He's back.
David Letterman will return to television with a new partner—Netflix.
The Scarlett Fay Archivesnew show will run for six hour-long episodes and have interviews as well as out-of-studio segments—which any Letterman fan can tell you is very good news.
The show will premiere at some point in 2018.
“I feel excited and lucky to be working on this project for Netflix. Here's what I have learned, if you retire to spend more time with your family, check with your family first. Thanks for watching, drive safely," Letterman said in a press release.
Letterman is a television legend, having pushed the once-staid late-night TV format into edgier and more absurdist humor. As host of CBS's "Late Show," he became the longest-running host before stepping away in 2015. Stephen Colbert filled his spot.
Letterman had a low profile for a while, though recently he has been appearing in a web series alongside Senator Al Franken that focused on climate change.
Letterman is arguably the highest-profile person yet to work on a project with Netflix, which has emerged as a destination for comedians. The company has signed major deals for movies with Adam Sandler, a Christmas special with Bill Murray, comedy specials with Amy Schumer and Dave Chappelle, and a documentary series with Chelsea Handler, just to name a few.
It's also Netflix's second major announcement in as many days. On Monday, the company announced its first acquisition, buying up comic book legend Mark Millar's company, Millarworld. The company is spending billions on original content as it continues to add subscribers and expand into new regions.
Letterman's field segments are the stuff of comedy legend. When General Electric bought NBC, the company he worked for, he brought his new boss a fruit basket.
