is set to be released this summer.
