December 10th

Bret, Jemaine and James (co-creator/director) said “we’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.

    I’m not cryin, no I’m not cryin! It’s just bin rainin on my face!

    It’s a sad thing that you won’t be able to make season 3 but also can understand it. You’ll always have your faithful following and I’m sure we all look forward to seeing what all of you do in your ever growing careers:)

    All the best, Jemaine, Bret and talented crew.
    <3 Your Canadian Fan;)

    I’m sorry that Conchords won’t be back. There was some gold in the second season. Murry’s opera thing in the first episode. That Lord of the Rings spoof – “We’ll never make it . . . we made it!” Classic stuff. This was one of the shows I really looked forward to.

  4. No

    I met an australian two weeks ago.
    He was a fan from flight of the conchords…

    You selfish bass turds! I hate you all for not making a season three. I burned my season 1 and 2 DVDs because of this announcement.

    Thanks for wasting two seasons of my life! Arseholes!

    p.s. USA kicks all other countries asses, including New Zealand’s. Canada is OK though.

    • Louie

      Agreed, except for the Canada part. ;)

    • two was enough, don’t you think it’s a smart move to end it before it started getting boring. i am from new zealand and i love the conchords but i think it’s for the best.

  6. Tom Mayo

    Loved the show, sorry to see it go. Wish you all well!

  7. Micheal

    You’ve got to be kidding me. Is this an effort to mix it up or are they for real? Tres mal!

    Canada loves FOTC. Don’t go, please don’t go!

  8. David

    Thanks for making me laugh and smile so much. I am looking forward to seeing whatever comes out of your amazing creative talent next!

  9. Sugar

    I’ll miss Ginger Balls the most.

  10. jackie moon

    this is depressin me and my boyfriend just watch the seasons over and over again. just make a third dammit!
    i need some more rhymenoceros!!

  11. Louie

    2 Seasons? That’s it!? Come on guys, really? This is a joke, right? Please say it’s a joke. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE… oh, hahaha…funny. Ok, you got me. The show is “canceled”… or is it? (See you next season ;)

  12. Genevieve

    Aw. I am so sad. I miss tuning into you guys every week.

    Pretty please will you make another (or a few) seasons?

    Oh ya. And yes, CANADA does Heart you, lots and lots.

    Come back, k?

    Thanks :D

  13. Jonathan

    This is terrible news!

    Make a season 3 PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  14. Jeannine

    i love you guys so, so much. i cried when i read this.

  15. carol

    where will I get my knitted sweater ideas from now!

  16. Phil

    This sucks, as FOTC was one of the best series ever.

    HOWEVER, to all of you that are freaking out about the show ending, I challeng YOU to write an album’s worth of songs (and play them) and come up with hilarious dialogue and original situations for 10 half-hour episodes with just you and one other friend.

    To anyone that thinks Bret and Jemaine are selfish because they’re EXHAUSTED and would rather get out while they’re still ahead instead of burning out, I ask you WHO is selfish? Give these guys a break. They brought you all 2 seasons of golden moments. You should be thankful for even that – where the fuck do you get your sense of entitlement?

    Bret & Jemaine: Sad to see you go, but THANK YOU! Hopefully we might see a couple special episodes or a new album in the works some day. Take it easy!

    - p

  17. OH, NO! Say it isn’t so! We just found you 3 months ago and already blazed through all the episodes. There’s nothing left to ration. Nothing left to live for–unless you promise to go on a very extensive world tour!

  18. colleen martin

    why why why gpd oh whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  19. colleen martin

    why why why god oh whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  20. Jim

    Thanks for the laughs guys, just brilliant. Do hope you’ll change your minds or do a movie, the world needs more of the Conchords…

  21. WTFmate

    Dear internet,
    I’m sure the show not returning for a third season was not their idea. Don’t be so naive.

  22. Adam

    I just can’t believe it….I won’t believe it…..say its not so….

  23. bill

    :-)

  24. Rebecca !

  25. Batomano

    good luck from las vegas

  26. Cheyenne

    I’m so bummed to hear this! I just started watching the show, and I F&*king love it. I bought it on a whim at Target, and its so AWESOME!!!! I Love u Guys!!!!!

  27. Jon

    Sucks you guys won’t be back for season 3, I hope you find other outlets for your comedy, you’re AWESOME!

    p.s. why is it that on all of these message boards, some American Douchebag needs to insult other countries while praising their own, how insecure are you guys.

