In anticipation of their Live in London HBO special, the Flight of the Conchords gave a preview of what’s to come via a performance of their yet-to-be-released song Father & Son on last night’s Colbert.
Perhaps, this is FOTC’s answer to the legendary Cat’s in the Cradle and how that also might go awry? Watch and enjoy it here.
Very soon, Bret and Jemaine will back in your lives via an entire concert special recorded live in London to come out on HBO.
From the looks of it, October 6th, Live in London’s premiere date will be a nice day.
A big dose of the Flight of the Conchords might be a great thing to serve folks right now.
Luckily, an entire special, Flight of the Conchords: Live at the London Apollo is arriving at the beginning of October on HBO.
We’ll let Bret and Jemaine take it from here.
The Flight Of The Conchords Will Be Returning to HBO in the Form of a Comedy Special
This special will actually have Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement perform live in front of a big crowd in the UK that will air in May.
Details beyond that are sparse, but we can only hope that Kristen Schaal and Rhys Darby make some cameos as well.

The project is in infant stages, but the fact that it’s in stages at all is hope that we’ll all get to see the Flight of the Conchords once again.
Both Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, best known as the musical comedy duo Flight of the Conchords, are at work on developing a feature length project centered around the Flight of the Conchords.
As we said before, there isn’t anyone else involved at this point, but we think it would be a big opportunity missed by anyone who passed on this and didn’t make sure that it not only got greenlit and made, but fast tracked as well.

There is talk between Jemaine and Bret for The Flight of The Conchords to go on tour later this year. We hope this comes to fruition as they were both magical during their run for Funny or Die’s first Oddball Festival Comedy Tour.
Also, it would be the perfect thing to follow up the other major comedy tour this year from Weird Al Yankovic scheduled to end later this year.

Flight of the Conchords’ Bret and Jemaine might be back at it again and you might be able, in the same turn, stop holding your breath.
According to a recent interview with Jemaine Clement, HBO has commissioned four episodes of a new comedy from Jemaine. It’s unclear if it’s going to stem from the world of the series of Flight of the Conchords or if it’s going to be something different, hopefully still with delightfully funny tunes and jams.
Whatever it ends up being, we’re glad that Clement is up to something that we’ll be able to readily watch in the States and we hope it makes to HBO soon.
Flight of the Conchords’ Bret McKenzie Developing Animated Series for Fox
…and Fox is continuing to kill it with their comedy development slate, both animated and live action.
We really hope this makes it to series ASAP for both the sake of Fox and Bret McKenzie being back on American television.
