One year ‘Flight of the Conchords’s may take off soon
Saturday, August 22nd, 2009The New Zealand comedy duo Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie have made their mind to take one year break before starting the third series of the multi award winning TV show ‘Flight of the Conchords’. This year, the show is nominated in Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series (for the episode ‘The Tough Brets’), Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Jemaine Clement), Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics (for the song ‘Carol Brown’), Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half Hour) and Animation, and Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series (for the episode ‘Prime Minister’). My best wishes are with Jemaine Clement (my favorite).
HBO executives have already shown their interest in producing the third series of Flight of the Conchords. “When they’re ready, we’re ready… they have the added challenge of writing an album … we’re waiting for them to tell us they’re ready” was said by Co-president Richard Plepler and Programming head Michael Lombardo says, “We’ve told them we’re ready to go for a third season.”.
Actor Rhys Darby, who is their band’s manger in ‘Flight of the Conchords’ said, “There’s been orders for another season but I know the guys have a British mentality where you create something, you finish it and move on. We’re being pulled different ways. Even if we do go on, there are different options there. Do we do a Christmas special, or a film or even turn it into a stage show and tour the world with it? It’s still a full on ‘who knows?’ scenario!” he concluded, “I’m open to whatever Bret and Jemaine want, it’s their baby and I’m just along for the ride. I know they’re going to take a year off, but there’s already a bit of pressure already from people saying ‘how can you end this thing now?’ There’s no decision made.”
I want them to shoot third series as soon as possible but it completely depends upon them when they will come back to begin next series. Until then let us take a ride of ‘Flight of the Conchords’ episodes and fly higher and higher in their comedy jet.
