Hasan Minhaj’s Patriot Act has come to an end on Netflix. The comedian broke the news on Twitter thanking the writers, producers, researchers and animators of the show. He also acknowledged the support of the streaming giant Netflix. The show ran for six season and had won numerous awards.

Patriot Act premiered on the streaming service in October 2018 and released 39 episodes. What turned out to be its final episode was aired in June 2020. The series has often found itself at the center of controversy. In 2019, Netflix removed an episode from steaming in Saudi Arabia after officials complained that it reflected the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in bad light. The episode was critical of the Prince and his alleged role in the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

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
