Chris Rock is making a comeback after the slap gate episode with Will Smith. His Netflix comedy special titled ‘Selective Outrage’ now has a release date.&nbsp;

The show will live stream on Netflix. It will land on March 4, a year after the Oscar incident with Will Smith. Will Smith had slapped Chris Rock during his hosting stint as he made a joke about Will’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.&nbsp;

It resulted in Will Smith handing in his resignation from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and a ban from attending Academy events for 10 years.

Will Smith apologised to the comedian and said, "I've reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he's not ready to talk, and when he is he will reach out. So I will say to you, Chris, I apologise to you. My behaviour was unacceptable, and I'm here whenever you're ready to talk."

Chris Rock has since joked about the incident. He even mentioned this during his UK tour. The comedian had said, "Did that s--- hurt? Goddamn right… the motherf----- hit me over a bulls--t joke, the nicest joke I ever told."

‘Chris Rock: Selective Outrage’ will be the first comedy special that Netflix will live stream in a global event. It will also be Rock's second special on the streaming service after releasing ‘Chris Rock: Tamborine’ in 2018.

Here's when Chris Rock's comedy special will premiere on Netflix

Netflix will stream an event live for the first time next year, with comedian Chris Rock hosting a real-time special for the on-demand platform that has lured millions of viewers away from traditional broadcast television.

The comedy show, which will be Rock's second for Netflix after 2018's 'Chris Rock: Tamborine',&nbsp;will be available to watch in early 2023, the company said, without providing further details.

"Chris Rock is one of the most iconic and important comedic voices of our generation," said Netflix comedy vice president Robbie Praw, in a statement.

"We're thrilled the entire world will be able to experience a live Chris Rock comedy event and be a part of Netflix history.

"This will be an unforgettable moment and we're so honoured that Chris is carrying this torch."

Netflix, which lost subscribers for the first time earlier this year before recently reporting a return to growth, has been experimenting with new models, including a cheaper subscription option subsidized by advertisements.

On Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Netflix was looking into offering live sports on its platform for the first time.
