It’s business time once again for Flight of the Conchords and HBO. The New Zealand-bred musical comedy duo of Jemaine Clement and Brett McKenzie will return to the network this fall for the first time since wrapping their namesake series in 2009. A one-hour special featuring new and classic songs — “Flight of the Conchords: Live at the London Apollo” — was taped at the Eventim Apollo on July 1.
First announced in January, the special was originally supposed to air this past May. However, in mid-March, dates on the pair’s tour of the UK and Ireland were postponed when McKenzie fell down stairs and broke two bones in his hand, hindering his guitar-playing. The twosome executive produced the TV concert with Mike Martinovich. Director Hamish Hamilton oversaw the proceedings; his credits include three Oscars telecasts, eight Super Bowl Halftime Shows, and this September’s Primetime Emmy Awards.
