Netflix adds Dave Chappelle specials

Netflix is to launch three stand-up comedy specials from American comedian Dave Chappelle next year.

Chappelle and director Stan Lathan will produce original stand-up comedy shows exclusively for the US SVoD service.

It marks the comedian’s first concert specials in 12 years, and comes after Netflix picked up two stand-up specials from Chris Rock as part of a US$40m deal.
