Conan O'Brien will return to host the Oscars for a third time in 2027.

The 63-year-old comedian has proven popular with producers, critics and viewers after taking the reins of the Academy Awards in 2025, and after another successful outing at this year's ceremony in March, it's confirmed he'll be back for the 99th edition of the prestigious event in 2027.

In a statement, Craig Erwich - the President of Disney Television Group - said: "Conan has created remarkable energy around The Oscars.

“His singular comedic voice makes Hollywood's biggest night one of the most entertaining celebrations of the year.

"We're proud to welcome him back and look forward to what he and the producing team deliver next.”

In a joint statement, producers Raj Kapoor and Katy Mullan - who will be back together for a fourth consecutive year - insisted it will be "really special" to reunite with Conan for the third year in a row when the ceremony returns on March 14, 2027.

They added: “Getting to reunite with Conan O'Brien for a third year at the Oscars is really special.

"He brings that signature humour everyone loves, along with a real warmth and generosity that carry through the entire show

"He's a true creative partner, someone we trust completely, and someone who makes the whole process genuinely fun, both behind the scenes and on stage.

"We're incredibly grateful to keep building this together and can't wait to share what's next."
