After rewriting the rules of comedy with “Nanette,” Hannah Gadsby will reckon with her breakout success in “Douglas.” The Australian comedian’s 11th stand-up show just received a release date. Netflix will drop “Douglas” May 26, a press release announced.

Named in honor of Gadsby’s dog, “Douglas” sees Gadsby reflecting on life after “Nanette,” her 2018 Peabody and Emmy-winning special examining trauma, internalized homophobia and misogyny, and the very nature of comedy itself. According to Netflix’s synopsis of “Douglas,” viewers can expect a “tour from the dog park to the renaissance and back guided by one of comedy’s most sparkling and surprising minds.”

Gadsby has written for projects such as “Please Like Me” and “Adam Hills in Gordon St Tonight.” She acted in the former, as well as “Underbelly” and “The Librarians.”

“I wasn’t expecting global stardom,” Gadsby has said of “Nanette’s” reception. “I wasn’t expecting to finish and end up big in India. Now I have everyone watching me.” She explained, “I thought I was risking a lot with ‘Nanette.’ It was a lot more risky to not care about failure now that I’m at this level. That was my main driving principle writing ‘Douglas’: I don’t care if this fails. I’m going to take certain risks again.”

Gadsby emphasized that there needs to be “a revolution of form in order to accommodate different voices [in comedy]. Because stand-up in the form it exists — stand-up punch line — that’s a form that was set up by men for men,” she observed. “It’s a competitive way of communicating, and that suits them. But there is a diversity of experiences that won’t fit into the format as it stands. I’m not sad if I kill comedy. I’m not sad.”
