Dave Chappelle Is Producing More Comedy Specials for Netflix Following Controversy

Dave Chappelle‘s relationship with Netflix is expanding.

The 48-year-old comedian announced Chappelle’s Home Team, a series of stand-alone comedy specials featuring comics chosen by himself, via Variety.

The series will debut on February 28 with a set from Washington comedian Earthquake, called Earthquake: Legendary, in which he tackles “wealth, prostate exams and disciplining kids.”

Dave will appear in each special to introduce the comedians, who have all been working for over 30 years.

The second special features Donnell Rawlings.

“I’ve been doing this a long time and comedians like Quake and Donnell are not only friends but have inspired my own career. Anyone in the comedy community knows these names and knows their time to shine is long overdue. I am proud to be a part of this moment,” Dave said.

The news comes as Netflix faced a substantial amount of backlash for Dave Chappelle‘s previous comedy special, which the CEO defended.
