The tenth season of ‘Last Week Tonight with John Oliver’ premiered on February 19, 2023. However, the show went on hiatus in May 2023 due to the Writers Guild of America strike. After the strike was resolved in September, it was announced that the show would return on October 1.
On December 5, 2023, HBO announced that the show had been renewed for three additional seasons, keeping the show on the air through 2026.
