It's been nearly 20 years since Flight of the Conchords premiered on HBO.
The American comedy series certainly struck a "chord" with fans at the time, given it was soon renewed for a second season. But that was all, at least in terms of the musical duo's small-screen time together.
Award-winning New Zealand musicians Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement make up Flight of the Conchords and play fictionalized versions of themselves on the cult-classic HBO sitcom, as fans are well aware.
It's that loyal fanbase that has certainly motivated the pair to continue performing together under the iconic band name in the years since the show's 2009 cancellation, including at this year's Netflix Is a Joke Fest on May 10.
“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 third season,” McKenzie, 49, Clement, 52, and co-creator James Bobin had written on their website to reveal the show's conclusion, per Billboard. “We’re very proud of the two seasons we made, and we like the way the show ended.”
Billboard also noted that the show's unique combination of storyline and original songs, plus the fact that the three co-creators had continued to live in their native New Zealand, were factors that had made it difficult to produce.
The series received 10 Emmy nominations over the course of its two seasons, with the second earning a best comedy series Emmy nod. Here's the official synopsis offered by Rotten Tomatoes, where Flight of the Conchords holds an impressive 94% average critics rating:
"Cutting edge musical comics Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement travel from their native New Zealand to New York in search of love and professional success, both of which prove elusive, in this semi-improvised comedy series."
