How to watch Marc Maron’s ‘Panicked’: Time, streaming info

Two years after his first HBO stand-up special was released, comedian, actor, and podcaster Marc Maron is returning to the network with his sixth overall special, “Panicked.”

Per HBO, Maron “offers up his nuanced perspective on our increasingly uncertain world.” In a statement to the network, the comedian, 61, called the new special “the best work [he’s] done.”

Earlier this week, Maron revealed that it cost “about $50,000” to license just one minute of Taylor Swift’s “Bigger Than the Whole Sky” for a pivotal joke in the special.

In addition to the brand-new special, Maron has had a huge year; he played a supporting role in Apple TV+’s surprise hit “Stick” and he’ll appear in “The Nice Guys 2,”. A documentary about him, titled “Are We Good?”, will get a theatrical release later this fall. This year will also mark the end of a major chapter: his “WTF with Marc Maron” podcast, which he started 15 years ago, will come to a definitive end this fall after over 1,600 celebrity interview episodes.

Here’s what you need to know to watch “Marc Maron: Panicked” live or on-demand.