  28. Come back!!!!!!!! I don’t care about what you want, I simply need you… I BEG YOU… I’ll watch like 300 times the 3rd season, promise, I’ll pay twice as much for HBO, I’ll promise I pretend I like their “once-again, really” war mini series… it’s there anything I can do for you to come back? I could apply for New Zealand citizenship and take care of your pets over there while you’re shooting… I COULD COO A LASAGNA.. for 3… PLEASE SAVE ME!!!! I NEED YOU GUS.. DON’T….. NOOOOO……… no… no…. n…

  29. Bett

    Well, it is sad but true that all things must end, and I have to concede that after shows have been on HBO for awhile they tend to lose momentum. So often brilliant to start, but perhaps the corporate environment isn’t so good for talented people. So perhaps better to go out on a high note? And thanks for letting us know.

    Either way, guys, please keep us posted about your goings-on! And say hi to 1970s Ḍavid Bowie . . .

  30. Brandon Grötzinger

    Not only was Flight of the Conchords the the best and inovative show, there songs were really good! :D

    I miss you Conchords,

    Greetings from Amsterdam!

  31. h4nk!

    This show has made me Xenophobic, and as some kind of high ranking movie exec that controls the business or something, I will not hire any kiwi actors. In turn, the show will return for a third season in due time. Your welcome, Flight of the Conchords fan base. Thank you, self.

  32. Johanna

    So very, very sad. I have acutally cancelled my HBO subscription. I realized watching the same movies over and over without any FOTC just wasn’t worth it!

  33. J

    So it really is over? What a surprise! Bret and Jemaine have become too hip for their own hipster act. Bastards…

  34. Jeff

    NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  35. Pamela

    I’m so so so so sad that you guys aren’t comin back for a 3rd season!! I reference to the show with my friends on a day to day basis and blast the music in my car. I hope maybe in the future you guys will change your minds and bring it back but for now I’ll just watch the seasons over and over again and hopefully you guys will tour again in the US :)

  36. Grandpops

    No season 3?
    Losing the best show on TV hurts an old dude like me.
    I hope you BOTH have AUSTRALIAN girl friends (or WIVES!!!)

  37. Jeremy

    NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Will you do another season if i let you use my citizenship to get back in the states?!

  38. Todd D

    It would be a great thing to see the guys get good again in New Zealand, get their passports, and get back to the US, be good and funny for a while, and then do it again for a few more seasons. you guys can’t end on two seasons. Get back on HBO and get more gigs!

  39. Ryan

    My girlfriend and I are huge fans and we loved both series, thank you FOTC for giving us so much laughter and please don’t be a stranger; television will be a less funny world without you.

  40. Klaus

    Did any of you ever think, that maybe they are going to work on a CD first and surprise all of us by making a 3rd season off that CD like season 1? Both season 1 and 2 of the show were awesome squared! But season 1 was a little better imo. Just a thought…. We always have Demetri Martin for now….

  41. Purple Boots

    please come to Canada please!!!!!!

    Canada loves Flight of the Conchords!!!!!!

  42. Kelly Jawns

    Ughhhhh, so sad!!! :( I have been searching the internet every so often to find out if/when season 3 will begin. This ruined my day!!!
    But I am a hug fan and I hope to see you live someday. Good luck!

  43. Noooooo

    Noooooooo!!!!!!!!

  44. Alice

    I quite understand your decision of stopping there but I’m desperate all the same !

    Best regards from a French lover of yours !

  45. K_I_T

    3 is a magic number!

  46. HT

    PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU MAKE ANOTHER SEASON OMG I LIKE LIVE OFF THIS SHOW your band has got to be one of the only bands where I actually BUY their music please :( (cries) please come back AHHHHHHHHH

  47. Bowie

    Hello Bret its Bowie again I’m on my computer in space Bret, there has been a lot of talk about you stopping your tv show Bret you just gotta bring it back man, it would be freaky Bret.

  48. Jeopardy

    I see a Flight of The Conchords Movie in the future… and I don’t blame them for not doing a third season. That kind of comical genius takes time to perfect. Season two was definitely not as funny as the first. It would have continued to go downhill if they had done a third season

  49. Stephanie

    My boyfriend, my friends and myself love you guys and loved the show. We are all really sad that you guys won’t be making another season. We quote the show and listen to your songs all the time. I mean, I pretty much got HBO so I could watch your show (though HBO is a great channel regardless…just sayin’). I will miss seeing you guys and the other great cast members the show had too. The show was really a gem and I will love what there was but would have loved to see more.

  50. JoeyCypher

    I’m sad about no third season. Really sad. Have the albums and the DVD’s but i’ll never be able to see them live. Lasttime they came to cleveland it was $70 to see them live. PLease dont charge that much. I saw Tim and Eric live and MST3K live for $25 each.
