Hulu Orders Second Season of Woke; HBO Max Gets Conan Variety Series, While Conan Ends on TBS in June 2021

Hulu has renewed live-action/animated hybrid original comedy series Woke, inspired by the life of award-winning artist Keith Knight, for a second season (8 episodes). The first season debuted on Hulu, Wednesday, September 9 and is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Starring Lamorne Morris, Woke takes an absurdist look at identity and culture through the lens of Keef - a Black cartoonist finally on the verge of mainstream success, when an unexpected incident changes everything. With a newfound consciousness, Keef must navigate the new voices and ideas challenging him, all without setting aflame to everything he's already built. The comedy is a co-production between Sony Pictures Television and ABC Signature. The series stars Lamorne Morris, T. Murph and Blake Anderson. Sasheer Zamata and Rose McIver guest star.

Conan O'Brien

After an extraordinary 28 years as a late night television host including a ten-year, critically-acclaimed run on TBS, Conan O'Brien will extend his relationship with WarnerMedia with a brand new, weekly variety series on HBO Max. As one of the most prolific late-night hosts, O'Brien will conclude TBS' award-winning nightly talk show Conan at the end of its tenth season in June 2021. His signature travel specials, Conan Without Borders, will continue.
