Earlier this year, we learned that Taika Waititi had a new pirate comedy in the works over at HBO Max. And now, he’s adding two familiar comedic voices into the mix.

Leslie Jones and Nat Faxon have joined the cast of Our Flag Means Death. The show, which was David Jenkins, Garrett Basch, and Dan Halsted, “is based loosely on the true adventures of Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby), a pampered aristocrat who abandoned his life of privilege to become a pirate.” Additional cast members include Ewen Bremmer, David Fane, Nathan Foad, Joel Fry, Samson Kayo, Guz Khan, Rory Kinnear, Matt Maher, Kristian Nairn, Con O’Neill and Vico Ortiz.

Waititi will be playing the notorious pirate Blackbeard in the series. No word yet on who Jones and Faxon will respectively be playing.
