Taika Waititi is seemingly determined to make his mark on every streaming platform, from his directing and acting turns on Disney+’s The Mandalorian to his current deal with Netflix to make two Roald Dahl-inspired shows. The Thor: Ragnarok director can now add HBO Max to his growing list, thanks to a new period comedy that he’ll executive produce called Our Flag Means Death from creator and fellow EP David Jenkins. The growing streamer just ordered the show to series, which will begin production once Waititi has wrapped Thor: Love And Thunder. We kindly await your contribution to the inevitable Waititi Takeover, CBS All Access Paramount+.
