Netflix announced today that Douglas, Gadsby’s new show, named after her dog, that she toured internationally last year will head to Netflix on Tuesday, May 26. (The deal for Douglas to go to Netflix has been in the works since last May.)

May is turning out to be a big month for Netflix stand-up specials. The month will kick off with the debut of Jerry Seinfeld’s new special, 23 Hours to Kill, on May 5, followed by the premiere of Patton Oswalt’s new special, I Love Everything, on May 19. As for Gadsby’s special, she has one point to make during the promo released today: “It’s gonna be good! Unless you don’t like it — then it’s still gonna be good, and you’ll be wrong.â€
