When is the UK release time for the Chris Rock Netflix special Selective Outrage? HITC investigates.
Some comedians can raise laughs like no other and we all have our favorites.
However, if Chris Rock isn’t on your list of the GOATs, maybe a certain Netflix special will change your mind.
The 58-year-old American stand-up comedian is known for such shows as Everbody Hates Chris and movies like Grown Ups. Speaking of movies, he hosted the Academy Awards in 2022 and was slapped by Hollywood actor Will Smith in a now infamous moment that went viral. The comedian had made a joke about the A-lister’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
Looking back, Chris has had audiences laughing with such specials as Bigger & Blacker (1999), Never Scared (2004), Kill The Messenger (2008), and Chris Rock: Tamborine (2020). Now, he’s back to flex his comedic muscles with a new special called Selective Outrage, premiering live and exclusively on Netflix.
With that in mind, let’s get the Chris Rock Netflix special UK release time and date explained.

The UK release time for Chris Rock: Selective Outrage is 3 am on Sunday, March 5th 2023.
If you’re wondering why it’s on so late – or early, rather – it’s because the special is premiering live, Netflix Tudum reports.
It begins streaming in the US on Saturday, March 4th at 10 pm ET/7 pm PT. So, to ensure that audiences in the US and UK can tune in simultaneously, it begins premiering in the UK in the early hours.
If you find the special on Netflix ahead of the release time, you can click on the ‘Remind Me’ icon to receive an alert of when it becomes available.
Although the actual special begins at 3 am UK time, The Show Before The Show begins at 2.30 am. So, to help build anticipation and keep you awake for the main event, it may be worth opening Netflix early and watching the pre-show.
Is the Chris Rock Netflix special available after?
Yes, although the special is premiering live, it will still be available to watch at any time afterward.
For UK audiences, this means you won’t have to set your alarm clocks and wake up early if you don’t wish to watch it live.
Available at your own convenience, it’s sure to be a popular streaming choice in the weeks to follow.
‘I heard Summertime ringing in my ears’
Chris has referenced the notorious Will Smith Oscars slap a handful of times.
“The thing people wanna know…did it hurt?” Chris reportedly said, as reported by the Evening Standard.
“Hell yeah, it hurt. He played Muhammad Ali! I played Pookie [in the movie New Jack City]. Even in animated movies, I’m a zebra; he’s a f***ing shark. I got hit so hard, I heard [the 1991 Will Smith song] Summertime ringing in my ears.”
Chris Rock: Selective Outrage begins premiering in the UK at 3 am on Sunday, March 5th 2023, exclusively on Netflix.
