Netflix don't currently have any talkshow-style content on their roster; instead opting for series that are binge-friendly - such as House of Cards and Orange Is The New Black.
Speaking to Howard Stern, Handler previously said that she was keen to chat to Neflix after disregarding the idea of working in network television again. However, at the time it was denied that she was in talks at that point.
She also called E!, who air Chelsea Lately, a "sad, sad place to live".
"They don't know what they're doing. They have no ideas. It's a failure," she added.
