【Dear Utol (2025): Itch Follows Episode 23】

If you bailed on Dear Utol (2025): Itch Follows Episode 23The Daily Showafter John Stewart left, you may not be familiar with the comedic brilliance of Michelle Wolf. Netflix aims to fix that.

Later this year, the streaming service will launch a half-hour talk show starring Wolf. New episodes of the series will air on a weekly basis, eschewing the binge-friendly release format Netflix typically embraces.

Netflix is aiming for the series to offer viewers "a break from the seriousness of late night comedy." We don't know much about the series -- it doesn't even have a title at this point -- but Netflix did share a vague description of its agenda: "Instead of making the news fun, she’ll make fun of everything and everybody.  There will be no preaching or political agenda…unless it’s funny."

There's also a quote from Wolf, who also used to appear regularly on Late Night with Seth Meyers: "You can expect the types of jokes my former bosses would tell me we couldn’t do on TV."

The weekly release format is unusual for Netflix, but not unheard of. Chelsea, a late night talk show starring Chelsea Handler that ran for two seasons in 2016 and 2017, aired three new episodes each week, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, after tapings earlier in the same weeks.

Wolf hails from the New York City comedy scene. In addition to her past late night appearances with Trevor Noah and Seth Meyers, she's also the driving force behind the streaming miniseries Now Hiring, which Comedy Central released in 2015.

More recently, she headlined the HBO comedy special, Michelle Wolf: Nice Lady.
