\"Taika<\/img><\/p>\n

Thor: Ragnarok<\/em>\u00a0and The Hunt for the Wilderpeople<\/em> director Taika Waititi<\/strong> will hit the high seas to direct and executive produce Our Flag Means Death<\/strong><\/em>, a pirate series for HBO Max. Honestly, they had me at \u201cTaika Waititi\u201d and \u201cpirates,\u201d but this show is also going to be loosely based on a fascinating real-life story, which is just icing on the cake. Get the details below.<\/span><\/p>\n

HBO Max announced in a press release that a Taika Waititi pirate series is in the works. The filmmaker will direct the pilot and executive produce Our Flag Means Death<\/em>, which is created by showrunner David Jenkins<\/strong> (People of Earth<\/em>) and executive produced by Garrett Basch<\/strong> (The Night Of, What We Do in the Shadows<\/em>)\u00a0and Dan Halsted<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The show will be a period tale that\u2019s \u201cloosely based on the true adventures of Stede Bonnet, a pampered aristocrat who abandoned his life of privilege to become a pirate.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019d never heard of Bonnet before, but his story is pretty wild: born in Barbados, he was an educated and wealthy landowner who abandoned his own children in order to become a pirate, despite having no experience on the open seas. Instead of stealing or overthrowing a ship, as was the traditional manner through which pirate captains gained their ships, he used his wealth to have a new vessel constructed to his specifications, which he called the Revenge<\/em>. At one point he teamed up with Blackbeard, with the two raiding several ships in the Caribbean and off the East Coast of the United States, but they ultimately had a falling out, leaving Bonnet chasing Blackbeard across the seas in an attempt to exact revenge. I won\u2019t spoil what happ<\/a>ened in real life since this story is likely not familiar to you either, but since this show is only \u201cloosely\u201d based on Bonnet\u2019s life, I suspect plenty of liberties will be taken with this version of the story.<\/p>\n

\u201cA series concept like this jumps off the page and you can instantly envision every moment,\u201d\u00a0said Sarah Aubrey<\/strong>, HBO Max\u2019s head of original content. \u201cDavid and Taika\u2019s unique take on Bonnet\u2019s rollicking misadventures on the high seas are sure to thrill and delight audiences everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Production on the first episode is said to get underway after Waititi finishes work on the upcoming Marvel Studios sequel,\u00a0Thor: Love and Thunder<\/em>.<\/p>\n
