The new travel series Conan O’Brien Must Go has finally set a premiere date on Max.

The project, which will premiere on April 18, was first announced during Warner Bros. Discovery’s upfronts presentation last year.

O’Brien announced the news of when the show’s four episodes will be debuting on the platform during a fireside chat at SXSW on Saturday with comedian Nick Kroll.

The show, which is based on O’Brien’s popular podcast “Conan O’Brien Needs a Fan,” is narrated by filmmaker Werner Herzog.

On the podcast, O’Brien has conversations with listeners from around the world, and he follows suit with the Max series as he meets up with fans in Norway, Thailand, Argentina, and Ireland.

Conan O’Brien Must Go is produced by Conaco and executive produced by O’Brien and Jeff Ross. O’Brien had previously revealed that the show would take between a week and 10 days to film in any country.

“There are funny people all over the globe and they all have their own rhythm,” O’Brien said. “Everyone in Ireland is a comedian… I love talking to people who don’t know who I am, don’t care. I’m a connection junkie, I like to connect with people. I think this show is my way to get my fix.”

Conan O’Brien Must Go is not O’Brien’s first travel show, as his show Conan Without Borders visited 13 countries and won an Emmy during its run on TBS.

When his self-titled TBS late-night show Conan ended in June 2021 after 11 seasons, the comedian had signed a deal to launch a new weekly variety series for HBO Max the following year, but it has yet to materialize.

As for the new show, O’Brien says he has a lot more time for creative flexibility than he did for Conan Without Borders. “The look can get more cinematic,” he said. “We get to use drones and we have the money to use costumes. We have a lot more we can do than when we were in the field on a week off.”
