‘Flight of the Conchords’ Stars Not Returning for HBO Mini-Series

Jemaine Clement has cleared up rumors that he was heading back to the small screen for a Flight of the Concords revival, despite rumors.

New Zealand duo Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie wrapped a two-season run of their cult comedy series on America’s HBO network in 2009, and started making plans to turn the project into a movie.

But that has yet to take off, and rumors started after Clement recently revealed that bosses at HBO have commissioned a new four-episode series, which will feature Clement and frequent Conchords director Taika Waititi, but is not supposed to be a Flight of the Concords reunion.

Clement tells The Guardian he has other big plans for Flight of the Conchords, revealing, “Bret, (director) James (Bobin) and me, we all want to do a musical. It would be good to do something all together… I miss playing Flight of the Conchords gigs.”

He cleared up the statement today, tweeting:

Before this rumour gets out of hand – we are not working on a 4 ep Conchords show for hbo… https://t.co/q1607H5vg8

I am working on another idea with them though, hence the mix-up.
