Netflix has finally announced the release date of their much-awaited special, My Next Guest With David Letterman And Shah Rukh Khan. The stand-alone interview will launch exclusively on the streaming platform on 25 October, 2019 across 190 countries.

Netflix released a promo for the show along with the announcement on Wednesday 9 October.

Earlier this summer, legendary talk show host David Letterman engaged in a candid and memorable conversation with Shah Rukh, the beloved cinematic icon who is said to have won a billion hearts around the world.

The show will be a stand alone special on Netflix and combines two interests for which Letterman is renowned: In-depth conversations with extraordinary people, and in-the-field segments expressing his curiosity and humor.

SRK had shared his excitement on working with Letterman and Netflix.

He said, “I’ve watched David Letterman’s late-night talk show for years and I’m a huge fan of his style of interviewing. I’m thrilled, and honoured to share my story with him. That this is on Netflix is even more special – I’m working with the team on various projects and it’s always been exciting partnering with them.”

Later David Letterman said “The best part of this job that Netflix has been happy to provide for me is to meet people. And after each one of these sessions I think to myself, it is a very smart, very lovely person”.
