Ellen DeGeneres is set to return to Netflix with a new stand-up special, her second for the streamer and what shes calling her last special, later this year.

To answer the questions everyone is asking me Yes, Im going to talk about it, DeGeneres said in a statement. Yes this is my last special. Yes, Portia really is that pretty in real life.

The veteran comedian and former talk-show host previously appeared in the 2018 Netflix special Relatable.

Netflixs vp, stand-up and comedy formats, Robbie Praw added: There is nobody quite like Ellen. She is a true legend and pioneer in so many ways. We cant wait to bring fans another one of her hilarious comedy specials later this year. The special will be produced by Ben Winston and Fulwell73.

While this will be her second stand-up special for Netflix, it also marks her first special since the 2022 end of her eponymous daytime talk show, after 19 seasons, which came after she faced personal criticism and claims of a toxic workplace in the summer of 2020.

The allegations, initially reported by Buzzfeed News, led to an internal investigation and the dismissal of key executives.

When DeGeneres returned to Ellen after her summer hiatus that fall, she addressed the toxic-workplace claims, saying, I learned that things happen here that never should have happened. I take that very seriously. And I want to say I am so sorry to the people who were affected.

Still, as she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2021 when she decided to end her show, these claims werent the reason she stepped down.

It almost impacted the show, she said at the time. It was very hurtful to me. I mean, very. But if I was quitting the show because of that, I wouldnt have come back this season. So, its not why Im stopping, but it was hard.

According to Netflix, DeGeneres is set to kick off a multi-city tour June 19 in San Diego. But shes already returned to stand-up, making headlines last month for joking about the toxic-workplace controversy and the end of her show.

During a Los Angeles show called Ellens Last Stand Up, according to reports, DeGeneres joked she was kicked out of show business for being mean.

She continued to say that she was the most hated person in America.

The hate went on for a long time, and I would try to avoid looking at the news, DeGeneres said, according to People. The be kind girl wasnt kind. That was the headline.

In a QA with the audience after her set ended, DeGeneres reflected on what was a rough time for her personally.

Im making jokes about what happened to me, but it was devastating, she said. It took a long time for me to want to do anything again, adding that she hated the way the show ended because she loved that show so much.

More to come.
