Comedian Hasan Minhaj has said his popular show Patriot Act would not be returning to Netflix.
Minhaj shared the news of the show's end on Twitter, expressing his gratitude to all those who worked on it.
What a run. @patriotact has come to an end. I got to work with the best writers, producers, researchers, and animators in the game. My 2 babies were born and grew up with the show. TY to @Netflix and everyone who watched. Now it’s time to return these screens to Best Buy pic.twitter.com/4s4TrsKWe6— Hasan Minhaj (@hasanminhaj) August 18, 2020
In 2019, after the Indian government revoked Jammu and Kashmir's special status, Minhaj had shared a clip from an upcoming episode of his show expressing solidarity with the people of the erstwhile state.
"As India celebrates its independence, let's think about the people who don't seem to have any right now," he had said.
