After the success of Nanette, another collaboration between Hannah Gadsby and Netflix is coming our way. 

While no specific date has been confirmed, the 41-year-old Australian stand-up comic announced that Douglas will debut on the streaming service in 2020. 

ā€œIā€™m so excited to announce today that Douglas will be released on Netflix in 2020,ā€ she said Monday. ā€œIā€™m really enjoying touring with the live performance, but there will be places in the world that I wonā€™t be able to visit, so itā€™s wonderful that Netflix will bring the show to every corner of the globe.ā€

Gadsbyā€™s previous special on Netflix, Nanette, was released to critical acclaim. But Gadsby is telling fans not to develop any expectation as the special itself, ā€œtalks about expectations and how labels can set them up to fail.ā€

She also told Variety, ā€œNanetteā€™s her own beast. Iā€™ve pretty much just set up camp in Nanetteā€™s shadow and this is where I live now. The thing about Nanette is, Iā€™ve said what I had to say in that moment, so thatā€™s what Iā€™ve done with Douglas and Iā€™m just speaking to where I am in the moment, and a lot of where Iā€™m at, at the moment is in the wake of Nanette.ā€
