Tig Notaro is heading back to Amazon — and live action — for her latest comedy special. Prime Video will debut Tig Notaro: Hello Again this March.
The new hour marks Notaro’s first project at Amazon since the end of her two-season Prime Video comedy One Mississippi in 2017 and her first flesh-and-blood taping in nearly six years. Her last special, Tig Notaro: Drawn, made history as the first fully animated stand-up special when it landed on HBO in 2022.
Hello Again follows Drawn, as well as other previous specials 2018’s Happy to Be Here and 2015’s Boyish Girl Interrupted. It is described as including “delightfully awkward misunderstandings, health scares made hilarious and family moments with her wife and children that are simultaneously sidesplitting and heartwarming.”
The streamers are absolutely hammering their slates with stand-up specials this spring. Perhaps it’s just a continuation of the years-long trend or maybe it has something to do with the runway cleared by the writers and actors strikes of 2024, but the announcements are coming on an almost daily basis. Taylor Tomlinson, Jenny Slate, Rory Scovel and Ramy Youseff are just a few of the comics to announce new hours in recent weeks.
The fact that Notaro takes relatively long between releasing specials might have something to do with the comic’s aggressive acting slate. She appeared in season three of The Morning Show, earning a SAG Award nomination for ensemble alongside Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, Star Trek: Discovery and features Your Place or Mine, We Have a Ghost and Army of the Dead.
Hello Again, which was directed by Stephanie Allynne, Notaro’s wife, will debut in more than 240 countries and territories on Prime Video on Mar. 26. It is produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Above Average.
