The second season of late-night talk and news satire television program Last Week Tonight with John Oliver originally aired between February 8, 2015, and November 22, 2015, on HBO in the United States. The season was produced by Avalon Television and Sixteen String Jack Productions; the executive producers were host John Oliver, Tim Carvell, and Liz Stanton, with Paul Pennolino as director.
Last Week Tonight aired on Sundays at 11 pm, totaling 35 episodes in season two. The season was generally well-received, winning three Emmy Awards, one Critics' Choice Television Award, one PGA Award, one Dorian Award, and one Webby Award. The show continued to release the main stories of each broadcast on its YouTube channel after each episode aired.
