Chelsea Handler021 Archivesnever one to shy away from politics.

Season one of her Netflix show Chelsea tackled a ton of topics -- ranging from education to the election -- and the talk show host led and organized a star-studded Women's March at Sundance Film Festival.

Now that President Trump is in office, the on-air personality is ready to make the sophomore season of Chelseaeven more political.

"Obviously there's a huge spectacle happening right now," she said in a phone interview with Mashable. "We're going to talk a lotof politics next season."

Handler is more interested in getting a mix of Republicans and Democrats on the show.

"I want people on the show with different opinions," she said. "I don’t want to shame anyone for voting for Trump...it's about having real conversations with people, and learning and growing from them."

In fact, after the election, Handler said she re-registered as an Independent because she believes in parties "working together."

She's not the only talk show host to delve deeper into the political arena. Trump's election has been nothing but a momentum-changer many who have their own shows to helm, ranging from Daily Show host Trevor Noah to TBS' Samantha Bee.

Still, Handler emphasized the best part about having her own Netflix show is being able to do more than just one thing.

The show will now switch to a once-a-week format, with episodes dropping on Netflix on Friday nights. There will be a total of 30 one-hour episodes.

"Netflix told me most people are watching my show on Fridays," she said. "Netflix viewing habits are so different from regular network TV. We were kind of experimenting [in] Season 1. And to me, one big episode per week instantly seemed more attractive because of my desire to delve into topics further. With an hour you can get into serious stuff, and still get into funny stuff."

Because Chelseais available to stream across the globe, Handler said she likes incorporating "documentary style" into her show as well.

"My intention with this show is to go after things where I can get an education," she said. "I just want to find stuff that makes me uncomfortable, and make it funny and serious if it needs to be."

That means a lot of traveling, everywhere from Montana to France.

Next season, Handler has a lot of quirky adventures. Expect to see her participating in a Bollywood dance class while in India, helping farmers bring two baby lambs into the world in Whales and a whole lot of other fun activities.

Chelsea returns to Netflix on April 14.
