To be filmed during UK/Ireland tour

HBO has confirmed that Flight Of The Conchords are to record an hour-long special on their forthcoming UK tour.

The show comes nine years after the end of their self-titled TV show for the broadcaster ended after two seasons and 22 episodes.

Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement will perform new songs and greatest hits in the tour, which kicks off in York on March 9. It’s not been announced which of the 17 UK and two Irish dates  (schedule here) will be taped for broadcast.

The special will air in the States in May and was confirmed a week after Clement mentioned it during an interview.

He also confirmed that a US television adaptation of his 2014 film about the day-to-day lives of vampires, What We Do In the Shadows is in the works. A pilot is set to be shot later this year, although Clement will not be appearing in it.
