Two years after retiring from The Late Show, David Letterman will return to television screens, fronting a new talk show for the streaming service Netflix.
Six hour-long episodes have been commissioned, each of which will see Letterman conduct single, pre-recorded interviews with a singular guest.
Letterman was the longest-serving late-night host in US history, fronting over 6,000 episodes across both NBC’s Late Night and CBS’ The Late Show.
Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos added: “Just meeting David Letterman was a thrill; imagine how exciting it is for me to announce that we will be working together.
