‘Flight Of The Conchords’ Teaser Announces Live Special Coming To HBO In October
It’s finally business time again.
You might remember back in January when news broke thatFlight of the Conchordswould be coming back to HBO. The titular New Zealand folk music and comedy duo portrayed byJemaine ClementandBret McKenziehave been on tour, and part of that tour was going toinclude a live concert specialthat would air on the cable network in May. However, the tour was postponed a bit when McKenziesustained a hand injury, so the special was pushed back too. But now everything is on schedule, and HBO has announced the live special is coming in October with the perfect teaser.

The teaser is pretty straightforward, with McKenzie and Clement announcing the special’s arrival on October 6 this fall. It doesn’t really give us an idea what to expect as far as content is concerned. Since it’s a live concert special, I’m hoping it will feature a blend of performances from the actual concert from across the pond and some recorded sketches. After all, we love Bret and Jemaine, but surely we need to seeRhys Darbyback as band manager Murray Hewitt, and maybe evenKristen Schaalas stalker fan Mel,Arj Barkeras Dave andEugene Mirmanas, well, Eugene.
The big question is how this live special will pick up after the end ofFlight of the Conchords. The second and final season took the duo back to their home in New Zealand, so will they still be there? Or will they be heading back to the United States? Or maybe they’ll actually be in London? I suppose it depends on whether this live concert special actually has any narrative to it that would continue the story of the characters on the show.
It’s been nearly 10 years sinceFlight of the Conchordsconcluded its hilarious but short two-season run on HBO. As you’re able to see, Clement and McKenzie have a little gray in their hair now, showing that time has passed. But the two aren’t missing a beat when it comes to their comedic timing and awkward banter, and I can’t wait to see what this live special from the London Apollo brings to the table.
