Netflix has shared the official trailer and key art for Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, a new comedy special that will premiere globally on September 24.
Directed by Joel Gallen, the special was produced by Ben Winston of Fulwell 73 Productions, Ellen DeGeneres, and Portia de Rossi.
For the first time in six years, Ellen DeGeneres returns to the stage in her new comedy special Ellen Degeneres: For Your Approval. In the final comedy special of her historic career, Ellen gets personal and reveals what she’s been doing since being “kicked out of show business.”
From the mundane world of raising chickens and parallel parking to the harsh reality of becoming a brand name celebrity, she goes deep into her stand-up roots and brings the laughs through life’s most real and absurd realities.
This marks Ellen’s second original comedy special with Netflix after 2018’s Relatable. The special will be Ellen’s last comedy special of her career.
Ellen previously said, “To answer the questions everyone is asking me- Yes, I’m going to talk about it. Yes this is my last special. Yes, Portia really is that pretty in real life.”
