Howard Stern's Radio Show to Become Weekly HBO Max Series
Howard Stern's SiriusXM program will be adapted into filmed weekly episodes for HBO Max, premiering globally on September 17. The series will feature his celebrity interviews, staff antics, and conversations with Robin Quivers. Stern's production company is executive producing the project.
The deal marks a significant expansion of Stern’s video presence, which previously consisted of brief clips from his SiriusXM broadcasts. HBO Max will repackage the daily radio program into weekly, curated episodes, premiering September 17 at 12:01 a.m. PT. The show will feature celebrity interviews, staff interactions, and his long-running on-air partnership with Robin Quivers. Stern’s own production company holds executive producer credit, while SiriusXM remains the original broadcast home. The announcement quotes both HBO Max content chief Casey Bloys and Stern, who frames the move as a career highlight and a step toward worldwide distribution.
This adaptation could broaden Stern’s audience beyond longtime radio listeners, introducing his interview style to a streaming generation accustomed to on-demand content. It may also signal a growing trend of repackaging established audio franchises for video platforms, potentially affecting how talent negotiates cross-media rights. For HBO Max, the series could strengthen its talk-variety lineup, though its impact depends on whether Stern’s format translates to a weekly, edited structure without losing its spontaneous appeal.
