The renewal comes midway through the show’s current multi-season order, which runs through 2022, The Hollywood Reporter reported.

 

“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 HBO programming executive VP Nina Rosenstein.

 

Rosenstein added, “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.”

 

Maher also express his thoughts, he said, “I’m thrilled to be signing such a fabulous deal with the best network. What can I say – beginner’s luck.
