Flight of the Conchords May Not Return for Third Season

Emmy nominated Flight of the Conchords co-star Jemaine Clement has been frank lately in discussing the New Zealand duo’s future with the show, telling Reuters “it very likely might not” return for a third season due to its strenuous work demands.

“You go through this phase, or several phases, where you want to do this thing,” Clement told Paste in a recent interview. “You do it for sort of a long time and you’re exposed to it too much, and then you hate it more than anything. And then eventually you get bored, then you have a few ideas, and then you do it again. I still think we’re in the hating-that-idea phase. We might do something. We haven’t really decided if we’re doing any more things. It could go either way, I think.”

Clement’s time has become all the more precious with his breakthrough into the film world, his most recent role being the vain sci-fi author in Gentlemen Broncos. Before making any big decisions about the HBO series, Clement said he would have to discuss matters with co-star Bret McKenzie and Conchords director James Robin.

Clement stated that “within a month I think there will probably be an HBO press release to say either way if we’re going to keep working on it.”
