Netflix Releases ‘Relatable’ Trailer

Lesbians, queer folks, women who love women, and general Ellen fans, rejoice! She’s finally back; this new Netflix trailer release makes it official.

There’s a lot more to this holiday special than jokes, however. According to New Now Next, it celebrates her return to comedy after 15 years off. She also tackles heavy and serious topics in the special, such as how coming out as a lesbian caused her to loose her sitcom but become a queer cultural icon.

“I lost my sitcom when I came out, and it took three years to get back on television,” she tells the crowd at Seattle’s Benaroya Hall in the special. “There was this one station manager that said, ‘No one’s going to watch a lesbian during the day.’ And I said, ‘Well, they weren’t watching me at night. What time of day is good for a lesbian?’”

Relatable will be streamable for Netflix subscribers on December 16, so get ready to make some serious couch time for the lesbian guru.
