Real Time with Bill Maher is officially renewed for two more seasons. The late-night series currently has 20 seasons in total.

Real Time with Bill Maher, a weekly HBO discussion series hosted by comedian and political satirist Bill Maher, airs once a week. Real Time, like his former Comedy Central and ABC series Politically Incorrect, featured a panel of guests who analyse current events in politics and the media. Unlike the previous show, visitors are typically more knowledgeable about the subject: the panel includes more specialists, such as journalists, academics, and politicians, and fewer actors and celebrities.

Real Time is a weekly hour-long studio audience show that airs live on Friday nights at 10:00 p.m. ET. It originated from Television City’s Studio 33 (“The Bob Barker Studio”). Furthermore, a 10- to 15-minute “Overtime” section soon follows the broadcast on YouTube (Live Streams), answering questions submitted by fans via HBO’s online page for the show.

Without further ado, here’s what we know about Real Time with Bill Maher so far.
