Today, during the Warner Bros. Discovery Upfront presentation, Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO and Max Content, announced that Max has renewed the critically acclaimed original travel series Conan O’Brien Must Go for a six-episode second season.
Conan O’Brien Must Go features the Emmy-winning host visiting new friends he’s met through his podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Fan, where he dives deep with listeners from around the world.
Making stops in Norway, Thailand, Argentina, and Ireland, O’Brien surprises some of his most memorable fans while also taking in local culture, cuisine, and sights. The first season consists of four episodes.
“Conan’s ridiculousness knows no bounds. Our audience told us in no uncertain terms that four episodes of Conan O’Brien Must Go is not nearly enough. To which we say, be careful what you wish for,” said Nina Rosenstein, Executive Vice President at HBO Programming of Late Night & Specials.
“This latest travel show has been so fun and rewarding that I suspected it was all a cruel prank. My apologies in advance to the next six countries,” added Conan O’Brien. The series is produced by Conaco. The executive producers are Conan O’Brien and Jeff Ross.
The podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend is a weekly opportunity for Conan to hang out with the people he enjoys most and perhaps find some real friendship along the way.
