Flight of the Conchords, the acclaimed New Zealand sitcom will not be returning to the airwaves for a third series.
The HBO series has been mothballed after months of speculation over whether the series co-creaters, Brett McKenzie, Jermain Clements and James Bodin.
McKenzie and Clements announced the news on their blog earlier today: "We've noticed the less we say about the future of the show, the more people want to talk about it," they wrote. "So in an effort to reverse this trend we are today announcing that we won't be returning for a third season.
'We're very proud of the two seasons we made, and we like the way the show ended." But we don't like that it's ending at all!
The series is considered one of the most innovative comedy sitcoms of the last decade and has won fans across the world. The 22 episodes followed the life of two Kiwi musicians, played by McKenzie and Clement, who try to achieve success with their band in New York.
The show helped boost the emergence of musical comedy as a sub-genre of comedy itself.Of course all good series come to an end, however there is still talk of a Flight of the Conchords movie.
