Hannah Gadsby broke new ground with her Netflix stand-up comedy special Nanette in 2018, and two years later, she's set to make a return.

The comedian will release another Netflix special sometime in 2020 called Douglas, which is named after her beloved, and much-Instagrammed dog.

Gadsby's show is currently touring around the U.S. and around the world, where she is set to appear next in Portland.

"I’m so excited to announce today that Douglas will be released on Netflix in 2020," she said in a statement.

"I’m really enjoying touring with the live performance, but there will be places in the world that I won’t be able to visit, so it’s wonderful that Netflix will bring the show to every corner of the globe."

It's unclear yet where the special will be filmed, although we'd imagine the team behind it would keep it a secret.

Nanette was filmed at the Sydney Opera House, where of course, the comedian said she wanted to quit comedy -- something that she has long backtracked on.
