‘Real Time With Bill Maher’ Renewed At HBO Through 2022

Real Time with Bill Maher will remain a late night staple on HBO screens until at least 2022, according to an announcement from the premium cable network, which has decided to renew his weekly socio-political talk show.

Bill Maher has been on the WarnerMedia-owned network since 2003 and just recently returned to his studio after filming the show from his Los Angeles backyard over the last several months with virtual guests due to the coronavirus pandemic.

According to Deadline, the executive producers of Real Time with Bill Maher are Maher himself, along with Sheila Griffiths, Marc Gurvitz, Dean Johnsen and Billy Martin with co-executive producer Chris Kelly, producer Matt Wood and director Paul Casey.

“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 Nina Rosenstein, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming in the announcement. “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.”
