Marc Maron will be back on HBO with his next stand-up comedy special.
The host of WTF with Marc Maron will film the special in New York in May and it will be released later this year. There are no details as to what Maron will opine on in the new untitled hour.
Maron’s last special – From Bleak to Dark – aired on HBO in 2023. That special, which was his first for the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned cable network, was filmed at New York City’s Town Hall and saw him tackle topics such as getting older, antisemitism and faith, and his thoughts on having children – especially during the pandemic.
He also opened up about reestablishing his complicated relationship with his father following a difficult diagnosis and the loss of partner Lynn Shelton in 2020.
“I’m not an arena act,” Maron told Deadline in 2023. “There’s no way I’ll be that guy. I’m not even sure I got into it to be an entertainer. I [use it] to get to your own personal truth. It was about being seen and making people think about things even differently. It’s a noble profession.”
Maron did previously appear on HBO’s Comedy Half-Hour back in 1995 before going on to do a number of specials for Comedy Central.
Other specials include 2013’s Thinky Pain, 2015’s More Later, 2017’s Too Real and 2020’s End Times Fun, which aired on Netflix.
Elsewhere, Maron is starring in Rob Burnett’s upcoming feature film In Memoriam alongside Judy Greer, Sharon Stone and Regina Hall, and is playing Bruce Springsteen’s producer Chuck Plotkin in Scott Cooper’s Jeremy Allen White-led biopic about The Boss, Deliver Me From Nowhere. On the TV side, he’s also starring alongside Owen Wilson in Apple golf comedy series Stick.
