Here's what's new on HBO Max this month.
Our Flag Means Death (streaming weekly)
"Our Flag Means Death" is based loosely upon the real life of Stede Bonnet, a wealthy aristocrat who gave up everything to become a pirate captain. After striking up an unlikely friendship with the iconic Captain Blackbeard, Bonnet and his newbie crew set sail towards many misadventures across the Seven Seas.
Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby star in this swashbuckling new comedy series alongside a star-studded ensemble cast which includes Fred Armisen, Leslie Jones, Kristen Schaal, Nick Kroll and Will Arnett.

Minx (March 17)
Starring Jake Johnson and Ophelia Lovibond, "Minx" takes us back to the 1970s and follows Joyce, a second-wave feminist who dreams of publishing a radical feminist magazine called "The Matriarchy Awakens." When she can't find a traditional publisher, Joyce is forced to team up with Doug, a porn industry mogul and the last person she'd choose to partner up with. Together, the pair set out to rebrand "The Matriarchy Awakens" as the first erotic magazine for women.
Starstruck (season two, March 24)
After closing out its first season on a swoon-worthy cliffhanger, "Starstruck" is back for season two. Starring Rose Matafeo and Nikesh Patel, "Starstruck" follows the somewhat lost 20-something Jessie, who begins an almost-relationship with a movie star after a one night stand. Season two of the show will pick up right where it last left us: with Jessie choosing not to make some big life changes for Tom. Ultimately, this grand gesture will not solve all of the odd couple's problems, as you can see from the trailer. The new season of "Starstruck" arrives on HBO Max March 24.
