HBO has renewed REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER for two more seasons, it was announced today by Nina Rosenstein, Executive Vice President, HBO programming. The series will air on HBO through 2024 and will be available to stream on HBO Max.

“After 19 seasons, REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER remains a Friday night destination for fresh perspectives and smart conversation about today’s most relevant issues,” said Rosenstein. “His weekly editorials are insightful, must-see viewing in his signature voice, and we’re proud to continue our relationship with Bill and the incredible team at Real Time.”
