Robby Hoffman Sets Second Netflix Special
By Matt Grobar, Senior Film Reporter
Comedian Robby Hoffman is returning to Netflix next year with a second hour-long special. This follows her debut, Wake Up, directed by John Mulaney, which released globally last December.
At this early stage, no further details are available about the upcoming special. Netflix, however, seems highly invested in Hoffman, having featured her on Verified Stand-Up, Workin’ Moms, Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney, and Netflix Is a Joke Fest.
Named one of Deadline’s Comics Who Won 2025, Hoffman is a queer ex-Hasidic comic from Brooklyn, renowned for her intense, direct comedic style. She is an Emmy-nominated actor and Emmy-winning writer, having made a splash with her standout role on HBO Max’s Hacks and appearances on HBO’s Rooster (opposite Steve Carell) and FX’s Dying for Sex (opposite Michelle Williams).
Hoffman began her career as a writer, earning a 2019 Daytime Emmy for her work on the PBS series Odd Squad, and has since contributed to shows like Workin’ Moms, Baroness Von Sketch Show, and The Chris Gethard Show. She debuted her critically acclaimed special, I’m Nervous, on CraveTV in 2019.
She hosts the podcast Too Far with Robby Hoffman and is currently developing an HBO series titled UnEntitled, for which she will serve as writer, executive producer, and star. She is represented by UTA, OPE Partners, and Schreck Rose Dapello.
