Max is sending Conan O’Brien on a few more trips.
The streamer has ordered a third season of O’Brien’s travelogue series Conan O’Brien Must Go. The pickup comes ahead of the season two premiere in May (with a specific date still to be determined).
“Working with Conan and his team on Conan O’Brien Must Go is the trip of a lifetime,” said Nina Rosenstein, executive vp HBO Programming, Late Night & Specials. “They’re annoyingly brilliant and no one can make locals feel as deeply uncomfortable in their own country as Conan can — this season in lederhosen!”
Season two of the series will feature three episodes with O’Brien visiting New Zealand, Austria and Spain. In the first season — which featured episodes filmed in Norway, Argentina, Thailand and Ireland — he met up with fans whom he initially connected with via his podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend and put himself in fish-out-of-water situations.
“I do like to be the odd person out, the one that doesn’t fit in,” O’Brien told The Hollywood Reporter in a 2024 interview. “I think I’m funnier when I’m not in the power position. I was talking to one guy, and he was sort of looking at my skin, my freckles, and he’s like, ‘Are you ill?’ Those are the situations that just inherently amuse me — when a bit of the joke is on me.”
O’Brien’s company Conaco produces Conan O’Brien Must Go, with O’Brien and Jeff Ross executive producing.
