Riding the high of the success of his post-election Saturday Night Live stint, comedian Dave Chappelle’s talents are headed to Netflix.
The streaming service announced they are partnering with Chappelle for three comedy specials. No release dates have been discussed:
One of the specials will be a Netflix original, while the remaining three pull from Chappelle’s creative vault of material that was filmed at Austin City Limits and The Hollywood Palladium, according to The Verge.
“Dave Chappelle is a legendary voice in comedy — searing, vital, and now more than ever, essential,” said Netflix VP of original documentary and comedy Lisa Nishimura in an official statement. “Dave’s three new specials promise to be some of the most anticipated events in comedy.”
Welcome back into the game, Dave!
