Our Flag Means Death is the latest series collaboration between Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby, who previously worked together on Conchords, What We Do in the Shadows and Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Waititi will also direct the premiere episode of the series, while also executive producing it.

The Flight of the Conchords star told Entertainment Weekly that despite his years of friendship with Waititi, the duo hadn't really acted together before.

“So when he came aboard as [Blackbeard], all hell broke loose because no one's telling him what to do. Now [we're co-stars] and he's not capable of telling me what to do!" said Darby. "They are like an old married couple in certain ways," added showrunner David Jenkins, according to Entertainment Weekly.

“If a scene isn't quite working, Taika will be able to grumble about Rhys, and vice versa, in the way that only friends can. And then when it is popping, they know how to get the best out of each other. There's a generosity and a real sweetness between them that you wouldn't get if you weren't using those two friends.” said Jenkins.

With Rhys Darby leading the series alongside producer Taika Waititi, the star-studded cast also includes Leslie Jones, Fred Armisen, Kristian Nairn, and Nathan Foad.
