Well the news isn't a fact as of yet, but the guys are expressing the idea of ending the show after season 2. Bret McKenzie saying "It would be a fitting end to the series." Both Bret McKenzie, and Jemaine Clement expressed that they were tired of working on the show, especially now that their new season has to deal with all new material, which means it'll be a long work process. They never expected the rock star status, since they are considered a comedy act rather than anything else. It also wasn't easy getting used to all the popularity. In New Zealand they were just a band trying to do their thing, here in the states, they've become uneasy of all of the stardom. Fans really showed their love for FotC, one woman even came on stage to touch Jemaine. I guess you could say FotC are big with the ladies, especially when an unknown fan in the audience screams to the guys "take off your pants".
Anyways the possibility of the show ending after season 2 is still there. Plus this doesn't mean the end of FotC. They could bring out more albums, and possibly go their separate ways into music, movies and television Jemaine Clement will be starring in Gentlemen Broncos, directed by Napoleon Dynamite director Jared Hess. The film is about a Science fiction writer who steals a book idea from a fan. And Bret still has the The Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra of which he created a while back. Plus he has Video Kid, and I'd love to see him bringing out another Video Kid album.
As for a season 3, lets hope. I think a better fitting end, would be to make a feature length film. Why not? Sex and the City did it and so did The X-Files. Anyways I just hope that they reconsider. The idea of a season 3, or even 4 is just awesome.
