HBO Renews Real Time With Bill Maher Through 2028, Sets Jan. 23 Season 24 Return

The two-season pact continues HBO’s renewal pattern for the series, preserving its long-standing late-night format.

Overview

  • Season 24 premieres Friday, Jan. 23 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and HBO Max.
  • The extension carries the show to the end of 2028 under a two-season deal.
  • The run will approach 800 episodes since the series launched on HBO in 2003.
  • The production team remains in place, with Maher, Sheila Griffiths, Dean Johnsen, Billy Martin and Marc Gurvitz as executive producers, Chris Kelly as co-executive producer, Matt Wood producing and Paul Casey directing.
  • HBO has favored two-season renewals in recent years, and Maher has dismissed talk of exiting after previously joking about it, which an HBO executive described as kidding.
