Stede and Ed are definitely starting Season 2 on the opposite ends of what was essentially a breakup at the close of Season 1. While a lovesick Stede is pining for Ed and just wants to be near him, Ed is, to put it lightly, on a rampage. He’s wielding tons of guns, crashing weddings (murdering everyone in sight in the process), and just generally causing problems for everybody; when Stede tries to tell someone Ed is “actually a good guy,” he’s told that the love of his life is a “madman.” We don’t know yet what happens when the two reunite, but it’ll definitely be explosive, to say the least.
The trailer also features snippets of a ton of high-seas action sequences with everything from swords to cannons to guns, Driver’s Anne Bonny apparently straddling a rather unwilling Stede, and sweet Stede “doing” his first-ever punch. The first season managed to balance a tricky tone as it veered from romance to action, and according to a behind-the-scenes report of the second season of “Our Flag Means Death,” the show’s brilliant tonal tightrope walk will continue.
