The 'Flight of the Conchords' is officially no more
There will be no third season of HBO's Emmy nominated "Flight of the Conchords."
Ending much speculation, stars Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, plus series co-creator James Bobin made the following statement on the group's website:
"[W]e've noticed the less we say about the future of the show, the more people want to talk about it, so in an effort to reverse this trend we are today announcing that we won’t be returning for a 3rd season. We’re very proud of the two seasons we made and we like the way the show ended. We’d like to thank everyone who helped make the show and also everyone who watched it. While the characters Bret and Jemaine will no longer be around, the real Bret and Jemaine will continue to exist."
In its second season, "Flight of the Conchords" earned six Emmy nominations, including one for Outstanding Comedy Series and nods for directing, writing and for Clement as lead actor.
