Flight of the Conchords Season 2 announced

HBO has renewed hit comedy Flight of the Conchords for a second season!

Starring the New Zealand music-comedy duo of Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, and co-created by James Bobin, Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie, Flight of the Conchords follows transplanted New Zealanders Jemaine and Bret, who live on New York City’s Lower East Side and split their time between seeking venues where they can perform and awkwardly courting women. Sometimes finding it easier to express themselves with music, they’re apt to break into song at a moment’s notice.

The 12-episode first season of Flight of the Conchords has sparked critical raves, with the New York Times calling the show “very funny” and “deliciously absurd.” Rolling Stone hails the series as “hilarious,” while the San Francisco Chronicle terms it “the funniest thing you’ve seen in ages,” as well as “brilliant,” and the Los Angeles Times notes that the show is “consistently funny.”

Flight of the Conchords’ EP “The Distant Future” was released by Sub Pop Records on Aug. 7. It includes “Business Time,” “If You’re Into It” and “Not Crying,” as well as live versions of “The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room” and “Robots.” A full-length Conchords album in Jan. 2008.

    you have no idea how excited I am that they’re doing a season 2. I’m moving to new york next year and I can’t wait to bump into them… and Mel.

    Lower East Side? Looks a lot more like Williamsburg to me. At one point they even dance on the Marcy Stop platform of the JMZ line.

    I love this show. IT amazing walking out of my house and see them shooting like 2 blocks away from my house near the East Broadway stop on the F line. So waiting for Season 2.

  • Tui

  • Cassie

    I bumped into them last Saturday night in Wellington! Think they were here for some awards thing! I must admit, they are the funniest guys in NZ….well the ONLY funny guys in NZ.

    We sadly lack good comedic actors! Most of them are cringe material!

    I heard about FOTC from my friend. I watched a couple of episodes of the first season and I was amazed ( I would end up buying the season within a couple days after watching some of it and watched the entire season in one day). Those two are very funny and their show is absolutely brilliant. FOTC is one of my favorite shows, and I cannot wait for season 2.

  • spunky

    They had a radio show in the uk before they went to the states!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • solomon

    The second season is said to be coming in January 2009. Yet “The Flight of the Conchords” is not to sure if its a definet second season, they have already used 97% of there music in the first season. So right now they are worried about “QUALITY” not “QUANITY”.

  • Chi-town Shannon

    I watched the entire season in one day too on Comcast. FOTC is waaaayyy addictive.
    Did any of you fans see that movie Jemaine was in called
