Netflix Announces 'Chelsea' Streaming Talk Show Starring Chelsea Handler, Premiere Set for May 11

The former E! talk show host is heading to Netflix in May.  

Netflix and Chelsea Handler have officially announced a premiere date for 'Chelsea.' The upcoming talk show will star Chelsea Handler and is set to arrive globally on the streaming service on May 11.

Details on the show's premiere were first announced via a twitter post by Handler and a live stream Q&A held earlier today. The commercial free 30 minute talk show will be streamed on Netflix three times a week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. 90 episodes are planned per year and there will be a live audience during tapings. The show will feature various guests, including politicians, celebrities, and athletes, along with human interest stories, traveling footage from various locations, and a laid back vibe.
