Handler's show will air Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays without commercials. The half-hour series will premiere May 11 on the streaming site.
The talk show will see Handler travel around the world to learn "new things" and interview public figures. The television personality joked her "dream guest list" is Michelle Obama, Pope Francis and Arnold Schwarzenegger's maid.
Handler hosted E! series Chelsea Lately for seven seasons before leaving the network in 2014. She announced her partnership with Netflix shortly after.
"If I was going to continue working in this industry, I knew I had to do something outside the box to keep me interested," she said at the time. "I'm more excited than I've been in a while, and the team at Netflix is the most forward thinking, alert group I've sat down with in ages."
Netflix aired Handler's standup comedy special Uganda Be Kidding Me in 2014 and ran the four-part documentary Chelsea Does in January.
