Yahoo News Conchords reveal why they didn't do a third TV season
It's been almost ten years since Flight of the Conchords ended its short two season run, leaving plenty of fans disappointed.
Although the epitome of a cult favourite, the musical comedy show wasn't cancelled by HBO due to low ratings or because it was too expensive or whatever.
Nope, Jermaine Clement and Bret McKenzie actually called time on the show themselves.
Speaking to The Guardian, the duo said that working on the show's second season was so intense and exhausting they almost collapsed from anxiety.
In fact, they made sure that their agents didn't tell them how much money they would have made from a third season, which helped them step away from it.
When asked if they were tired of working together, Clement said they "were tired of working together".
"It's not like we were tired of each other's company," McKenzie added. "It just wasn't fun."
Although it doesn't look like there will be another TV series of Flight of the Conchords sequel, Clement and McKenzie are currently on tour throughout June and July (the dates were delayed due to a broken hand).
Is there anywhere else they could take the Conchords (like that long-rumoured movie that's been seemingly on-and-off for years)?
Well, the duo don't mention anything like that, but they do end the interview by referring to Flight of the Conchords as "a side project".
