Hi crew! It’s the last weekend of June and Pride Month, we hope you had a very special one. We had a few leaks and hints this week in the Our Flag Means Death fandom – let’s walk you through it!
June 18
OFMD Post-Production Supervisor Nicky Spencer marked their job as being done on LinkedIn! We can hopefully assume that post-production is finally done!? That would mean that all that’s left is to possibly hire a firm to create a trailer…
June 19
We wished all the Black folx in the OFMD fandom a very happy Juneteenth, and invited them to comment on our post so fans could support them – go check them out! (Alex did!)
Amazon Prime posted a new video for Pride – and Ed appears at 0:13! Some were confused by OFMD appearing in an Amazon video, but it appears that Max is a partner of Amazon’s, and you can subscribe to Max via Prime.
June 20
Samson celebrated a birthday!
June 21
Well, the summer equinox came and went, and fan’s “summer” theory didn’t lead to a trailer that day. Oh well – maybe “summer” generally??
Momentus announced another class with OFMD cast – this time sword-fighting lessons with Vico! Some may remember, Vico mentioned in an interview that they are an internationally-ranked fencing champion, so this class is probably going to be a-mazing. They also have some merch on sale in connection with their event!
June 22
David Jenkins gave us some S2 crumbs…!
⚠️ S2 Spoilers ⚠️
Check out the very last photo in this post…
There’s some good discussion here on Twitter as to what that might be! (The user very kindly marked the images as “sensitive,” so it can’t be embedded here.)
June 23
Actor Sagan Chen posted an Instagram story about a Max ad in New York City – featuring Vico! We absolutely love this for Vico, but we’re also excited Max is advertising OFMD to the general public in such a big way.
Max Nordic also gave a shoutout to OFMD for Midsummer:

Then OFMD Twitter exploded with a leak of Taika on set…
⚠️ Slight S2 Spoilers ⚠️
Rita posted a reel to Instagram that inexplicably contained a couple seconds of Taika in full costume on the set of S2?? We’re not really sure what he’s doing in the video, but we’re very grateful to Rita.
Here’s a photo of the clip:
There was tons of great discussion on Twitter:
