Bill Maher and his “Real Time” talk show will be back for at least two more years.
HBO has renewed “Real Time” through 2022, taking the show through 20 seasons. The pick up was announced by HBO programming EVP Nina Rosenstein.
“For 18 seasons, Bill Maher and the talented team at ‘Real Time’ have given audiences an unparalleled platform for debate, comedy, and social discourse,” said Rosenstein. “We’re so happy to continue this partnership.”
“18 years – I can’t believe I’m turning 18 and HBO isn’t making me leave home,” added Maher. “Thrilled to be living under their roof for another couple of years.”
“Real Time” is executive produced by Maher, Sheila Griffiths, Marc Gurvitz, Dean Johnsen, and Billy Martin. Chris Kelly serves as co-EP, Matt Wood as producer, and Paul Casey as director.
