as much as i wish the rumor about an fotc hbo encore is true, it's not

The article that started this rumor firestorm was The Guardian interview w/ Jemaine Clement re: What We Do in the Shadows...My guess is that one sentence was misinterpreted by one person & like in a child's game of telephone, the original message got garbled up a bit ...

 

The text underlined in red above, indicates that HBO has a show in the works involving Clement and Taika Waititi not necessarily Bret McKenzie.

 

Here are some links of websites erroneously reporting the return of FOTC show to HBO:

Glad to see the Nerdist website made note of Clement's clarification tweets also...
