Another kick in the kishkas for HBO as their popular and quirky series, "Flight of the Conchords" will likely not return after the second season.
British music magazine Q interviewed newlywed Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie who told the magazine that season two of "Flight of the Conchords" is likely to be the last on HBO.
The premiere series aired in the United States, Britain, Australia and New Zealand, but the guys said they were struggling with "a difficult second series" during an interview for Q.
"We've got a lot of half-songs," said Clement. "We've got an album's worth of beginnings of songs." McKenzie revealed this series of 10 new episodes, would likely be the last. "The second series seems to me like it would be a good end to the show. I feel like another 10... that will be enough."
"I think having a TV show helps fill a big venue," Clement said. "We have seen how powerful TV can be."
The Kiwi pair are now based in Los Angeles where they have been performing to sell-out audiences and even SRO crowds at Indie favorite Amoeba Music record store on Sunset.
If the sitcom finishes after this run, it will find itself in similar company on HBO with the critical hit, Bruno Heller's "Rome" and Ricky Gervais' "Extras" which ended leaving fans wanting much more.
