Yes, I’m afraid what all of us feared is actually happening. Brett and Jemaine will not return for a third season of the show we ranked the 14th best of the decade. Says the band on their official site:
Bret, Jemaine and James (co-creator/director) said “we’ve noticed the less we say about the future of the show, the more people want to talk about it, so in an effort to reverse this trend we are today announcing that we won’t be returning for a 3rd season. We’re very proud of the two seasons we made and we like the way the show ended. We’d like to thank everyone who helped make the show and also everyone who watched it. While the characters Bret and Jemaine will no longer be around, the real Bret and Jemaine will continue to exist.
The announcement doesn’t really come as a surprise, as speculation over whether they’d continue had been flying around for months. The duo still lives in New Zealand, and have in the past talked about how difficult it is to write and film the show. What’s next for FOTC remains to be seen, but it sounds like they’ll continue writing and performing as the duo, at least from this post. Regardless, we’ll miss seeing Murray, Mel, Dave, and of course, Brett and Jemaine.
