With this series, Hasan Minhaj has become the first person of Indian heritage to host a non-fiction comedy show on a ​large scale prime American network.

The teaser​ of Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj ​plays off the title of the show, with a sketch showing 3 NSA-adjacent surveillance agents tracking his whereabouts and communication.​ As per Netflix, ​in this new topical weekly show, comedian Hasan Minhaj will cut through the noise and explore the modern cultural and political landscape with depth and sincerity. ​

Netflix has ordered an unprecedented 32 episodes ​already, ​to be released weekly​ until the end of 2019. It is co-created by Prashanth Venkataramanujam and led by showrunner Jim Margolis, both of whom have previously worked with Minhaj at The Daily Show.

Hasan Minhaj ha​s​ been a senior correspondent on on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show from 2014 to 2018. He came to widespread notice in 2017 when he was the featured speaker at the 2017 White House Correspondents’ Dinner​,​ and his 2017 Netflix special Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King​ ​earned him a 2018 Peabody Award.

New episodes of the political comedy show will drop every ​Sunday​, starting October 28. This would be the streaming giant’s only active weekly talk show.​ Add it to your watchlist here on Netflix (pun intended, lol).

For those in America and Canada, his tour, Before The Storm, runs October 7 – 18 beginning in Toronto and closing in New York City.
