They portray a folk band from New Zealand trying to make it big in New York City on HBO, but after two seasons, Flight of the Conchords may be coming to an end.
Jemaine Clement, the one half of the musical duo, hinted in a recent interview with Reuters that there is really only one reason why the show wouldn’t continue.
"We've got to write the series, but we've also got to write the songs, and just dividing your time into those two writing tasks is really tricky," he said.
Clement did go on to say though he wouldn’t make any final decision yet until he talks things through with Bret McKenzie, the other half of the duo.
When Reuters asked Clement if he anticipated the show would return, he answered “it very likely may not.”
The show, which follows the two musicians around New York city as they try to land gigs with the help of their quirky manager, started in 2007 and is now in its second season.
The show has also spawned two albums from the Clement and Mckenzie, who are trained musicans, with music they perform throughout the two seasons.
It has been a big hit for HBO bringing in over three million viewers per episode.
Flight of the Conchords was nominated for an Emmy in the best comedy series category and Clement was nominated for best lead actor in a comedy series.
Although the future does remain unclear, Clement did hint at the possibility of an HBO special or a shorter season; an option HBO spokesperson Nancy Lesser says is more that fine.
"We've left their future entirely in their hands," she told Reuters.
"We would love to have more, and we left an open door at HBO,” she continued.
