David Letterman is returning to the small screen in 2018
in a new Netflix series. The six-episode series will feature “in-depth conversations with extraordinary people, and in-the-field segments expressing his curiosity and humor.” "I feel excited and lucky to be working on this project for Netflix," the host said in a statement. "Here's what I have learned: If you retire to spend more time with your family, check with your family first. Thanks for watching, drive safely." Letterman retired in 2015 after 33 years on television.
