It is being reported that John Oliver has opted to extend his contract with HBO though 2027. While the network has not made an official announcement, this development should see Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on the air for at least another season, which will be its 14th.

Since its 2014 premiere, the series has become a Sunday night staple on the cable network. Over the years it has developed a devoted fanbase while earning its share of critical acclaim, with multiple Emmy Award wins in numerous categories including Outstanding Variety Talk Series. Today's single-year extension is a bit of a change for the show, as typical renewals have been 3-year extensions.

Hosted by the titular British comedic personality, the weekly satirical late-night talk show reviews the week's news, politics, and current events, while offering Oliver's unique perspective and distinct voice on social and existential issues facing America and the rest of the world.
