Flight of the Conchords Working on a ‘Little Something’ for HBO
It’s business time.
After years of teasers and rumors dancing around a Flight of the Conchords return, fans may be in for a treat. No, not of the sugar lumps variety, but any FOTC revival is a highly anticipated one.
On Friday, Jemaine Clement, revealed at FX’s Television Critics Association press day that he and Bret McKenzie were working on a “little something” pertaining to a reboot of HBO’s 2007 cult hit.
“We’re going to film a little something this year,” he told ET’s Leanne Aguilera, “We’re going to shoot an hour thing.”
It’s worth repeating that the series filmed throughout the Lower East Side and Chinatown during its two year tenure. Only time will tell if the Kiwi duo will include the now demolished New Zealand consulate in this upcoming release.
Or maybe they’ve earned enough money to live sky high in the Extell tower?
