David Letterman’s post-retirement career will continue for a while longer.
Netflix has renewed the former Late Show host’s interview series, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman, for two more seasons. The pickup will take the show through its seventh installment.
Season six of the series is scheduled to premiere later this year; a specific date and guest lineup have yet to be announced.
My Next Guest has aired 27 episodes (plus two “bonus” editions that fall under the show’s listings on Netflix) over five seasons dating back to 2018, when the show’s first guest was former President Barack Obama. The series features long-form interviews with a single guest per episode; past subjects have included Tina Fey, Robert Downey Jr., Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Malala Yousafzai, Charles Barkley and, most recently, WNBA star Caitlin Clark.
The series won an Emmy in 2024 for best hosted nonfiction series or special and has earned six nominations from the TV Academy over its run so far.
Jax Media/Imagine Entertainment and Letterman’s Worldwide Pants, Inc. produce My Next Guest Needs No Introduction. The executive producers are Tom Keaney and Mary Barclay for Worldwide Pants, Justin Wilkes and Yolanda T. Cochran for Jax Media/Imagine Entertainment, and Séamus Murphy-Mitchell. Isabel Richardson and Tommy Alter are producers.
