New Zealand's best singing comedy duo is heading back to your screens.

HBO announced that Flight of the Conchords will make a return in the form of a one-hour special set to air in May.

The comedy special was taped in front of live sold-out audience during their UK visit, featuring classic songs and originals performed as part of the "Flight of the Conchords Sing Flight of the Conchords Tour."

Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie first debuted on HBO in 2005 in an episode of the stand-up series "One Night Stand," then reappeared again 2007 for their self-titled hit series.

Flight of the Conchords lasted two seasons and 22 episodes, with the series ending in 2009. Since then they've both made appearances in film on top of touring.

Clement recently appeared as Tamatoa, the mean treasure-hoarding crab in Moana, while McKenzie won an Oscar for Best Original Song in 2011 for his work on The Muppets.

Anyway, let's hope for more of that hilarious rivalry with the Australians.
