The comedy satire series Servant of the People, which stars former actor and current Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is available again on the streamer. Zelenskyy played a teacher who became president of Ukraine after a video of him complaining about corruption went viral in the show, which was on Ukrainian television from 2015 to 2019.

Zelenskyy decided to run for president of the Ukranian in 2019, and the show ended after he won. Zelenskyy told his supporters in his acceptance speech that he would never fail them.

Zelenskyy has become a familiar face to international audiences despite not being widely available on premium services in the US. Zelenskyy has appeared by video to the governing bodies of Western countries, imploring them to push for a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

Being the leader of the world means being the leader of peace.
