Chelsea Handler has signed a deal for a talk show on Netflix that will premiere in 2016.

The deal begins with a standup comedy special based on her current tour, Uganda Be Kidding Me, which will be taped in Chicago on Friday and is to be released on Netflix Oct. 10. Four new "docu-comedy specials" will be created for Netflix in 2015, "featuring her efforts to gain a better understanding of a variety of subjects ranging from NASCAR to politics and from Silicon Valley to the NBA draft," Netflix says.

Then in 2016, the talk show, with an "updated format," will "encompass Chelsea's unfiltered opinions on topical entertainment and cultural issues, as well as her signature guest interviews," and will be distributed in all of Netflix's global territories. No word on how frequently it will be offered.
