Louis C.K. Michael Loccisano/Getty Images Netflix is getting back into business with Louis C.K.
The comedian is headlining a show at The Hollywood Bowl as part of the streamer’s Netflix Is a Joke festival on May 5. And his upcoming comedy special, Ridiculous, will premiere on the platform this summer. Ridiculous is directed and executive produced by C.K. himself and executive produced by Lea Cohen Zuckerman and Brady Nasfell.
This marks the first time that Netflix has worked with the comedian since his 2017 special Louis C.K. 2017.
The move appears to mark a turning point for the comedian, who had been apparently exiled from many mainstream comedy spaces following a 2017 New York Times report in which five women accused him of sexual misconduct.
More to come.
